ASK Italian - Cardiff in Cardiff

Amazing food and service as always

This review is to the lovely waiter who said i was pleasant to talk to tonight haha! Literally the loveliest waiter and made my partner and I’s night so much better. Food was absolutely delicious too!

Callum was a brilliant host for us when we attended for a hen party on Saturday night! He was very assertive and attentive to the party.

Went on a hen night meal with a group of girls on the 5th of October and Calum was our server. He was so friendly and so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and the food and drinks all arrived quickly and were amazing! Thankyou Calum!!

The food is excellent , we ordered a risotto and fettuccini al ragú, everything was delicious. Nika was friendly.

Great with celiac disease, the food was delicious!

Nika was absolutely lovely. She was very attentive and always made sure we had something to drink.

I love it!! I went there today, for the first time, to celebrate my birthday and had a great time. The staff were kind and welcoming which made the experience even better (ESPECIALLY MIA!!). The food was AMAZING!!! I loved the pasta and cheesecake (I got a free dessert so I loved it even more) The restaurant itself is pretty, well decorated and quiet. Even when it got busy, I was able to enjoy my time there. I would 100% go again :)

Wasn’t the experience I thought it would be. Man Manager, very disappointed in his attitude to the customer experience. He needs to know about personal hygiene and cleanliness. Bar person was coughing and not washing hands after. Would not come back!

The food was amazing, gorgeous place and Mia was Lush! Thank you for a fab night!!

Food came like warm and dry but the waiter was excellent and took it and changed it all for fresh. Very happy with the service and the standard of food when it was swapped out. Will revisit.

Highly recommend the restaurant , food was lovely and our server Callum was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, would definitely recommend and return when next in cardiff

We have been to many ASK restaurants across the UK but this one has to be one of the worse ones we have ever eaten in. We Came to celebrate my wedding anniversary on Saturday evening. 1 or 2 staff members were helpful kind and supportive but others were rude and didn’t care about customer service at all. Very disappointing and when complained about the food being very under cooked we were shouted at and spoken to like dirt. Food wasn’t correct and then wasn’t cooked correctly at all very undercooked which could make a person extremely sick. Very disappointing when you’re away for the weekend and wanted a romantic meal out.

Delicious food as always with great service from Jasmin!

Great food and service from our waitress Mia 😊😊

A very good place to eat with a welcoming and friendly staff. Very Satisfied, highly recommend...

Mia was so lovely and kind and a really good server!!! Had a lovely meal with my friends xx

Wow a welcoming tiny glass of lemonade. Starters of average quality at best. Our mains arrived 75 minutes after arrival..We had to ASK where they were as the main focus was on takeaways…the response was they were busy! At the best the pizzas were average, dry and lacking in flavour. A poor experience that we will not repeat…my friends comment we could have got better quality food,much faster on Caroline street!

Really good food and amazing service :)

The service was amazing Mia was a perfect host, she was pleasant, jovial and incredibly professional. The food was outstanding and this is our second visit and certainly not our last. Highly recommended

Mia needs no words apart from excellence. My day has never been so bright #morethanafeeling. #happyforever

thank you jasmin, you were great!

Came here to celebrate my girlfriend passing university. Fantastic service by Korina and food was delicious!

Amazing launch and Nika was very friendly and helpful, highly recommended

Staff was very friendly despite the busy evening! Among all the Italian chain restaurants, I think they’re the best. The pasta dish I had, it was slightly overcooked though (not al dente).

Many thanks to our hostess korina!

Korina was absolutely lovely, other staff were swell too. Good food and lush atmosphere 10/10 for all

Lovely food nice vibe and staff were excellent

Jakub and Vito were so helpful and kind and the food was amazing!

our server Vito was lovely, as was the food

Very lovely food and welcoming server called Vito! Thank you

We ordered the folded bread with mozzarella, zucchini fritta, and the vegan pizza with roasted rued peppers, onion, and spinach. The food and the service by Vittorio was fantastic. An excellent meal to start our UK vacation. Now I want to return and try the dessert. This is a must visit restaurant, whether you live in town or are from out of town..

What a very warm welcome by staff. We were shown to our table and was seated within seconds. Meal orders were taken at our own pace, I like to have a break in-between courses to allow my food to settle. Food was absolutely delicious, right from the starters to the desserts. Each dish was presented beautifully and plentiful. Special mention to the crab and lobster ravioli which was perfect! The ambience was relaxing. We did however struggle with the size of the table. Tables for two are on the small side to house salt & pepper, flowers, candle, wine and water glasses plus their bottles. When our starters arrived we were juggling said items to make room and a glass of red wine was spilt over my outfit. Staff were very quick to help. Overall can't wait to revisit thank you chef

Delicious food, speedy and kind service from Vitto and team. Can't ask for more! I’ve never seen a more perfect espresso martini! 😋

Mark was very attentive and well-spoken. Amazing advocated amici🇮🇹

Arrived at 4.30pm and immediately presented with 2 complimentary very weak, watered down limoncellos - certainly not the best first impression. However, over the next 2 hours the food and service were excellent - starters, mains, desserts and drinks. A nice experience but please do away with the gimmick at the start - a real limoncello at the end would instead have left a fantastic last impression.

Among the best Italian food we’ve had and we are from NJ. The calzone and lasagna were so tasty and flavorful. Staff was friendly but not intrusive.

Amazing food, really cosy atmosphere, and a lovely server called Vito :-)

Vito was very kind and nice to us! Best place to eat Italian food 🫶🏻

Great food and fantastic, attentive service from Jasmin 👍

We were served by Sapphire, great customer service. Food was amazing. Will return.

Great service by Jasmin, food was fresh and tasty all served promptly. We would certainly return and would highly recommend.

Fabulous food and great attentive service

Amazing experience at Ask Italian tonight. Food was amazing as always and our waitress Jasmin was very attentive to our needs. We’ll definitely be back!!

All round Iceland food for harrod prices, absolutely shocking food not worth the prices charged. And service is terrible.

Overall poor quality food for the price. Pizzas so disappointing. Not cut up. Pepperonis just thrown on there and not enough of them. Nothing like the pictures and tiny.

Awesome food and great service from Calum!

Our server Calum was lovely from greeting us to handing us the bill, allowing us to pick our own table and being very nice about having to complete a challenger 25. The food and drinks were lovely and enjoying in a relaxing atmosphere.

Very good meal under the magnificent arcades. Very pleasant welcome

I was with my family at ASK Cardiff city centre this afternoon, waited outside no staff member came, went inside and waited for few minutes before the staff who was seating on the table approached us saying I can’t serve you know and you have to wait half an hour, the restaurant wasn’t that busy, 5 tables were empty, he could’ve gave us a table with some water just to welcome us which we didn’t mind to wait but the attitude made us feel uncomfortable and looked for another restaurant near by , never again ASK !!!!!

Two difficult girls with gluten free and dairy free requests! Absolutely fabulous service by Alicia!! She was so inviting and understanding, nothing was an issue. Thank you so much Alicia! 10/10 experience and would recommend to a fellow traveller or local. Food was also so delicious!!! We wish we could come back.. get the side honey sausages!!

Excellent dishes, reasonably priced, and served by a very friendly and helpful staff. I come back here every time I’m in Cardiff

Had a lovely date night with my boyfriend, and I’d like to thank duke and jasmine for their service

I was taking my daughter out for a treat lunch on our summer mini break. It was wonderful how Calam greeted us and made her feel important. His kindness and patience with my normally shy daughter gave her confidence, had her grinning, and meant that it was a wonderful meal. Thank you Calum.

Had a very nice lunch at one of their sidewalk tables. Everything we ordered was tasty. Did an excellent good of meeting the dietary restrictions of our party including offering gluten-free pasta for their pasta dishes.
