ASK Italian - Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

Gavin was very friendly and enjoyed helping us choose what was in the menu . There was a couple of ingredients we wondered if they could be left off. Nothing was a problem . Gavin made our trip most enjoyable . Many thanks

Service was great as staff were super friendly and helpful however food was mediocre at best and not great value. Super disappointed as I wanted it to be a treat for a family member. I won't be rushing back

Relaxed atmosphere and nice dinner with family Very good service and friendly staff

Delicioso almuerzo en Ask in Aberdeen: comida perfecta, incluyendo sin gluten; restaurante limpio; personal amable y servicial. Gracias en particular a Fiona.

Everything was lovely didn’t get their names but the 2 people who served us were lovely (one girl had tattoos the guy had a black shirt on) the food was so good and the portions were perfect will definitely be back!

Super friendly staff with great food Gavin was class

El servicio era tan lento, la camarera, la cocina, todo al respecto. La comida también era promedio, mi esposa puede hacer una mejor salsa de pasta!

Good value, for very good food.

The best Italian food place in Aberdeen with also excellent customer service.

The service from the only waitress who serves the restaurant is remarkable, very friendly, smiling and takes the time to answer your questions even with several other diners in the restaurant. The food could definitely improve, the pizza is good but I think it's the only thing you could rule out from their menu.

Thanks to Orla for her great table service, very friendly.

They have amazing pizza and the food is great. The restaurant is large and open with great staff who look after you and it’s well worth visit.

Amazing customer service from Murray!!

great service from murray lovely food

Murray was a fantastic server, food was amazing and price was great too. Would highly recommend 👌

This is a nice place to go with your family. Quite delicious and yes, it tastes a bit like Italian cuisine

Great service and the food was amazing

Amazing food, served with a smile at all times, pizza and carbonara are some of my favourites. Atmosphere is great and very friendly

Enjoyable experience, great food and friendly staff

Very disappointing. They close at 10pm on a Friday, yet we came in at 8:30pm tonight and staff dithered, clearly trying to decide whether to turn us away or not and eventually just ignored us. So frustrating as decent pizza takes barely a few minutes to cook and if you close at 10pm that shouldn't be a problem. I guess the manager had the night off...won't be returning. Your closure should not include clean-up time! 🙄 Don't forget to blame "lack of footfall" when you tell P&J why you're closing of course. 🤦‍♂️

Went the other night as a group of 5 and the service was fantastic! I’ve not had great service like this in a long time! The staff were all so friendly and helpful and professional! Food was lovely and the place is very nicely decorated! Will be back! Thank you!✨

Brilliant atmosphere, friendly service, good choice of food.

Mi hija y yo estamos libres de gluten, pregunté por menús adecuados para nosotros. La señora que me habló fue muy eficiente, amable y sabía de lo que estaba hablando. Fue un buen comienzo. Luego nos sentó el camarero que era igual de amable. El menú se veía fantástico, aunque habría estado bien si hubiera más opciones para el menú gf, pero por lo demás, increíble! El precio del menú de los niños era spot on. En general, estoy muy impresionado con la comida y el servicio aquí. Sin duda volveremos.

Fue a PREGUNTAR italiano para la cena improvisada. La comida era muy buena relación calidad-precio, teniendo en cuenta el costo de las comidas hoy en día y el personal excelente servicio.

Servers were very quick and helpful Food was delicious, especially the calamari

We really enjoyed our family dinner. The food was very tasty and our waitress Lauren looked after us well. She made our son feel super special and he left full and happy. Thank you Lauren and ASK, we’ll be back in the New Year.

Elegimos el menú y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Tenía el pan de ajo mozzarella que venía bien presentado y mi marido tenía el pollo recién hecho, toda la comida estaba. Yo tenía el plato de espaguetis vegetales para mi principal y mi marido tenía la pizza festiva junto con el pastel de queso biscoff de postre. Todo muy sabroso y bien presentado. Además el servicio fue de primera categoría y el personal muy atento. Volveré de nuevo.

Orla was very attentive and lovely! Food was delicious - especially the veggie Christmas Carbonara

Nice staff, delicious food and kids options to customise

Avoid. Worst bolognese I've ever had. Watery and tasteless.

Hugely overpriced for poor food and portions. The waiter made a ‘joke’ about the lack of any visible pancetta in the carbonara and assured us there was some in there, there were 6 pieces…we took a photo…6 pieces of pancetta in a £16.50 carbonara… The manager removed the meal from our bill, but if the waiter noticed before serving and made a joke, why didn’t he just return it to the chef?? My own mushroom pasta dish was ok, but had an air of microwave meal about it and took seconds to eat, again at £16…. I won’t go back, not a chance.

Warm welcome when we arrived and Grace was amazing, great service, very attentive!

Awful food , watery sauce very little mince, worse lasagne ever had, no cheese on top , and tasted really sweet, didn't even resemble a lasagne. Friend supposed to have pasta in a creamy chicken and mushroom wine sauce, pasta undercooked and very little watery sauce couldn't be found, dry, inedible reconstituted chicken. Did complain and they took both meals away, chef must have been off and they were having a bad day. Wasn't charged ,couldn't fault service, waitress was lovely.

Megan was great at the aberdeen branch looked after us with special dietary needs and food was as good and reasonable as always

Megan and thr staff were great. Food excellent Extra shot Americano Coffee 👍👍👍

Had such a great time there with my boyfriend, the staff were really kind and helpful, especially fiona who took our orders. The place was really nice and the food was good, especially the pizzas.

Had lasagne and was barely any mince or béchamel sauce . Just 3 sheets of pasta and the bottom one was burnt so hard onto the dish it wouldn’t come off . I would NOT recommend this place at all. Was not busy when other restaurants in union square queueing at their doors . Wish I TAKEN THEIR ADVICE and went somewhere else

I’ve been to a lot of ask Italian restaurants and they have been pretty mid, however Gavin today blew me away with how attentive and quick the service was and was super helpful with any and all requests.

Excellant Service great food, friendly staff and paid good attention to food intolerances

Great meal and excellent service.

Best Gluten Free Pizza i've ever tasted. G.F. pasta also available. Friendly service, nice surroundings, defo be vack for more. Loved the little welcoming lemonade shot, very refreshing and a nice wee touch.

lovely cocktails, plenty of options and really cosy environment!! really recommend calamari and cheese/garlic chips

It is still my favorite restaurant, the food is very delicious, fresh, the homemade lemonade is fantastic, the staff is very kind and always attentive to the guest, this is real hospitality, thank you again for the good experience.

Excellent dinner, food was tasty and fair priced our server Sara was very efficient thank you once again will be visiting again soon

Orla, our waitress was very helpful, excellent manners and really friendly. Service was impeccable food was awesome as usual. Our favourite place to dine when our shopping is done.

Fantastic place, one of the best in Aberdeen

Popped in for a quick lunch before flying back to Oslo, and what a great experience it was. We were welcomed by friendly staff who helped us store our luggage before we were shown to a calm and quiet booth in the restaurant. My wife has some hearing issues, and the noise level was perfect for her, so we could manage to have a conversation during our meal😃 We were served by the lovely Cira ( hope I spelled her name correctly), and on her recommendation, we opted for the trio of arrancini for starters and the Beef Brisket Pappardelle and Calzone Carne Piccante as our main dishes. And man, that was some excellent choices 😃 The pasta was freshly made and served with a very rich tasting beef brisket and red wine sauce topped with parmesan. The pizza was filled with ham, beef, pepperoni, red wine ragu, sautéed mushrooms, tomato sauce, some very spicy chillies ❤️❤️❤️ and mozzarella cheese. Finished the meal with a couple of double espressos. This was overall a very pleasant experience and we can highly recommend a visit. And we will definitely be back next time we visit Aberdeen. Keep up the great work!

Simply the best pizza base dough in Aberdeen. Toppings are really authentic too. Highly recommended

Would recommend the carabona everytime.

Lovely dinner and even though the restaurant was very busy we didn’t have a long wait. Our server was lovely and answered all our questions. We will be back!

Ordered online . Lasagne was literally just pasta no sauce. Very little meat.

Took advantage of their propotional two for one meals. To be completely honest I didn't think my pasta choice was going to be nice but I was wrong. It was delicious and filling. Service was very quick indeed and the girl who looked after us was bright, talkative and cared. I would certainly recomend them. One thing however, the seating is very worn. I can imagine several thousand backsides have sat on the same spot as I mine did.

Recibimos una bienvenida muy cálida y amable y nos preguntaron si teníamos una preferencia para qué mesa nos sentamos. Todo el personal era atento, profesional y amable. La comida llegó en 6 minutos y era absolutamente delicioso. Tan sabroso y las porciones del tamaño correcto para el almuerzo. Sinceramente, puedo decir que no he recibido un servicio al cliente como este en mucho tiempo. Bien hecho a todo el personal!

Excellent food, generous portion sizes, service fantastic, more comfortable pricing I feel compared to parallel restaurants. Well Done Ask Italian, highly commended!! 👏

Beautifully fresh food and excellent professional and friendly staff. We had a great time! We highly recommend it!

Excellent as always. Lovely food and friendly helpful staff. Always eat here when in Aberdeen.

Absolute shambles - Not enough staff. Waited, at entrance, for several minutes as the "greeter" was rushing around serving food. Piles of used dishes and glasses on trays, stacked at bar - not a welcoming site. Waited at table for 20 minutes, for orders to be taken, then another 20 min for drinks and starter. No cutlery! Another 30 minutes wait, after finishing starter, for main meal. Not a good experience!!! But, food was tasty. Fault was NOT in the staff, they were rushing around , trying to get people served. Fault is with duty manager who was still accepting "walk ins", without bookings, while not having enough staff to provide acceptable service

Have visited a few times. Staff are all lovely, particularly Holly. Nduja bites are my favourite although everything I have had was cooked and served very well. Would definitely visit again.

Loved the nduja bites 😍 so tasty 😋. Everything I've eaten I've thoroughly enjoyed. Its a great relaxed atmosphere. Great service from Holly! Will definitely be back when I'm in Aberdeen!

La comida que tuvimos fue fantástica (muy sabroso y buenos tamaños de porción). El personal era muy amable y nos atendió bien durante nuestra visita.

Servicio increíble y comida! Bien vale la pena visitar, incluso cuando está ocupado el servicio seguía siendo atento y amable. Bueno para familias o incluso simplemente un bocado de almuerzo rápido

Las luces tenues y las velas lo hacen muy romántico y el servicio es muy bueno.

Fuimos a una cena de cumpleaños para mi madre y nos lo pasamos de maravilla. A pesar de que estaba ocupado tuvimos una bonita cabina y el personal era muy atento y nos hizo sentir bien atendido. Tanto la pizza como la pasta servida era muy buena e incluso nos dieron un postre sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi madre del personal! Nos encantaría volver.

Only gave a 1 cause u cant rate a zero im shocked 38 pound for a pizza with hardly any topping had pasta which was just chewy spaggetie and mozarela on top which was just hard lumps of nasty mushy cheese and the service when she had to put on cheese grated like as if it was such a hard ship im so shockes first and last time here only one lady was nice when i arrive lady with dark hair never felt so unwelcome and looked down on in any food place :( really sad for 38 pound :(

Very busy and is always busy in centre of aberdeen food was good well noisy.

We had a lovely welcome from Megan and the team. Amazing attention and consideration around allergies in the group. Food was great, and the service was really lovely.

Great menu. Delicious food. Fantastic service.

Mellow dinner on a Saturday with my family. Faultless service from Lauren.

We had a lovely night with Fiona as our server! Lovely vibes with lovely food

Great service, great food. We Had to add seats, last minute and then had to cancel them again, in addition to some of our party being late. The staff non the less, were exceptionally accommodating and came back several times to check on food, drinks & drinks despite it being still relatively busy. Wait staff also helped with splitting the bill as there appeared to be some issues with the app. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Have to admit we were pleasantly surprised, food absolutely amazing, best Risotto I have ever had, my daughter said her Carbonara is better than our favourite Italian back home and that takes some beating. Alla is an amazing waitress too. Great experience will definitely be back. 5 star all round.

I enjoy Ask Italian very much, however my experience today wasn't very good. The food was excellent as always, however I felt the staff let it down. I felt it was quite negative from the start, I asked to sit at the back as I get alot of anxiety sitting around lots of people. At first the staff member seemed hesitant and I mentioned I get alot of anxiety around people. She didn't say anything other then, looking at the door and said I am aware it will get busy ( something along the lines of this) I felt her whole approach to me was quite negative and it seemed like I was a burden. Also I felt I was rushed and I just didn't feel fully comfortable the whole time. I feel it shouldn't matter where a person sits, if I have acknowledged I have anxiety this should have been seen as important, and every customer should be treated with kindness. You never know what someone is going through. Everyone is different and I felt really sad that I was treated this way. Other than that Ask Italian is always very tasty and definitely worth it despite the treatment by staff.

I had thought I wouldn’t be able to eat at Ask Italian as I am gluten intolerant. On checking the menu I discovered they do a non gluten menu. I asked inside and the manageress could not have been more helpful. She made sure I had everything I needed. She waited on our table and was friendly, helpful and attentive. In some eateries I have been made to feel I am being awkward or an inconvenience when I ask if they cater for gluten intolerances. Today I felt very welcome at Ask Italian.

Great food and exceptional service for kids and adults. Thank you!

Lovely meal for fathers day. Party of 6 however one of parties meal was a problem. Young waitress got it sorted out and kindly took the cost of the bill. Our waitress was so lovely and had a good rapport with our grandson. She had him laughing and giggling.

The pizza was very delicious! We really enjoyed it and the service was also really nice. Would come back anytime!!

Natalie was an excellent host. Will return for future meals, absolutely delicious.

Lauren was an amazing server! Very friendly and bubbly.

Server Natalie T super friendly and charismatic

Natalie was such an amazing server - she was so attentive. Can’t recommend enough!

Lovely lunch with my husband. Staff were friendly and helpful, definitely be back.

It was the first visit for my friend & I to Ask Italian and it was an enjoyable one. Great service, lovely food and a nice relaxed place for us to eat and catch up.

Very good place food is lovely. Staff are amazing I was in with a friend who has an allergy and they catered for that very well.

Great meal out for my wife's birthday staff were great

Just been for lunch. Had the crab and lobster ravioli. The creamy sauce was terrible. Literally cream poured on the ravioli with no seasoning and hard uncooked courgette. No seasoning. My husband had pizza and said it was also poor. Wish we'd gone to Prezzo next door.

Have visited several times and never disappointed. Have tried several things off the menu over the years.

I got my apple juice in speedy time and the pizza is bloody brilliant and delicious

the staff were lovely and the food was amazing !!

Had a great experience yesterday, our meal was delicious and piping hot and my partners pizza was huge, the tiramisu is to die for. Thanks to Sara we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

It was very nice. Quick and friendly service. Good food !

My server and hostess, Sarah , was welcoming and very helpful. Kudos to her.

Amazing customer service from Murray!!

We had a LOVELY experience when we were here for my husbands birthday. A gentleman from the establishment (I assumed an owner perhaps) asked us if we were happy with where we had been put and we weren't so he moved us to a lovely romantic spot in the corner, I was EXTREMELY impressed! Thanks

Popped into ask Italian with a friend earlier this afternoon for some food and drinks - neither of us had been before and thought we would give it a go and I’m so glad we did! I opted for the Garlic King Prawn Pizza (which I was told was a new addition to the menu) and it was delicious with just the right amount of garlic. I hope this is something that stays on the menu for good. My friend had the carbonara and said it was lovely also. Lauren was our lovely waitress. She was very welcoming and made our first experience at ask Italian a pleasant one. She recommended the pink spritz cocktail for us to try - it was so tasty. A really good Italian option for Aberdeen and I would highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

Murray served us and was great.

Our server was Lauren - she was so helpful and patient with our very lively toddler!

Over 2 weeks ago I was here for a meal with my friend and I was double charged by the restaurant. They told me to call back and confirm my card details for a refund which I did promptly. A whole 2 weeks later nothing has happened and I have still not received a refund. I have had no update as to when my refund will be processed. Very disappointed and will not be returning.

Me and my mum went there and it was amazing, I had the carbonara and it was delicious, we also took the biscoff cheese cake and it was lovely. My mum normally doesn’t like Italians but this time she really liked it. It’s definitely worth coming here and I will be coming back

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, everything perfect
