ASK Italian - Taunton in Taunton Deane

This could have been 4 stars but the attention by the staff, the general atmosphere and the quality on the day was excellent. Really enjoyed my lasagne and my wife loved her sea bass. I had stuffed mushrooms first and they were first class. Ice cream to finish and all washed down with a Primitivo red wine. Happy customers! 5 stars.

Lovely greeting super friendly and welcoming. Ended up spilling my drink and they were very helpful and kind about it. Food was great

Jake was exceptional and extremely attentive to the large group. Definitely come back for the amazing food and atmosphere.

Birthday meal was a complete success the manager dave was an absolute legend not only because he rectified any issues with our meal but he also got involved in our night and had a laugh and a joke with us even to the point he brought the birthday cake and said "don't look it's supposed to be a surprise" me my partner and my family had a great experience the food wasn't 100% but the manager made up for it by giving us a discount and getting involved in the banter thanks again dave!

It was good for and waiter was very friendly and helpful

Lovely place, food was fab. A gentleman called Jake served our table and he was very Friendly and helpful! Highly recommend

We had a lovely warm welcome from our waitress Hannah who showed us to our table . Hannah offered her recommendations and we did order a cocktail she suggested which was lovely . Food came quickly and was good . The waiting staff were friendly and very good at making sure we were happy .

Great food and friendly service from Jake and Olivia. Lovely gluten free options.

Great service and delicious food - highly recommend! David was our wonderful server and made our visit extra enjoyable. Thank you for a lovely experience :)

Brilliant for a quick lunch, Jake was fantastic!

Usually we have a great experience. Sadly this last visit was terrible. The waitress really didn’t seem interested. She didn’t even manage a smile. We just felt like we were getting in the way of her chatting with the other waitresses. Service was very slow as she took ages to come over and left us waiting ages. The restaurant wasn’t even very busy, we got there at 5.15, but didn’t get out until nearly 7.30 as service was slow. Did notice a couple of other tables trying to catch other waitresses eyes and having to wait for them. We are always polite and friendly and understand waiting tables is a hard job. Generally we have lovely waiters and they are always welcoming and helpful. Also their new prawn pizza was very disappointing, only had a few prawns and was mainly red peppers. Otherwise food was good as usually.

Amazing place to eat, jake and dave are the friendliest most amazing servers you could have, would definitely recommend

Dave and jake great customer service. Food amazing . Cocktails to die for

Came in on Tuesday afternoon. Looked after by David & Jake. Wasn't busy but they were looking after every table like a team, the mood in the place was amazing. Highly recommend.

Jake was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond, finding my elderly father’s wallet and keeping it safe for when we returned to be able to pick it up was just amazing! He completely made our day!! Highly recommend.

amazing atmosphere and perfect food as always. my family and i have been coming here for years and have always enjoyed it - definitely our favourite restaurant to go to. however i will say that the service was quite poor on our most recent visit, two girls - i believe one was called olivia and i am not sure of the other girl’s name, spent more time talking than doing anything else. service was slow and my family felt they were being judged along with a couple other tables that were speaking about it. we will be back but am disappointed with the attitude and the service provided.

Lunch on family day out - fantastic meal, and great service from Jake and the team!

Lovely service very friendly, Jake was very happy to help.

The gents who were on looked after us all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back again.

What a fantastic place to eat with excellent service, We are regular visitors to Ask and the food never disappoints always early good, Staff friendly and great always helpful.

Great place to eat excellent service as normal

My favourite Italian restaurant by miles. The Taunton one is always fantastic.

Great food, great atmosphere and wonderful service from Nick was a lovely evening

Food was amazing and quick, drinks were spot on all together was a great evening and experience would go again

Food was amazing. Jake was so lovely, cheery and smily. Can't wait to come back.

How dreadful can you get, the restaurant was empty and totally devoid of any ambience. The food when it arrived was late and one main dish did not arrive until much later.. not good form!. We were advised that the main course after we had ordered and had asked the question did you have enough product for three of us. Only to find that we were disappointed as they had run out and indeed had run out the previous night and not replenished. We had yet again to choose something else which when arrived was the worst food I have ever tasted it was awful, bland and no care had been taken in the kitchen. It was an unmitigated disaster and my birthday treat as well. I have had a response from the restaurant this morning asking for a review and to be fair my response was just as blunt!. Will I or my friends be returning to any other Ask restaurant not in a million years it had no redeeming features...I even regret paying a tip..£10 on an £80 meal.

I used to like this restaurant quite a lot despite it being extremely expensive for what it is however over the last couple years my favourite items have been removed leaving very little just pasta and sauce options , the majority of all the pasta HAVE to have meat or vegetables or something in it , personally I just like pasta and sauce and before there were many options but now there are only 1 option and it’s the most boring. They removed the gnocchi aribatta And another option which I can’t quite remember but I have no faults of this restaurant other than this. The gnocchi was a good item so why was it removed after being on there for at least a year 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Great food and good service. Give a shout to Jake who has been amazing!

Couldn't finish the chips as they weren't cooked right through.

Jake was very friendly and helpful

Amazing food and great service from Jake

Excellent service and attentive staff. Thankyou Jake

Enthusiastic & attentive staff,good food🙂👍

there were supposed to be 2 dips with my order but only 1 in the bag

Jake smashed it, looked after us perfectly wasn’t waiting on anything.

Brillant food and service from Jake tonight!

We were served by Hannah. It was our first time eating in Ask Italian. We walked in late and unplanned, but were made to feel immediately very welcome. We could tell that they were starting to close but they gave us a great table and apologised for the couple of dishes that they wouldn’t be able to do. The waitress was so friendly and attentive and helped a lot by walking me through the menu and giving me great recommendations based on my likes when I wasn’t too sure what to order - it’s not often we eat Italian. Food came quickly and Hannah knew exactly when we needed something. The food was great but it was the service that will have us coming back! They went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend!

Superb atmosphere, Superb food, Superb service throughout from Jake and Hannah.

We wanted to leave a review because Jake was really good!

Very professional and polite. Very helpful. Excellent Food and top quality. Nick was very helpful, very polite and professional a credit to the company.

Wonderful food, portion sizes were perfect. Honestly don’t have a single complaint about the quality of the service at this restaurant! Thank you very much to Dave(?), couldn’t catch his name, amazing service and doing a wonderful justice to the company!

Niamh was very helpful and friendly with us and the children. The food was lovely and a relaxed atmosphere

Fantastic service by Jake & Gus. Calm and pleasant atmosphere. Fantastic food.

Food was great, tabitha monks service was immaculate.

Disappointing compared to previous visits. Low quality chicken. Saute potatoes were just new potatoes that had no crispness to them. The tagliatelle carbonara was like warm and lacked sauce. A shame for a restaurant I had used for years.

Dave was lovely, very good service, thank you very much!

Very good, Dave and Jake were great! Thank you very much

Jake was fantastic :-) new gm seems to breathe new life into the place

Food was very nice, are waiter Jake was sound 👌

Delicious food and excellent service! They are excellent at catering for allergies and dietary requirements too! (See below). Our waitress Naimh was so lovely, taking the time to talk to us and our baby to make us feel welcome. She even came outside to us to show us how to get in via a ramp because we had a pushchair.

Jake was awesome and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing atmosphere prompt service would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely meal out with my partner at Ask Italian Taunton, the service from both Jake and Ryan was professional and attentive, and I have left very full up!

A bit different than ask Italian Yeovil where we did enjoyed every meal we have had with Ask Italian Yeovil as i found the team is much more helpful and nice

very less quantity with high cost. and the food was not fresh at all.

Really enjoyed the visit. Food was great and service excellent. Just two girls running the show due to sickness and they were brilliant. Thank you Ella and Olivia

Our small group from church had a delightful evening together. The atmosphere was good, the food was good and the service exemplary , Well done to the team of ladies serving the tables and the guys cooking the food.

Service was shocking waited 25 mins for desserts to come out only 3 members of staff on. Waited 10 mins to pay the bill. The lobster and crab ravioli was cold. Normally ask in Taunton is good but Sunday was not a great experience.

Service was amazing , Thankyou for a good night

Great meal and nice service as always. Jake and Nick did a good job.

Lovely barley salad, highly recommend.

We came in over lunch, had a great time, good prices and really tasty food. David & Nick looked after us and we will certainly be back.

Brilliant service very professional we don’t get to eat out often so it was very nice to have top notch service

Hannah was absolutely fantastic- friendly, polite and extremely helpful

Lovely evening - food was great, full and varied menu. Desserts were gorgeous. Nice atmosphere and Charlotte was very informative, helpful and friendly.

Poor Hygeine - We had to ask for the table to be cleaned before we could use it Inaccurate billing - I was charged full price for a dish that was on special offer Good service Good food as always

Fab service from Kyle! Great food would definitely come again! Thanks for the tote bag☺️

Had a really great experience in store tonight, with great food and really great service across the board, great service from Kyle really friendly and made the evening very pleasant.

Amazing service from Kyle, really friendly and would come again :)

Really pleasant evening, Kyle was really friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back.

It was just what we needed, good food, refreshing lemonade, and a pleasant environment.

Come for lunch this afternoon with my niece, had a beautiful lunch with amazing service, the young lady was very lovely and helpful had even gone to help with scissors when asked (to cut bracelets) the two gentlemen that where also in extremely friendly. Will definitely be in again. Niece loved the teddy shaped pizza. Thank you nick for finding something for our beads as we left! Overall very good service, beautiful and cool establishment, our pizzas 👌

Great food and service, Jake was fab! Will definitely be back!

Jake was amazing! Food was delicious and atmosphere was vibrant. Will definitely come back!!!

Me and my girlfriend dined here this evening and could not fault anything. The atmosphere was perfect for a stunning meal with the other half and made even more special by the service we receieved. We got served by Dave and we have never felt so welcomed. He and the other waiter (jake i believe) were constantly chatting with us and making sure we had the best experience. Credit to the team. Dave reccomended the calzone for myself and wow. Portion sizes were insane and tasted even better. Will defiently be back.

Very nice restaurant with nice staff

First visit, good standards all round.

Excellent service and food. recommend

My friend and I met for lunch today. We both ordered the Sea bass, no starters. We were served quickly but then had to wait for a long time for our food, the restaurant was very quiet so we thought it was strange that we had to wait for so long. We spoke to the waitress about the long delay, she came back and said it would be 3 more minutes. We waited for more than 3 minutes, I think our order had been forgotten. Our food arrived, I have had this dish before and it wasn't as nice as usual and there were no mushrooms, I felt it had been rushed.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Jake was a fantastic host/server

Bloody brilliant and lovely food. Loved how the chef came to see us as there was a Slight delay. Jake was amazing.

First time we have been to this Ask Italian in Taunton; all the staff are friendly, smiling and appear happy; menu selection is to a good standard; presentation of food is really good; don't feel rushed; good drinks selection; clean environment; good atmosphere; service is great. Really pleased with this visit, thank you to the chef he is amazing and Jake our server was amazing. I highly recommend a visit. Thank you, we will be back.

Jake was our waiter and he was good

Food is amazing ! Jake was great too

Came in for a leaving celebration, and had a wonderful experience. We came a few months ago where we had the exact same experience! The team are wonderful, and you will always love a lovely dinner! Special thanks to Hannah who was lovely.

Delicious food, friendly service - music a little loud, but maybe we’re getting older!!

Us as a family come in here regularly and have done since we moved to Taunton. We never had a bad experience here. Today out server was Nick and as usual we had great food and drinks and enjoyed time spent.

We come regularly, using our clubcard vouchers. Today Nick was our server and has given a exceptional service. This has been and will continue to be our place of choice Taunton.

Nick was great, very knowledgeable with regards to the menu and advising the youngest on her choice of meal. As usual the food was perfect

Me and all my family come to ask itlalian quote often for a lovely atmosphere, aswell as some fantastic food. Tonight our waiter was Nick, and he was quite exceptional in terms of service aswell as some good conversation. Truly a 10/10, experience and i recommend to atleast try something new. Plus, Tesco Clubcard Vouchers can save a fair bit of money so if you have points spare, its a recommendation from me 👍👍

Very poor customer service, very slow to serve and clear plates Workers spent their time chatting at the front of the restaurant leaving our finished plates sat in front of us for 20 minutes We would have ordered pudding but the service was so slow we decided not too. The restaurant was not busy either

Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere.

Amazing food , Jake was very professional and looked after us

The service was really good and the presentation was perfect as it was online They have cool artwork and the staff are extremely good They Also Deliver On Uber Eats And DILIVEROO
