ASK Italian (Paddington) in City of London, Westminster

Tasty food, attentive service, place to enjoy Italian food and wine

Laszlo and Klaudia at Spring Street were brilliant hosts for our party of 24 on 8th May 2025

A wonderful atmosphere and wonderful people, I was served by the waiter Adnan who was very nice and attentive to every detail, I felt very good, like at home, this is the second time I've come here but I will definitely come back with great pleasure.

Wonderful atmosphere and even better food! We had Adane as our server and the service he gave was superb! Definitely stop by!

The food was delicious, and Fuad provided excellent service!

Our family lunch was amazing. Food is great and staff is very welcoming.

Great Pizza and very friendly service. We had a great lunch and look forward to eating there again.

Had an early lunch in this lovely place! Waiter was really helpful and made me feel really welcomed and comfortable, food was delicious, 100% recommended.

Always a great experience at ask Italian. The server was lovely.

Pizza was subpar, didn’t taste like much. Not worth the 13 quid unfortunately. But staff was super nice.

Delicious food with friendly staff with a cute green aesthetic 10/10 would recommend

Fuad was our server , very friendly , helpful with recommendations, over all very pleasant experience

Besim was amazing and his service was great. We had some beautiful starter plates and the portions were prefect. Great veggie options. Tiramisu with the baileys was the perfect finishing dessert. Thanks Besim!

Exceptional Service and Delicious Food at Ask Italian – Paddington Two weeks ago I had again a truly delightful dining experience at Ask Italian in Paddington, and I want to give special recognition to Klaudia and Victoria, the wonderful managers who made our visit exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel genuinely valued as guests. Klaudia and Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our experience was perfect — from seating arrangements to attentive service and thoughtful recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour — from the fresh, vibrant starters to the perfectly cooked pasta and indulgent desserts. You could really taste the quality ingredients and care put into each plate. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed yet elegant, making it an ideal setting for both casual meals and special occasions. What made the experience stand out, however, was the outstanding service. Klaudia and Victoria lead with professionalism, warmth, and grace, creating an environment where both the staff and the guests feel well looked after. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and it made our meal more memorable and absolutely wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend Ask Italian in Paddington — not just for the excellent food, but for the people who make it such a welcoming and enjoyable place. Thank you, Klaudia and Victoria, for a fantastic evening!

A decent food with good food and good vibe. Excellent service by Victoria.

Great atmosphere, relaxing, very enjoyable

The service was super nice and accommodating, especially Klaudia was super friendly, the food was first class, we would love to come back.

Found this gem of a place by my hotel. The service was lovely and our server Victoria was very attentive about an allergy in our party. Would recommend!

Kladuia is a charming and patient, remember my friend who’s gluten-free, she gave the special gluten-free dessert option to my friend when they order the dessert. Overall she did amazing job and friendly:)

Lovely place, the dishes are really good. I recommend 100%

Great food, great staff, recommend the luganica and nduja tagliatelle…chefs kiss

Super friendly staff and really good food. Gluten-free options were no issue at all. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in London!

My dinner at Ask Italian was amazing, thanks to our waiter, Fuad. He was attentive, welcoming, and gave great recommendations. The food was delicious, and his outstanding service made our experience even better. Highly recommend!

Waiter Fuad was very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Paid attention to detail when serving us and well mannered.

A very welcoming quiet spot, enjoyed my time here and the service was wonderful!

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food. Food arrived promptly and my server Fouad was very friendly and attentive

I recentley dined at Ask Italian , and my experience was made Exeptional by our waiter Fuad the moment we arrived ,Fuad was attentive welcoming and truly made us feel at home the food was absoulutely delicious

Staff is extremely friendly and very helpful! Pizza was delicious, little bit different than I expected but very tasty! Thank you for recommendation and I’m definitely coming back!

We are visiting London from Vancouver, Canada and we have been here three times in one week. The food, the service and the atmosphere bring us back.

I was there with my family, I waited two minutes for a table 👌🙂 the service was very nice, the food was fresh and tasty, I will definitely recommend this place and come back there when I'm in London again 🇬🇧

It's delicious. I ordered Pomodoro, but it felt a little watery. I think cream pasta would be more delicious.

A very pleasant place to visit if you want a fantastic meal for a reasonable price. The staff are brilliant very attentive and friendly. On top of all this it's very clean. Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great meal. Efficient staff friendly and helpful

Managed to get a table on a Thursday and the place was vibrant and brightly decorated with a warm atmosphere. Service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. Manager helped with discount and we left fed, refreshed and happy. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was amazing so fresh and was delicious. All staff were so friendly couldn't do enough to make is feel welcome and make our experience the best it could. Very attentive and chatting with kids. Highly recommend for all groups of ppl

Laszlo is a fantastic server, we had a great laugh with him! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely!

Amazing food and exceptional staff, so friendly, highly recommended 👌.

A very delightful food and service experience. A good mood and atmosphere that was an experience in itself, were very enchanted. The waiter/service (Adnan), was a great and very happy waiter. It gave the experience the last star. This is worth a visit. The Italian atmosphere was the icing on the cake. 🇮🇹🍝🍕👌

Laszlo was a fantastic waiter, funny and kind. Provided great info about what we wanted to order. Made us a very happy group! Food was amazing, I got the sausage - very nice! And raspberry lemonade delicious! Cherry and mascarpone dessert was delectable!

Beautiful place, modern design, delicious Italian food. Highly recommend

Upon entering the restaurant I was impressed to be asked if we have any food allergies. Good service, nice welcome and good recommendation received for choice of food and things to do in London Thanks to our server Adnan.

The food was really wow! My family are Italian but the pizza dough was really flavorful in a way that you rarely get in Italy. The service was a bit hectic and the place was generally a bit noisy, so I recommend a place on the edge, but really friendly and accommodating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It’s was very good service from murshed😊

Excellent service, the food was fabulous and the atmosphere was great. Food came out quickly and was tasty. A table of 13 and the order was all correct and came out warm and all at the same time. Highly recommend! Shout out to Laszlo who served us all with a smile and a laugh :-)

A large but friendly chain restaurant close to Paddington station. While it’s not really authentic Italian food, it serves pretty tasty Anglicised versions of the favourites - pizza, pasta and so on - for a reasonable price. You’re greeted with a complimentary shot of a low-alcohol lemon liqueur by the friendly and efficient staff. The tagliatelle I ordered was strangely curly but tasted fine, as did the king prawns which came with it. Calamari and bruschetta were good too. There are plenty of vegan options.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while in England, and honestly, it turned out to be a real gem. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the food? Just really well done, simple, fresh, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was Mehdi, our server. He was incredibly kind and attentive, but in that natural, unforced way that you don’t see often. You can tell he genuinely cares. If you end up here, I hope you get him, he quietly makes the whole experience feel special

Always enjoy a pizza here, particularly as I need to eat gluten free. Great location for access to Paddington station. Good service and bright and airy venue.

Great food and excellent service by Claudia. Keep it up. We will visit again.

Lovely meal in great atmosphere. The staff were very efficient and attentive, specially the guy from Hungary, he had a fantastic rapport with the customers which made the evening even more enjoyable. Well done to all at ASK. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

This restaurant is very kid friendly and the staff was amazing there was one lady klaudiah who was very polite and friendly she new my cousin was having a nose bleed straight away and offered ice to help I would definitely recommend if you want a child friendly restaurant with amazing food and has amazing vegan and vegetarian options

Lovely evening dinner with service unmatched.

We had an amazing dining experience last night! The food was fantastic, but the highlight was the outstanding service. Vittoria was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her recommendations were perfect, and she added such a lovely personal touch to the evening. Thank you, Vittoria – we’ll definitely be back!

We had the chance to have dinner here tonight. The food was good. We were really appreciated the service we received from Vittoria. She answered all questions we have with patience, her attitude was so friendly and kind. We want to thank her for that experience. Would recommend!

Jahid offered great service! Made the experience of dine in this evening!

Jahid has given an incredible service . Kind , professional and efficient . The restaurant is very lucky to have such amazing employee !

Tonight we had yummy lasagna and pasta ai frutti di mare. Victoria, our waitress, was very sweet and helpful. The location is spacious, cosy and clean. We will come back!

Food was delicious and Jahid our waiter was great

Lovely chain restaurant in the heart of London. Great outdoor seating on a sunny day!

Jahid was a very nice and welcoming server in an excellent mood

We were here two times within our stay in London. The food was delicious, the staff really friendly. We loved it.

Visiting London and walked in. It was fabulous! And our server, Murshed, did a great job!! Thank you so much. It was delicious!

Zahid was very attentive. Food was amazing.

Wonderful gluten free pizza and dessert

A little noisy, but otherwise great atmosphere. Murshed was our waiter and he was very attentive. Food was pretty quick, tasty, and a good size.

Delicious food. A peace of Italy in the Middle of London. Congratulations, well done!

It was a perfect dinner, delicious food, tasty drinks. Great service from Klaudia.

Great food and great service especially from Klaudia :)

great food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. murshed served us and we had a lovely hour

Murshed the waiter is excellent in his position 😍 Made us feel welcome and served as a professional with big heart.

Did a walk-in for my bday and it turned out to be an amazing experience. Ayman is such a sweet and kind person to serve our table. They sang happy birthday to me with their lovely brownie al forno. Will come back when I visit the UK again.

Very good, varied menu, good atmosphere and good team.

amazing pasta and dessert, murshed was brilliant

Restaurant was very cozy and food was tasty and service was great! Thank you Murshed!

Klaudia is a perfect attendant! Really nice please and an amazing italian food

Great gluten free options. Pizza was lovely, and the classic mint cocktail I had was great.

Lovely meal as always - Ayman was super attentive.

Food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating and gave excellent service.

Food was amazing, the staff were so lovely and welcoming & our server Ayman went above & beyond. Would recommend.

Ate here tonight with the family and I used to love coming here. Honestly the service tonight was very poor. Waiters did not check back on the food and did not even offer the kids dessert as part of the kids menu. I had to ask this before we left. I’m honestly so disappointed.

Ayman is amazing service. Food and drinks fantastic!

Recommended by staff at Hotel Mitre House and we are so thankful! Food was delicious and they took extra care with our food allergies. The squid was quite bland but everything else was terrific. Great atmosphere. Would love to go back.

Lovely meal and very helpful and friendly service from Jahid

Great night out!! Jahid was so friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely space inside with plenty of tables and a good size menu. Food just immaculate. Attentive and friendly staff, Jahid was a doll. Will be back!

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

Det dom serverar på ASK Italian är en skymf mot italiensk matkultur! Jag beställde en av mina favoriter, svamprisotto. Jag får kokt ris med svampsås. Det var oätligt! Min familj var heller inte nöjda men det gick att äta om man var riktigt hungrig. Gå någon annan stans!

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.

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

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.

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

Virkelig god italiensk hjemmelavet mad. Super service og glade smil! Fair pris. Ikke nærig med vinen. Virkelig godt sted. Lækker restaurant.
