ASK Italian (Paddington) in City of London, Westminster

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 :-)

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

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.

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!

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!

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

Great food and great service especially from Klaudia :)

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

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.

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

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

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

Ayman is amazing service. Food and drinks fantastic!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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 :)

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

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

Gran ambiente, deliciosa comida y excelente servicio! La pasta estaba perfectamente cocinada, y el postre fue inolvidable. Un lugar de visita obligada para una fantástica experiencia gastronómica! Grita a Adnan, el mejor servicio de la historia.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Amazing food and lovely staff!!!

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.

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

Server Adnan very helpful and super nice Warm restaurant

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!!!😍😍

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

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

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.

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.

The hotel gave me a excellent recomendation

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

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

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
