Ask Italian Stratford-upon-Avon in Stratford-on-Avon

Tried the new salad.... It was really tasty and would recommend.

A pleasant place to rest and very friendly staff. Thanks for the free samples btw,

Terrible food, oven baked dishes were served cold, it felt like they were warmed up in the microwave before serving, staff would not even ask if we like it.Not recommended!

Dark and dingy, poor food with undercooked pasta and bland sauces... You don't expect much from a chain but this was really bottom of the barrel. We scared the staff coming in to the place it was so dead...

Lovely staff and food! But very quiet this lunchtime so difficult to say re atmosphere!

Great service and friendly staff . I will be going again. Thank you

Visited with family, Adrienn gave a fantastic advice on allergies and acommodated all our requests. Great customer service.

Amazing service, would definitely recommend and will be back.

Great staff, friendly efficient service, lovely food, well presented, with the chef allowing us to slightly change the menu, [not adding chilli to the pasta], clean and well presented place.

We had a really lovely evening at the restaurant, Adrienn who served us was so friendly and helpful . The food was delicious and we couldn’t fault it at all . They were all so helpful and accommodating and we had such an enjoyable night. Thank you so much for a fantastic meal.

We had a fantastic night back in early August at Ask Italian Stratford Upon Avon. The manager Tony served us all night. He had a great sense of humour. The food was absolutely delicious (thank you Chef). We will be back for more 😍

Adrienn looked after me so well! She was very welcoming and sat me in a cosy seat. She offered me the homemade lemonade which was perfect after my trip to the National Trust Charlecote Park. I felt safe about my nut allergy as she gave me the dietary allergy book to refer to. The pizza was yummy, thanks chef! The restaurant and toilet were nice and clean too.

Nice friendly team, all the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and served pipping hot. Clean and tidy restaurant

Food ok. Service slow - hence didn't bother with desserts. Nice interior but lunch time mainly families not really great for romantic dates.

Wasn't to busy so service was quick. What stood out was the allergy menu and manager who sorted everything 👌

Always a joy to dine at Ask in Stratford-upon-Avon! The staff are genuinely welcoming and right on point with their service. Food and drink are consistently well prepared and delicious. We also love our Ask perks and feel totally spoilt every time we visit! Thank you for being great at what you do!

Very nice , friendly staff. Most importantly the allergy awareness from staff and manager stood out for me.

The food was good but service was very slow. Our grandchildren were very restless having to wait so long. The meal took over 2 hours.

I had an amazing experience at Ask Italian - Stratford on 22nd August 2024! Tony, one of the staff members, was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients and full of flavour. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service. Thanks, Tony, for making our visit so memorable!

The staff were friendly, polite and helpful from arrival to us leaving the restaurant. The service was quick and the food was delicious, all 3 courses! We will definitely be returning!

Great staff, very attentive. Food was delicious , thank you

Food amazing, friendly polite staff, fantastic experience

Great food Great service in a nice location

Lovely restaurant with friendly helpful staff

Attentive, cheerful service. Fresh, well presented food. Everywhere was spotless. Will definitely be back.

Tony and Grace were absolutely incredible, thank you for wonderful service!

Spaghetti bolonaise tasted awful. It was greasy, with no taste. I couldn't eat it. Bothered toilet are upstairs!

Very attentive, looked after my daughters dietary needs, just a lovely lunch experience

I booked a table for my partner and myself for tuesday evening at 19:30 hrs, only to find on arrival that the table had been given to other people! After a weak apology by a member of staff, we left. We won't be going back again, either. No customer care, just greed for business.

Nice but short with the staff so we have to be seated indoors

It was the best meal I ever had at ask. Our waiter-Tony-was one of the nicest and kind people I had ever met. It was my daughter's birthday and he even put a candle in her ice cream and sang a warm hearted happy birthday to her. I will definitely come here again...thanks to ask and tony!

We had a lovely meal this evening. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would like to give extra credit to our server. Nothing was too much trouble and she did a really good job, making sure we had all we needed. A nice and friendly part of your team. She's a credit to the restaurant,

We have visited the restaurant with our quite anxious 8 year old grandson. He and ourselves were made to feel very welcome. We all loved the delicious food, the takeaway boxed brownie didn’t make it home as the grandson found it too irresistible. Was sorry to have not been able to pick up a bag as none left. All in all though a great experience 5*****

Lovely food and great service from a lovely lady who went over and above to help. I highly recommend the summer set menu and I particularly enjoyed the Beef Brisket Pappardelle - lovely choice of dessert too

We like it here, the atmosphere is great, even when it's quiet. Food is good but not amazing. The mozzarella and tomato side dish really needs better quality tomatoes! Really friendly service.

Restaurant not busy so only a 4 for atmosphere but great food and staff, we'll be back.

A somewhat disappointing experience... We ended up with dishes that we had not ordered... Service needs to be reviewed

Very friendly, good service but a little expensive all the same

We had lunch at the restaurant in Bell Court in Stratford upon Avon with our grandsons on Monday. The food was delicious, and it was great value for money. Our table service was excellent, and we loved the little glass of raspberry lemonade we were given as a free treat as soon as we sat down. We’ll definitely be going back.

A great place to stop for a meal. So much choice and the house lemonade is amazing!

Service was fantastic,will our server was fantastic and made us feel comfortable the whole time 100% will return.

We only popped in for a quick meal after a day out in Stratford with an 11 year old but we were very impressed. It is a lovely restaurant, the food was brought out quickly and was fantastic. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Really child friendly as well. Would definitely use this place again and recommend it.

1st time visiting Ask Italian, it was for my birthday, the food was amazing and came out quickly and hot, we 1st had Adrienne who took our drink order, we found her to be rude and abrupt, luckily she didn’t serve us again, we then had Gracie who was absolutely lovely and very friendly and helpful, she is a credit to your restaurant, we will definitely be back

We arrived about 6.50pm without a booking and were told that,if we had not booked, there were no free tables. We walked outside and I went on the website and quite easily booked a table for 5 minutes later, we walked back in and were greeted by the same waitress and I told her we had now booked, we were then seated. Seemed strange. Other than that the food was lovely

Absolutely delicious meal. Wonderful friendly staff

Warning-tip culture venue.. Our group of four couples recently dined at Ask Italian in Bell Court, Stratford-upon-Avon, and had a generally delightful evening. The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot for our small gathering. The food was good, service was excellent throughout the meal. Our server was attentive, friendly, and managed our small group with ease. Drinks were refilled promptly, and our courses were timed perfectly. The staff’s professionalism and warmth truly enhanced our dining experience. However, one aspect did leave us all somewhat annoyed. The automatic addition of a service charge to our bill felt presumptuous. This was only seen by us allafter the meal, and after we paid. We discussed this after leaving and our views we unanimous. While we understand that tipping is a part of dining culture, it would have been more respectful to allow us to decide the amount based on the service we received. Each couple added extra to the total amount on each tab, making it a double tip all around. Being a group, it is understandable to have a service charge, but not to highlight it on the bill. Not one of us saw the automatic 10% tip, and this is why we gave EXTRA to the waiter, who decided to keep quiet.. Ask Italian provides excellent food and great service in a lovely setting, making it ideal for group gatherings. Nevertheless, the management should reconsider their approach to tipping, allowing guests to show their gratitude in their own way and highlighting the added tip on the bill as well as educating the staff to be open about what was added to the bill innthe first place. I hope the staff enjoyed their 15 - 20% tip....yes this is why you get a three star not a 5. FOR THIS REASON, NON OF THESE COUPLES WILL RETURN TO THIS VENUE.

Fab food - a very nice night thank you

£16.50 is far too much for a chicken escalope with a handful of salad, in my opinion. However, the vibe was pleasant and the staff were swift and friendly.

Not overly impressed. The service wasn't overly bad, but wasn't overly good. My grandson had a tomato dip which he told me was "fizzy". Sure enough, I tried it and it was. Clearly it was well past it's best, but they did replace it immediately. My wife ordered a caesar salad and unfortunately the chicken was going off. She asked me to try it to be sure, and whilst it wasn't rotten, the smell and taste was not that of fresh chicken. Again, it was replaced quickly enough but with the two different dishes causing concern about preparation and storage, I wouldn't eat there again. There was no offer of a reduction of any sort, which I would have at least expected, just as a courtesy. If it had just been the one thing, then it happens, but two instances of different foods being off has to be more than a coincidence in my view.

Jaden was an excellent server and took great care to make sure we had what we needed. He was also very attentive to my food allergies

Go to pizza /Italian when I go to Stratford..food, nice staff.

Great Service by Tony. Food was amazing, we could chat. 12/10

Absolutely amazing experience!!

My food would have been better if it had been served hot, but it wasn't as good as my visit last year.

Very impressed! Fantastic service and fantastic food. We were served by Rowan who was professional, polite and genuinely friendly.

We were very impressed with the service as soon as we walked in. Rowan was outstanding. The atmosphere, setting and food were all superb. All in all, an excellent experience and would definitely return!

Very good pizza, and fast and friendly service. Cocktails are actually pretty cheap too.

Delicious food & excellent service from Bex

Oh, this is a little gem. Wonderful food and service. I had spaghetti vongole. And a mocktail which was a little sweet. My friend had pasta with a creamy sauce. They also had homemade lemonade, a little weak but still a good drink. And the service was excellent. Well worth a visit, and great decor.

was in the area and has tesco vouchers. never had a poor visit to an Ask before so why not? firstly, there was remnants of the sauce from previous diners on the table and also some food on the long seating and nearby floor. very easy to spot but had been missed somehow. starters - i had cheese fondue which was ok but it was cold in the middle. i stirred it around a bit and it was......ok and king prawns on ciabatta which was enjoyed. mains - carbonara was enjoyed. i had calzone. after my cold in places starter, i was hoping for an improvement. the calzone was burnt. not all over but it did spoil the taste of nearly half of the underside. had soft drinks. so one person was happy and one wasn't. two dishes not up to standard. the uncleanliness was slightly off putting. and the staff were more bothered about their phones than anything else. maybe it was a bad day. many other reviews are good

Excellent food. Best pizza iv had in years.

Loved the food, outstanding service, superb manager

So on three occasions now I have walked in without a booking, hoping I could just walk in (this has typically been midweek and lunchtime hours so not at all busy!) only to be told they are fully booked (one time the place didn’t even have one table in use) and that they’d have a table in an hour or two. Never bothered to go back. If you don’t want walk ins then you should say so! I’d understand if I was turning up on a Friday or Saturday night but Tuesday (out of holiday time) at like 12:30 isn’t busy! To add to this staff are so rude and roll their eyes at you when they see you waiting.

Good servise , friendly stuff Food just perfect 😁👍👍

Tonight me and 4 of my firends dined in at ASK to celebrate a birthday. Entering the restaurant a very comfortable and welcoming environment with a very aesthetically pleasing dining area. Suprisingly it was quite quiet for a Friday night but usually it would be alot busier, but it was still a pleasant atmosphere. The person serving us although I didn't catch their name was very friendly. Although it took a while to order our drinks, the overall service was very efficient afterwards. We ordered a selection of 3 starters to share including the Calamari which I highly recommend. For our mains we had calzone, and other pasta type dishes which where all good quality and delicious. Overall I would love to come back to ASK Italian in Stratford for another wonderful evening out.

Amazing food, authentic Italian food. Good atmosphere and I would recommend to anyone in the area. The staff are amazing and friendly!

Our favourite restaurant in Stratford! Enjoyed delicious food and great service. The staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming.

Great food and drink. Nice treat before going to the nearby cinema.

Lovely food as always. Staff were really good. Attentive and friendly

Lovely meal for my Birthday the lady in the kitchen did well as she was on her own

Nice gluten free options and more

Had an absolutely amazing vegan pizza!

The staff was very helpful and kind. It was the first time we have been there and Will definitely recommend it and will be back soon. Good service..

Had a great experience here on Wednesday night meeting up with an old friend good food and atmosphere

Visited Ask Italian in Stratford upon Avon for our wedding anniversary meal. We experienced exceptional customer service from Nicole who went above and beyond to make our evening special. The food was fantastic too!!

Staff really friendly and welcoming. Food was great there's something for everyone on the menu they even adjusted dishes for us adding extra chillies and garlic.

Nice Italian restaurant chain. Been about 3 times since it opened at Bell Court in Stratford-upon-Avon. Mostly sat on the ground floor. The toilets upstairs, where I saw more seating.

Love it in there . Visiting at least once a month with my little daughter and her friend . Amazing food and good service

The whole service was amazing and brilliant and the drinks and the food was amazing too all brought out on time I would definitely recommend going to ask Italian five stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my favorite Italian pizza in England. Super delicious! You just have to try it. My whole family enjoyed it! We wish there was one where we live!

Ask has the most delicious food! I wish we had one in the states. The pizza was amazing, and so was the service!

Delicious food and friendly service. Thank you.

Rowan was an absolute legend😎 fast stuff good food

A birthday meal made special with lovely customer service!

The price corresponds to the service.

Lovely meal, sea food pasta, cheesy garlic bread on the side and a bottle of Morretti... Too full to try the desserts. Waiting staff were chatty and friendly.

Slow service and very disappointing food. The chicken was deep fried, tough, dry and fatty. The potatoes were oily and overcooked, not nice fresh new potatoes. The pasta was bland and beef flavourless. Really disappointing. To top it off we had to wait so long for my sons pudding I gave up and asked for it in a takeaway container as he just got far too tired to wait any longer.

Our waiter Jakub was amazing, super fast and lovely! The little tasters of the raspberry lemonade was a lovely touch to welcome you to the restaurant. My risotto however was slightly undercooked but not too bad! The pizza was lovely and perfectly done! All in all, a good visit

We had a pre-theatre dinner at ask in Stratford upon Avon, it was our first time eating at an ask restaurant, we both really enjoyed the whole experience the waiter was very attractive and helpful the food was excellent and the decor of the restaurant was very nice we go to the RSC regularly and we will be eat at ask from now on.

When there earlier today I did enjoy my food but didn’t get everything I ordered I asked about it a few times and they. Said it will be a couple of minutes I never actually received all my food I ordered because I already ate the food I got and there was no point in getting the rest because it should of come with my order I get that it may of been a bit busy but would of been nice to actually get all my food

Food was ok shocking service no one Acknowledge us when we tried to ask for where a part of our food was we received one chips half way through our meal and was nearly finished afterwards they still didn’t bring the other one even when we had finished. no one had even came over to say anything or apologised shocking service staff just stood around doing nothing and leaving one person to do it all won’t be coming to Stratford ask Italian again , also manager was aburt and rude. perfer the Worcester one staff are polite and welcoming. And u except better service for the price you pay !!!

Went here for Valentine’s Day service was terrible pre ordered set menu. Meals were wrong pudding was burnt after waiting an hour to get them. The table next to us walked out due to waiting so long for food. Loads of staff working but no one really doing much. Won’t be going anytime soon.

Very good Italian food, we have eaten pasta, it was spectacular. Highly recommended

Delicious meal. Excellent service at the Stratford-upon-Avon branch.

Dinner out with family, great atmosphere, very family friendly, quickly sat, great service and delicious food! Perfect for family gatherings, children and evenings out!

Good food friendly staff. Lovely experience

We didn't book, just walked in off the street. Staff very friendly, initially we were advised that food could take 1/2 hour to be ready due to being busy, but in the event it was ready in ten minutes. Superb Pollo Milanese and chips x 2, sadly no room left for pudding.

Made a lunch with my granddaughter so delightful and memorable - thank you

Was on a trip with my partner and was disappointed with the cold, slow and inconstant service. Luckily the supervisor was empathetic

First time eating at Ask Italian, really enjoyed it. Friendly welcome, lovely atmosphere, food was hot and delicious. The service was excellent. They have a really good team working there, the kitchen and front of house, all making it a visit to recommend.
