The food in this restaurant is very reasonable, however a very serious training must be in place with their staff, I believe it was the manager that dealt with my table and was adressing me as if I was one of his staff and not a customer, manners are essential in hospitality.

We came for a meal and it was a nice atmosphere. Food was nice but not amazing. Would definitely go to Zizzi's next time I want chain Italian. Was very samey menu in terms of dishes. The kitchen forgot to include part of our meal, and when I ordered a takeaway desert they didn't include any of the extras. Bit of a rip off for nearly £8. Cocktails are extremely basic and syrup sits at the bottom. Without a straw you have to figure out a way to mix it yourself. Our waiter was extremely friendly though and all the staff were super smiley.

We were in Cardiff for the afternoon, pure fluke that we fancied Italian and Ask Italian was in front of us..... Was as good as winning the lottery, best pizza I've ever had, perfect chips and garlic bread. Our server, Nika, was perfect. Well priced too Every time we're in the area we'll be eating at Ask Italian

Popped in for a family lunch with our children during half term, our waiter Calum was excellent - quick to look after us, accommodating of our request to quickly order the boys food first (as they were staaaarving) and then come back for ours and treating my 8 yr old like an adult - eg asking him what he wanted, checking he was happy etc. The food was lovely and would go back.

I come in fairly regularly with friends and family and I’ve had the server louis a few times. I’m a student so it’s always nice to go out to eat with friends (curtesy of the student discount) and he’s always really pleasant! He remembers me and says hi which is really sweet. I’m not sure how reward systems work in restaurant but I’m hoping he gets something as a well done because he really deserves it!

Even when it got busy, I was able to enjoy my time there. I would 100% go again :)

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.

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!

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

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.

Villagio’s hosted 14 of us for a birthday celebration this weekend. Liaising with Marcello beforehand was really easy and we gave a list of meal choices a week prior to arriving. The staff were very accommodating and food came out all at once and on time. With the two young men that hosted us for lovely and quick with drinks and any service that we needed. They also brought out a cake and took group photos of the group. The food was lovely, and I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Have eaten here several times, never had a bad meal but the service has always been questionable at best. Always seems to have plenty of staff, but, they seem to like to gather behind the bar and chat rather than tend to tables. It’s not a big place, it’s just desperate for the staff to be coordinated to be effective. Seated but no drinks taken, had to prompt for food order. Plates not cleared, had to ask for desert menu, had to ask again to order deserts, had to go to the bar to pay. Given the quality of the food, it’s a real shame, and hard to recommend over the service and on paying is expecting a tip.
