We had a Frutti di mare and a Stromboli pizza and these were delicious! The place is nice and the service is outstanding, Holly was brilliant! I highly recommend the Biscott cheesecake as dessert. We will definitely come back.

We entered the restaurant, me, my wife and two children, and were kept waiting an absolute age to be greeted and then seated (EVERYONE who entered throughout are visit also looked to experience this with several groups giving up and leaving there and then - which would of been the best choice), we sat unattended for absolutely ages until I managed to get a server's attention, we placed our order and then even more waiting, we entered the premises at 15:00 and didn't even get our drinks until 15:40. The service was insanely slow even though the restaurant seemed to be at less then half capacity, we where in there a total of 2 hours, nearing the end I had to chase up our children's desserts (ice cream), twice, and I had to go up to make payment before it arrived as I'd been in there so long I was actually getting claustrophobic and just wanted out to get some fresh air and get away. No apology or explanation for the shocking service, no one asked how the food was at any stage at all, no 'thank you' for our custom. The food wasn't bad hence not 1 star. I'd probably try it again in like 7/8 years when it may have changed dramatically. Shocking.

We went to Ask Italian to celebrate my sister's birthday. We ordered drinks to start. I was served a watered down aperol spritz that I took back and it was changed with no problem. We waited around 20 minutes for a bottle of wine that we ordered only to be told that staff could not remove the cork/ top of the bottle. It arrived around 10 minutes later. Starters came shortly after. Around 20 mins after the starters we were told that one of the ingredients for the calzone one of the party ordered was unavailable so they selected another main meal only to have the calzone served to them when the mains arrived. We pointed this out to the waitress and she apologised and said the second choice (king prawn pizza) was on the way. Another one of the mains (king prawn linguine) was very unsatisfactory as it came with one king prawn! When we questioned the staff about this we were told it had been prepared according to head office guidelines!! Also when a second bottle of wine was ordered we asked for an extra glass and got an extra glass of wine served to us!! In addition to this when we got the bill we were charged for the calzone which we had been told was unavailable and the replacement meal. We really did expect better service and there was no excuse for so many errors on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The blame lies with management who left inexperienced staff in charge of the restaurant. We definitely won't be visiting this branch of Ask Italian again.

Deliveroo driver here. Really weird experience. I ask a worker who walked past me if they could go check on my order/if it’s ready. She was like “yeh” then just kept on cleaning tables for the next 5 minutes. She then walked past the kitchen, and ran off to clean more tables. I ask another girl and she goes straight to the kitchen and pulls out the food from the food heater closet. Weird

The waitress did say when we walked in there was a wait on food. But when we had to wait 40 mins for a drink and then 1 hour 15 mins for one starter and then even longer for four mains. Three other tables that walked in after us got their food first. When I chased our mains the waiter then told us, because we had ordered one starter, our mains had been put back even longer. We only said we would have a garlic bread as the mains was taking so long so we had something and drinks. Then when the mains come. One was missing and took almost 10 mins longer to arrive and my lasagne has four sheets off pasta and no meat and only I’d say 3 tables spoons off sauce in it so was very dry. They did take two mains off our bill and then extra discount. But for what we all have to pay for food and drinks in restaurants now days. This really isn’t acceptable sorry. My lasaagne was around £16.95 and no salad or garlic bread or fries on the side. A lot of money for a very basin lasagne…. I could get better quality in Asda or Tescos for £4. Ish. So they really need to step it up. Not the main staffs problem. We actually felt sorry for them and said don’t worry it’s not your fault. But it really isn’t worth £115 for four people…… oh and the chips are £5,95 and we got say 7 chips 🍟 f that and around 10 pieces of grated cheese….

Amazing service from all the waitresses, Imogen on the door, Madison at the table and Sian at the bar, all friendly and there when we needed them. They made the experience that much better. Food was all brilliant though the spicy calabria definitely needs the offered extra chilli oil and my friend said the vegan cheese on her pianta wasn't her favourite. It's what you would expect from a restaurant of this type and price. Have been here many times before for parties and will definitely come back, always recommend.

I went to ASK italian with a booking, at 6pm, for context we are three young female adults. We were served instantly with great service. Once the main was served we had it on our table for over an hour. We had servers see us and walk away when we had been obviously done for 40 minutes as we had not touched our plates or cutlery. Yet, we the table wasn’t cleared. Once a member of staff realised, they gave us the dessert menu and left, they did not clear the table. Nor did they return to collect our dessert order. We had another member of staff (there has been 3 by this point) ask if we had even been served our dessert. There was no communication. Loved the food though. Recently revisited this restaurant after being contacted and decided to give it a second go. Dare i say i loved it, the service was MUCH better, the waitress was extremely lovely and checked in on us throughout the meal. I am glad i gave this place a second go as i would have missed this great experience. Thankyou.

Service very slow, despite the restaurant appearing fairly empty. Staff however, were lovely. Only food criticism is of the Lasagne bites. Presumably off-cuts from the main course portion, they were just deep fried pasta, no cheese or sauce and therefore tasteless.

Unfortunately the processing of orders here does not, or is possible to not - work. While various tables put in their orders and were served, our order, after being one of the first tables to arrive, was forgotten. Only after reminding the staff, then waiting again an abnormally long tine, we're we finally served. I suspect it has more to do with the establishment being short staffed (one waitress and one bartender) than anything else. But one does have to wonder why/how a table sitting for an hour waiting to be served would not get the attention of said waitress and/or the bartender/manager? We got the summer 3 course option and we were there a total of 3 hours.

I explained how brilliant the person who dealt with us had been and he said she is like that with everybody. The food was excellent and the staff member "Holly" is a treasure they are lucky to have. (strangely enough we were booked into a different restaurant and the greeting we got there was so bad and when we told them we were unhappy we were asked to leave What a lucky accident I would recommend this restaurant to anybody

Terrible service, chaotic management. If you’re lucky and order something that’s actually available, food was ok. Arrive 15 mins for a booking. Lots of empty uncleared tables. Told there wasn’t a table available and to come back in 15 mins. Came back - same tables still uncleared from previous diners. Waited for them to be cleared. Waited 20 mins and to chase sponsored to take it order. 2 of the 4 things we ordered weren’t available. Later found one of them was charged for plus the replacement dish we ordered. Had to chase our main course after 50 mins waiting. One of the worst dining experiences anywhere. Friendly staff but clearly chaotic management and short staffed. Good quality restaurants nearby are only a couple of pounds per course more expensive.

Overall our meal was enjoyable, the house wine (pinot) was nice, squid starter was excellent, but the pasta was a real let down. I was looking forward to enjoying fresh pasta, but it didn't seem any different to the dried pasta I have at home. £65 for 2 of us - this doesnt seem good value. The rest of my dish (tomato, capers, olives) was fairly well balanced but I wont be going back, I'm determined to find somewhere that uses fresh pasta. Shame
