ASK Italian - MetroCentre Gateshead in Gateshead

Today we ate at ask Italian at the metro centre and it was absolutely delicious. Chloe served us and she was very friendly and served us promptly. Me and my mum both had pizzas which were nice and for the price it was a large size. We also had some olives which were standard but still tasted good and finally we had some mocktails which were divine! Looking forward to returning!

First time visit to Ask Italian metro centre, great first time experience, food was brilliant, portion sizes were just right and service was warm,inviting and couldn’t really ask for much more. Our server Scott helped cater to a very fussy 9 year old by making some recommendations and my son came away saying it was “lush” which was a pleasant surprise for him 😂 thanks again Ask Italian/Scott. We will be back

Absolutely amazing experience would highly recommend food was beautiful will definitely be back thank you scott who was our server total asset to the team

Great atmosphere and food was delicious would highly recommend Great service by Scott

Staff were incredibly friendly. Service was excellent. A fabulous experience all round.

Food was lovely, Staff were amazing, Great experience

Excellent customer service in Ask at Gateshead Metro Centre today. The food was amazing and the staff lovely especially the young lady who served us, she is certainly a credit to the company.

Welcoming and kind staff, lovely and comfortable atmosphere, popular among all ages, delicious food that's made with care, Manzo Piccante and Lasagne Grande are firm favourites in our family, we always feel delighted spending time here and leave feeling satisfied. 100% worth it! Plus, we often get served by Mellisa and she's incredibly friendly, knowing how to brighten up the day and make anyone's experience enjoyable!

Me and my friend got two pizzas here and we were hosted by Sophie, she was amazing! My friend is vegan and has a lot of intolerances and Sophie took so much time to go through everything that was suitable and never rushed us/made us feel like a pain. She was absolutely amazing and was lovely overall, which added to the fab atmosphere. The pizzas were stunning as well, would definitely keep coming back here!

Popped in for a quick lunch before getting a train into Newcastle. Was greeted at the door by Steven and taken to a table and served promptly. The service was very quick and Scott made sure everything was correct and happy I ordered one of the new dishes and it was delicious. I will definitely be returning.

Melissa was so friendly and took such good care of us! Food was delicious

Melissa was so lovely and friendly. The food was amazing thanks for suggesting the Biscoff cheesecake

Food was incredible. Service was even better. Mellissa served us and was very knowledgeable about gluten free as my partner is a coeliac. She was extremely friendly and courteous. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Mellissa great service.

Server Mellisa was brilliant. Couldn't do more for us. Credit to the organisation.

Steven was very helpful and pleasant the food was amazing as always

Lovely fresh pizza! Even better when hand delivered by nonna!

First time here, food was perfect, the manager and staff were all amazing. Can’t wait to return.

We visited the restaurant on the 21st Feb 25, was an amazing experience from start to finish. We were looked after by Mellisa, she was truly amazing, very kind and friendly and looked after us while we were dining there. We regularly come to this restaurant and will definitely be returning again very soon.

The lady Mellisa is fantastic. We had an allergy in our party and she had it down to a T. Very reassuring, very welcoming. Credit to Ask Italian.

Always good and my son's loves it 🙂

Scott served me and my friend tonight quick fast food he couldn’t do enough for us food was amazing will definitely be back keep up the good work Scott

First rate service and food, excellent children’s options and very friendly & helpful staff, thank you so much!

Very disappointing birthday meal. Pizza's bland and dry and luke warm at best when they came out. For £16.75 a pizza would expect better quality and taste!!! Chips we lovely but portion size was small (nearly £5). Wth the amount of competition in the metrocentre would expect better. Will never go back.

Valentines night and my hubby and I had booked a meal for after work. I'm that person, coeliac, vegetarian and multiple food allergies! The staff catered for everything. The lovely lady, I believe she was the manager, and if she wasn't she should be, named Melissa provided outstanding service. Our meals arrived promptly, Melissa had made sure that she had taken note of all my requirements so we ate at ease knowing every care had been taken. The atmosphere was calm but happy, the food was absolutely amazing...especially the desserts :-) We will absolutely be returning, we cannot recommend enough. Thank you all for a wonderful meal.

CharlieC was friendly , professional and kind !! Thank you!! Food was incredible as always.

Went there for dinner we both had the most horrific Lasagne ever ... service was absolutely disgusting .. told the server that I did not like the food and we still got charged half of the price even though I only took one bite of it ... never again ...vile

Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Gluten free knowledgeable. Would be nice to have gluten free dough balls or garlic bread.

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent staff

Steven was amazing. Was very thankful for the service and the food.

Been to this location twice now, both servers been lovely, today it was Mellisam and she was super professional and knew the menu well.

I had the gluten free pizza and it was amazing, Melissa looked after us and was amazing.

Lovely lunch at Ask Italian. We both had pasta mains which were good potion size and tasty, fettuccine bolognese and carbonara. Deserts good too. Quick and polite service from Steven.

Saturday was the 3rd time we have eaten at your restaurant in the metro centre I would highly recommend it our server was a young man called Yannis who very polite his service was excellent cannot rate him highly enough.

First time in the food court at the metro centre, my daughter told me about this one so we tried it, open kitchen so you can see your food cooking and really nice service (ask for Charlie the waitress) the food was faultless, definitely going back to this one p.s free shot of homemade lemonade when you get seated to your table. 😘

Mellisa and Evelyn were fantastic, they both showed us amazing customer service from beginning to end, making sure to ask us if everything was alright. Will definitely be back

Ideal with young children. Waitress really went above and beyond

Lovely fresh food, service was excellent very friendly and efficient. Would definitely highly recommend

Fabulous! Sophie was lovely and attentive.

IAM gluten free,the lady serving us was efficient and so helpful.she chatted to us about lots of different things and made it a fabulous experience

Gabriella was an exceptional host. We will be back very soon!

Food was lovely, quick service, Mel was great

A wonderful atmosphere, seamless & professional service and a beautiful array of food for 12 of us. Well done ASK, we had a truly lovely meal here tonight. Thank you so much!

Amazing Food and service! Would highly recommend!

Perfect service and Perfect food 5*

The food was amazing, and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. The bread we had for a starter in particular was some of the nicest I've had. In addition, the manager was extremely helpful when my husband asked about reducing garlic in his dishes. Altogether a genuinely lovely experience.

Visited today food very nice cooked to perfection staff very friendly and helpful excellent service and exceptionally clean would definitely go back

We came here with 10 of use in a party great food & service had a great time will come back again Thanks again Sophie for looking after us.

Food was fantastic and Sophie was an absolute delight. Really made the meal for us. And she was brilliant with my allergies.

Melissa the waitress looked after us very well. She was very attentive, made sure we were happy with our meals and was very friendly. Great gluten free options, coeliac friendly, amazing food. We will definitely be back again!

Staff are always lovely in here. Great knowledge on allergies including gluten free which is why we come for our daughter

Again we’ve had amazing food and even better service at Ask. Sophie is just the best server we’ve ever had, she makes us feel so welcome, my wife is Gluten, Dairy and egg intolerant and Sophie reminds us every time we come in what she can have, what new things have come onto the menu and what can be adapted for us, and everything arrives very clearly labelled. Just the very best food and service all round 😁.

We remain loyal regulars here.. My wife has severe allergies and the Sophie and staff are always helpful and respectful of our needs. Cannot fault the service or the food.

Food was immense, and the staff were some of the most friendly I've ever been served by. Fantastic place

This is one of our favourite places to eat mainly because my wife is Coeliac and needs a safe gluten free variety of food. The staff are fully clued up with allergies and always ask on entering whether anyone has any. The GF menu is very substantial and the spicy calabria pizza is one of the best pizzas I have had. Also a big plus is the special perks you get when joining the mailing list. We have had numerous free sides, mains and starters. Also my wife was very surprised to receive a £10 off voucher around her birthday. All in all I would definitely recommend ASK italian.

Amazing service! Were very attentive to my husbands allergies and had sure he got a dish that was correct for him

Lovely meal with my wife and great service from the staff as usual.

Amazing food and friendly helpful staff. Plenty of.options to choose from on the menu and always good offers if you subscribe to emails. Often visit for.lunch and dinner and never disappointed.

Food was great as usual and the service was great

Never been to an Ask Italian before but our experience was pleasant! Lovely staff who were very helpful, especially with allergies as one of our group had a nut allergy. We had calamari, bruscetta, meatballs, pizza, seafood linguine. All the food was fresh and well cooked. We'd definitely come back if we're in Newcastle.

Thank you Melissa for taking care of us. My partner and I are both coeliacs. Melissa was very understanding and knowledgeable about our requirements which made our dining out experience great. Lots of choice for us and what we chose was delicious.

Food was gorgeous as always and staff were friendly. I only rated 4 stars as we had a long wait for the food and then had another wait for the bill.

Absolutely first class as always today and our waitress, Alice was brilliant as always!!

My Grandma is gluten-free, they were so helpful with a menu for her which was easy to use and the service was lovely. Would recommend!

The food was amazing as always and the staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming. Thank you for a great evening!

I had a great meal out here with my family. Went here for tea on the 21/08/2024 as I was moving the next day. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was top notch. Service was fast and it was a nice atmosphere.

Greeted and seated by a lovely waitress, with a smile on her face called Charlie. Drinks came straight away and the food followed shortly after, which was fantastic! The kids had a child’s carbonara, a salami misti pizza and I had the carne calzone all of which were delicious and the best calzone I’ve had in a long time! We were asked if everything was okay then after finishing, the plates were cleared and we decided to opt for the tiramisu which again was amazing! Very friendly, attentive and informative staff and fantastic food! Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Italian food.

Walked up and about 4 tables with people on. Asked for a table and advised be 45 minute wait as they about to have breaks. Bad management if they haven’t got enough staff to serve in a reasonable time.

We came for tea today with two small children and a teenager. The kids' menu is very good, with options to have the source on the side (very important). Starters were great, really tasty. There's never very many veg options, but there were enough here. We just wanted to say thank you to Mellisa for her incredible patience as the kids spilled drinks and were too shy to order for themselves! A super woman.

This is one of our favourite places to eat and we very often visit while at the metro centre. The food never disappoints and the staff are always friendly & polite. The cheese fondue is phenomenal as is the zucchini fries, gorgeous.

Food was delicious staff were so friendly and helpful I was very impressed at how well they cater for allergies

Wonderful food and excellent service. Staff was friendly. I like how they inquire if anyone has any allergies before ordering so that they can accommodate everyone. Great price for the portions. Clean.

Wife loved food. Defo go back Highly recommended

Staff are always really friendly and, take the time to speak to us. It’s a solid favourite for us ❤️

I LOVED it here! The kids meal was only £7.50 and it was massive, a starter, a massive bowl of pasta and a dessert, the garlic bread (folded) was so nice! 💜 I will definitely visit here again. 💙 The lemonade was so delicious 😋 and we got free samples.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Scott was super friendly and the rest of the waiting staff were lovely. Food was fresh, delicious with a big variety!

We had a lovely meal, with great friendly service. The staff were very considerate to our child with coeliac disease also.

food was absolutely delicious and didn’t take too long to get out to us, the service was excellent, sophie was our server and she was lovely! reasonably priced too, got two mains and two sides, two drinks and a starter for £61

Best Italian dishes I’ve ever tasted.

Such a lovely restaurant, beautiful and delicious foods and amazing service!

Fabulous lunch at Ask Italian Gateshead 🥰🥰 shout out to Melissa and the team for the wonderful service and tasty food!

Best meal we have had in the metro centre in a long time. Will definitely be back.

We love this restaurant and regularly go here for an evening meal when visiting the metro centre. All of the staff are friendly and efficient. Courtney served us on this occasion and she was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. She is and would be an asset to this and any other business. The food and wine were delicious and served in a timely manner.

Gabriella was an excellent host and looked after all of us incredibly well! She was super attentive to our toddler too which were super grateful for! We're here regularly and will continue to be so with the excellent service we receive!

Great service and food, very friendly and attentive waitress Charlie 10/10

Fantastic food, cooked well & tasted great. Exceptional service from the team, especially Melissa. Also another team member who I unfortunately can’t remember her name but she was also excellent.

Great food, friendly staff, quick service, great for families. Recommend the fiery pizza, eyna dessert.
