ASK Italian (Paddington) in City of London, Westminster

Absolutely brilliant, Ayman gave service, we’re incredibly grateful for such a lovely experience :)

A very good choice to eat in Paddington. The food was great, the desert as well. And the service was amazing, especially Laci, the waiter, such a great guy.

The athmosphere and the service was very good, especially the waiter Laci, he was our favorite, he made our night really special. The food was quite good and the dessert was so amazing.

Victoria was lovely and helpful, the atmosphere was calm and quiet, I didn’t feel rushed and I could enjoy my food and company in peace. The brownie was very nice but needed a little more ice cream

Great atmosphere and excellent food.

Went out for a nice dinner with the girls and we were greeted with the loveliest service. The food came very quickly and was delicious. We got some drinks on the house which was really nice. Perfect place for a fun night out! Thank you so much Laszlo for making sure we had a good night!

We are from Belgium and had a nice meal. As a pattissirr, I think the lemon cake is excellent and the service was super sweet by Fahid.

Lovely food overall, perhaps keep the tomatoes at room temperature.for bruschetta and a tad more garlic and herbs. Very attentive,friendly staff

Thank you to Victoria who turned our experience into a good one after our order came wrong and we waited even longer for the correct food. However Victoria’s management of the situation and her willingness to help really made us happy despite the wait.

The food was very good, and the people who worked there were nice. It was a very cozy place. Jahid was our waiter, and he was very friendly.

Great food and service, such a beautiful place. Jahid was our server, he was so nice and checked up on us regularly.

Very good address, the waiters were attentive, Murshed served us with enthusiasm (I recommend asking for parmesan on the pasta, first time someone has done that to me in a restaurant, very funny). The food is good, I recommend.

The food was amazing, the service was so good and Aymen was so lovely, couldn’t do enough for you! 100% recommend

Exceptional children’s menu! Lots of choice. Reasonable price and very pleasant service.

Such a fun place for our stay in London! We came three times and Adna, our waiter, was so friendly and helpful each time!

The experience was great! Out server, Adna was amazing!

Adnan was wonderful! My friend and I were in a rush to grab a quick a meal, he was very nice and speedy and friendly. Would definitely recommend and we will be back :)

Adnan was so helpful with my allergies and we reviewed everything to make sure I would be ok! Very grateful for that! Good was delicious and will definitely be back!

Ayman is the best! And the food incredible

Vittoria was excellent today, brilliant service and very friendly, thank you very much!

Today I was served by Laszlo who provided an excellent experience for me and my friends. He made sure that we were all comfortable and that we enjoyed our food.

Very nice food and excellent service, I would highly recommend it if you are staying in the area

We had dessert but we didn't like it

Great experience with great service! Aymen really made our night out phenomenal!

Friendly service from our waiter ,Murshed and great food .Lots of space and a relaxing atmosphere .🙂

laszlo was amazing great customer service and dealt with our comments amazingly!

It’s one of the worst branches ever. The quality was so low and the pasta taste like nothing and the chicken wasn’t marinated at all it tasted awful I dont recommend them at all The pizza was also not up to the standard don’t let the face fool you the taste was beyond awful

The service is amazing & the food is top! Big thanks to Adnan for taking care of us!

Amazing restaurant! Delicious food, incredible service. Regular visitor and always an amazing experience- special thanks to Adnan for always being so attentive and welcoming!

Very good, there are pasta dishes starting at 4.5 pounds! The food is good, the drinks too... Excellent risotto, order the lemon dessert! Very good

Lovely, friendly welcoming restaurant. Only two minutes walk from Paddington Station; away from the hustle and bustle. Quick service, nice food, accept tesco vouchers, definitely recommend.

Good restaurant. Good service from Aymen and Flamur.

We enjoyed our dinner here. victtoria was really helpfull and nice to us. we love the italian ambiente.

Very good service (Aymen and Besim) very good restaurant! Recommended!

Amazing food with lovely and friendly staff. Our waiter was Aymen and he was provided fantastic service and was very nice to talk to. Thank you so much!

The food was absolutely amazing, and Aymen was an excellent server! Will definitely be back

Incredible service, me and my partner loved Victoria and the rest of the staff. Definitely recommend

Very good Italian cuisine, great service and a lot of space inside. We also had Polish service. I heartily recommend it

Very happy with our dinner in this Italian restaurant. We were welcomed upon our arrival and our server, Murshed, was patient and very kind to our French accent. The dishes were excellent. The place is very pretty.

Quiet and welcoming place and not to mention the wonderful food, the warm rosemary bread was really good.😋

Exceptional Dining Experience at ASK Italian – A Special Thanks to Manager Victoria During my recent visit to ASK Italian on Spring Street in Paddington, London, I was thoroughly impressed by both the delightful cuisine and the outstanding service. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed, setting the stage for an enjoyable and memorable dining experience. The restaurant itself exudes a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, with beautifully designed interiors that transport you straight to Italy. The menu offers a fantastic selection of Italian classics, from fresh pasta dishes to authentic stone-baked pizzas. However, what truly made this experience exceptional was the outstanding service, particularly from the manager, Victoria. From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made me feel valued as a guest. She took the time to check in on every table, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and satisfied with their meals. Victoria's knowledge of the menu was impressive—she provided excellent recommendations and was happy to accommodate special requests. What stood out the most was her attention to detail and personal touch. She engaged in friendly conversation, making guests feel welcome and appreciated. Even during busy moments, she managed the restaurant with professionalism, efficiency, and a smile, creating a wonderful and unforgettable dining experience. It is rare to find someone as dedicated and passionate about customer service as Victoria, and she is truly an asset to ASK Italian. Her warmth and professionalism turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience, and I will certainly be returning because of the wonderful hospitality she provided. For anyone looking for delicious Italian food paired with exceptional service in Paddington, I highly recommend ASK Italian on Spring Street. And if you have the pleasure of meeting Victoria, know that you are in the best hands. Grazie mille, Victoria, for making my visit so special!

Very good service with very good food ! Adnan was very nice with us Go to this restaurant if you come to London !

Don't ask for bread after you've received your meal served, because precisely at 10 pm, they will tell you "were closed." I asked at 10:03 pm. They simply refused to serve bread. Wine? Sure, "we're open." I never realized how complex it was to gett bread from the kitchen... or to treat customers well. Now I know. I won't be coming back.

So lovely dinner! The food was so good! And our waiter Adnan is so friendly and nice ❤️ And yes! The live singer was so good and talented!!!😍😍

Server Adnan very helpful and super nice Warm restaurant

Amazing food and lovely staff!!!

Very good!!!!! the food is really good and the size is excellent

A group of us went for a meal here just before Christmas. I must confess up until this point I was not the biggest fan of Italian food. The food, drinks and service were nothing short of amazing. I couldn't stop talking about the dessert ( toffee popcorn) I ordered for days it was that good. Thank you guys and hope to come back and order some more great food when we visit London again.

The biscoff cheesecake was so good it should be illegal!!!

This evening we returned to eat at this restaurant again and we confirm what was said about yesterday evening. Even this evening we found staff, different from last evening, but always extremely kind and welcoming. This evening again due to my daughter's celiac disease, we were looked after by the attentive and thoughtful manager Klaudia, welcomed with enthusiasm by Ayman who recognized us and made us sit with great kindness and by Gabby who with her kind ways made us feel at home. We will recommend it to all friends who come to London, hoping to return too, both for the food and the staff. We thank again the manager who looked after us yesterday, Adam and Karen, for the attention paid to us. We thank you again for everything Rosaria and Noemi

After a long search for restaurants that had gluten free alternatives, we found Ask, and it was a wonderful discovery. Karen's welcome and the attention of the manager Apnad made everything perfect. They have a menu totally dedicated to gluten-free Italian cuisine, obviously we weren't expecting Neapolitan pizza, but we were really happy. My gluten-free pizza even had the option of vegan mozzarella, which isn't so common. We decided to go back tomorrow evening. Go there I recommend it. Thanks again to Karen (very kind and always smiling) and to Apnad.

Very nice food and great waiters! Special thanks to Jahid, Gabi and Klaudia. We'll certainly come back!

The hotel gave me a excellent recomendation

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. Thanks to Jahid for the great service.

Thank you to Karen and Laslo for a great evening at Ask Spring St earlier this month. Relaxed, friendly service and great food sensibly priced.

Tomé un calzone y sabía a nada y lo mismo con el pan de ajo. No es algo que recomendaría a nadie. D

Great food, super friendly staff and the warm atmosphere make this place a pleasure to visit!

The server AYMAN was fantastic with us. I recommend!

It was an amazing experience. As first time diners at this establishment we highly recommend it. A special thanks to our server Karen who was absolutely amazing and hospitable. Would definitely come again <3

We loved the food and the place, Ayman was super nice to us by serving the food.

Great welcome from the server and manager , quick service with quality food and relaxing atmosphere

Had a really nice dinner at ASK. Excellent service from our waitress Karen who made the experience even better!

Great service, amazing tasting food. Complementary water is given and the place is extremely well maintained. We were warmly welcomed and served passionately. I definitely recommend it for a lunch break or a cosy dinner night!

Making ice cream takes longer than making pizza and pasta.

If I could give Klaudia 6 stars I would. A+

If i can give klaudia a 6 star that will be good She treated us very good Good experience overall

I do not advise anyone to go to a very bad restaurant. They charged me 5 pounds in tips and the worker tells me this is because I put the food on a table for you and it is written on the bill that it is a tip for the worker and the last thing he said is that it is not your income, you paid it.

Came here on a Saturday lunch time and was promptly greeted and seated. It wasn’t busy with lots of seating available. You are offered a small shot of homemade lemonade on arrival which is very nice. The server was nice and the drinks were given very promptly with frozen ice glasses to ensure an ice cold beverage. The food was not much longer of a wait. I got the stromboli pizza which was very good, they give you a proper pizza cutter which is rare for a lot of places. The pizza was really nice, and what seems to be manager made sure everything was good and asked if we needed anything at all. Afterwards we were not rushed to leave, and the bill was promptly delivered which is a big plus as a lot of places recently it’s a chore to get the bill. Overall this restaurant is great for just outside of Paddington, the pricing for the food is reasonable and great tasting.

Thank you for this wonderful welcome. The meal was delicious and the waiter lazzlo was very kind and friendly.

Lovely and attentive service from our server Aymen

Food was great, cocktails and drinks too. Polite staff.

Incredibly delicious food , fine atmosphere, the service provided was exceptional and friendly by Klaudia . I’ll Definitely visiting again!

Sadly the restaurant was very cold inside. We enjoyed two very good main courses, but left without ordering desert and coffee due to the low temperature.

Ask Italian near Paddington Station is a gem! Friendly staff and personalized service (such a relief not having to order through an app). The food was delicious, portions were generous, and prices were reasonable. Definitely the best Italian spot in the Paddington area!

Brilliant team: Laszlo & Klaudia. Certainly for us to return, when here again- all the way from Cape Town!

Very pleasant lunch. Atmosphere lovely. Great staff Molly Cilla and Murat who made us very welcome. We had the antipasti which was excellent followed by prawn and crayfish pasta. Bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Highly recommend. January 2025 back after a bit of a break. We had great service from Lazlo who worked at a pace and had a friendly chat with all the diners. A great asset to Ask. It was cold as it is a barn of a place to heat. I do have great sympathy for the staff as imagine even colder when opened up. Nevertheless have given 5 stars throughout as food wine ambience all great.

I would like to give a 5 star feedback to Laszlo who served us, even though he was alone, my wife and I felt at home with his hosting, and the food, Oh my! Amazing just as we remembered! We would love to know if Ask Italian has any plans to come back to Watford, we miss you!! Thank you for the amazing lunch!

We had a great time Excellent food and service Lazslo looked after us and was great fun and made our family of 4 feel very welcome. Great time great value

Lovely food, even better service from Laszlo, would highly recommend!!

It was the first place we ate in London, we were struck by the location and that the offering was so fresh. We ordered: the macaroni with mushrooms that were really good and the sauce was tasty and I ordered a dish that I thought was an eggplant Milanese but it turned out to be a dish of “eggplant” ravioli and I put it in quotes because although it was good, the I didn't find the characteristic flavor of eggplant anywhere. Noteworthy: we had a couple of lattes, they were well made and warm. THE SURPRISE CAME WITH THE BILL: they charged us 5 pounds for tips that I later read that we could reject; but at first they already charged us... it seemed like a bit of an ugly gesture, but what I liked least was that they gave us a bad refund and I have the suspicion that it was on purpose seeing that we still didn't deal with the country's currency. I had to tell the waiter that he seemed embarrassed by the situation... but even so, after the 5 free tips he didn't give me back the full amount that corresponded to the bill, since if he had to give me back 1.50, he only He returned £1... leaving 0.50 more along the way... I honestly think that a country is more expensive to eat in, or that the bill is somewhat excessive, but if in the end you eat well and they serve you well, you are left with a good taste in my mouth, but feeling like they want to deceive me and take advantage… I don't like that and that's how I felt here. To top it all off, after two days they told us at our hotel that for staying here, they would give us 20% in this restaurant... something we couldn't take advantage of. I would not repeat the truth, there is a lot of gastronomic offer in London in general and also in the area. Anyway, this was our experience. I hope it helps you.

Everything was great, food, service and value . Great manager came and greeted us at door and made sure everything was great 👍

The food is great everytime It’s consistent and the taste is the same as just as yummy The staff are truly amazing So nice and pleasant It’s a lovely and also child friendly restaurant

The place is very beautiful, and the girl who served us was very polite. The food was both filling and relatively cheap. I recommend the chicken and pancetta pizza and the tagliatelle carbonara!

The team were very welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely Christmas lunch and would highly recommend.

Excellent service from the team for our Christmas meal! Lovely food and a great festive atmosphere.

First time at the ASK Italian in Paddington and I could not fault the service and food here. The manager made us feel very welcome and Laszlo our server was brilliant with a great sense of humour. All the dishes were delicious and freshly cooked, deserts were fantastic. Looking forward to visiting again.

We were very well looked after by Laszlo! Great service and food and drinks were lovely! Would definitely come back :)

Service was brilliant. Food was great. Guy on waiter service 16-17pm on Sunday 22nd December was incredible and even got my grumpy tired 4 year old laughing. Thank you.

Lasllo was really nice to us, he gave us a really good atrention and he also told us for some places to go visit and cheap

Klaudia and Lazlo provider great customer service. Food was great. Highly recommended

Excellent Italian food, good service including good allergy information, nice atmosphere

Good food, drinks and service with Murshed, thx

Lovely service from Laszio, Rion and a great team!

Just WOW ! 😊. The atmosphere !..Vibrant and sets the mood of Italy . Lasagna/olives//wine fabulous ! Great service !! Staff they worked so well as a TEAM you didnt see an individual apart from my exceptional waitress Victoria ! Thk u all 👍

Excellent salad and mint infusion (wow that sounds pretentious). Karen was impeccable. I hope I spelled that right.

Roomy place with a great atmosphere. Only negative thing is the ambience. It can get noisy. There is also a fan in the roof that makes a lot of sound. Food was served fast and the menu was very kid friendly. Good menu and great selection for the season.

Very tasty pasta at a good and affordable price. The waiters and the owner are all very nice and friendly.

We received a very friendly welcome, the service was courteous, quick and helpful. The food (pasta with shrimp & pappardelle with slow cooked beef) and the dessert (Chocolate Falls) were great. It was a bit noisy, but that's due to the guests and the restaurant can't help it. :) We would come back!

Very good spaghetti with tomato and Margherita: a valid alternative to the many ethnic restaurants. Very efficient and polite service. Decent desserts. Not cheap but it was a pleasant evening.

They have a good service and a nice athmosphere. The food is a bit plain, but it was ok. They have a really large menu with many vegetarian options and vegetarian substituions - for example I had a vegretarian carbonara with vegan bacon.
