ASK - Lichfield in Lichfield

They squeezed us 4 in for the Saturday night at short notice, and were great to us. Service impeccable. I was particularly impressed with the allergies knowledge. The food was terrific too.

Excellent food & service Calzone the best I've had Seafood linguine very good Service very friendly All round an enjoyable lunch & would return

Spent a lovely late lunch here wife Glenys, son Adam and granddaughter Martha. it was a lovely late summers day in the very lovely Lichfield. Our meal was excellent. Delivered warm and quickly with a smile from our server Hannah. Prices were reasonable and the venue lovely. What more can you ask for?

Wouldn't allow my 18 year old daughter to drink alcohol with her parents and grandparents even though her mother had a scan of her passport ID on their phone and we were eating dinner. They removed the drink from the table like we were naughty children. I felt very disrespected.

Haven't been at Ask since it underwent a refurb earlier this year. Friday night treat after a busy week at work. Food was ok but service was terribly slow despite the restaurant only being half full. Won't be rushing back which is a shame as it's a great location.

We stopped for a few drinks. Drinks were lovely. The staff were friendly and attentive. The outdoor beer garden area was pleasant and I imagine busy in the summer. The toilets were clean. The food looked lovely, but we did not eat

Better visit this time, compared with our previous one. Staff were friendly and service was good throughout. They were able to make reasonable amendments to our food choices, whereas other places often make you feel like an inconvenience if you request something done in a slightly different way. Garlic bread, cheese fondue and chips were very good. I am unhappy that the spinach & ricotta girasole seems to have been taken off the Ask menu - that was my favourite dish. It was my second time trying the mushroom ragu pappardelle main, and I am still not convinced unfortunately. The first time I tried this at Ask Italian in Birmingham, there were loads of rock-hard bits of herb (thyme) littered all through the dish, which spoilt it and made eating the food difficult. This time around, the sauce was spicy (I am assuming from far too much pepper) so that spoilt the dish for me as it wasn’t to my taste at all. A puny amount of mascarpone cheese on top as well, which wasn’t at all generous considering the price tag! Nice variety of puddings, although quite expensive. I was pleased we had a voucher, to make the cost of our meal more affordable.

There were a fair amount of vegan options and I chose a vegan pizza which was ok but overpriced. CARD ONLY! was announced upon payment. I argued the toss, and paid IN CASH! I won’t be going again.

Never going there again! Turned away for being 20 minutes late as there was no parking. Thank you Joe!

Indifferent management staff, and very slow service. Pizza was good, king prawn and crayfish tagliatelle pasta dish probably breached trade descriptions (one prawn and no evidence of anything else other than tomato sauce), salad was ok but underdressed. Needless to say we will not b returning.

My wife and I went to ASK Italian in Lichfield for my Birthday meal....Never again !! We opted for: 'Pollo Milanese' Breaded butterfly chicken breast, seasoned and roasted. Served with roasted new potatoes or chips, broccoli, and a creamy mushroom sauce. This consisted of a...

Usually enjoy Ask for dinner out but I had the asparagus carbonara tagliatelli which although very tasty the portion was cunningly disguised in a small bowl with a huge brim, thus making it look more substantial than it was and for over £14 was not...

Visited here to sample the gluten free choices. My daughter loves pasta and pizza and as a coeliac it's nice to be able to take her out for safe food every now and then. I'd heard about Ask offering GF choices via other coeliacs and...

We were a large party of different age groups and varied tastes - all accommodated. Excellent food and great service from Jorgia and the team. Glass of fizz was a nice touch to help us celebrate a big day. Recommended.

Booked for lunch on sunday, was great service and food was really nice! Recommend the pizzas and the biscoff cheesecake was amazinggg! Overall fabulous meal and experience would defo return

We came here on Sunday evening and the food and service were fantastic. We were both fairly indecisive with our choices and both the waitress (small and blonde) and the manager (tall, dark, bespectacled) were incredibly attentive and quick to recommend various drinks and dishes...

Great food but chips way too salty but will order without salt next visit . Service was great. Only thing missing was the complimentary lemonade . If you love Italian this is the place to come .

Always good and never had a bad experience whenever we have come, must book on a Friday or Saturday!

We had a wonderful meal at Ask on Christmas Eve. There were 16 of us, we had pre ordered and every meal came out with a name, so there was no confusion. The food was lovely and the staff were so good. I would like...

We booked Ask Lichfield for a family meal this evening. Firstly we should point out that the food when it arrived was very good but the complete service experience from booking the table, confirming the booking right through to being served at the table was...

My daughter and I called in without a reservation and were given a warm welcome. The lady showed us to a table and gave daughter a kids menu and colour pens. We were welcomed with complementary lemon drink. All food was fresh, good quality and...

I had booked for a my birthday meal. The only focus of the waitress was the age of my children both were over 18. She would only serve a drink with meal without ID and failed to even recognise that it was even my birthday....

Our Lichfield Garrick panto cast got together and had a meal at Ask, there was 22 of us, and the restaurant were so friendly and very helpful with us! The food was nice and they had many dietary alternatives for some people who could have...

Table for 8. Food came relatively quickly and was all very nice. Staff were nice and friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable. Only two issues spring to mind which were waiting ages for the bill. We were the last table there. You think they'd want...

We had a warm welcome, we had not booked. The menu was extensive and the food was served efficiently. All the courses were so tasty equal to dishes we have had in parts of Italy.

We had a voucher from Buy A Gift for a 3-course meal for two - this was given to us as a present. We were informed by Ask that the voucher only covered us up to the value of £41.90. This was disappointing as judging...

Walked through the door just after half six and our food was on the table at 6:48. I thought she'd got the wrong table it was that quick. Food obviously microwaved to get it that quick. Might as well go to Wetherspoons, the quality is...

A lovely meal, food value for money and excellent service in a relaxing environment. We went for a birthday meal with our daughters and all the food was of good quality, cooked in a timely manner and all brought out hot and fresh for 7...

Bad service and food is mediocre at best. Took an age to have order taken and receive drinks. Another long wait then ensued to receive garlic flatbread. Mains again took an awful long time and weren't great. Far better Italian restaurants just round the corner.

The pizza was good but the cleanliness of the customer bathrooms is appalling. I wonder what that means with regards to the general cleaning standards of the restaurant and it’s kitchen

The food was nice but they don't take cash. They said because it seems to be going that way..that's not what people want, cash should always be an option.

I visited here with my daughter and baby grandson on Friday 29 July for lunch. The weather was lovely so we sat outside. We had a drink while we looked at the menu, and were not hurried along to make our selection. We had a...

Ate outside. Tell tale signs from the start re our experience - tables that arrived later than ours were served first, didn’t bring a child menu - had to go inside to get one, however no crayons or pencils available to complete the puzzles. The...

Excellent service from Joe, fabulous food & drinks on their lovely patio - extensive menu, lots of options - will visit again!

An ad hoc choice when passing for an early evening al fresco meal. It was so good that we stayed longer, ate and drank more than intended! Exceptionally tasty food, friendly, cheerful service. Prices very good, especially for the wines by the glass. A perfect...

Popped in to this Restaurant midweek at 1500 and chose a table to sit by only to be very abruptly told we are not serving this area and was directed to a part which was already heavily occupied and not at all welcoming. All I...

Just come home after having dinner at ASK Lichfield. Really lovely experience. Serving staff were exceptional, food was gorgeous. So impressed. Vegan options were great and the meat dishes were fantastic too apparently! Really tasty comfort food. Atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. Will definitely be...

Oh Dear! Hoe can an almost empty restaurant get it sooo wrong???? We called up as we couldn't seem to book on line. We wanted a table at 18.30pm and were told they had some large groups coming in then and were busy so could...

Incredible food, we only stayed for a quick main and pudding but all was delicious. The service was top notch, I believe our server was called amber and she was so attentive and friendly. All the staff were smiley and nothing was too much for...

Went with a friend and was greeted by friendly staff! Our server Amber was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was very tasty, overall had a very enjoyable afternoon will be returning again!

I went for lunch with a friend and found the atmosphere nice and relaxed with helpful staff. The food arrived after a short wait and was good quality. The pasta was al dente and we really enjoyed the tiramisu which was superb.

Well where to start?! Sat outside as it was boiling hot inside. Folded garlic bread starter from the appetiser/nibbles section was of mammoth size so one each was far too much. More importantly, zero taste of garlic. Literally zilch. Bland and stodgy. Main course was...

Amber our waitress was not tentative at all, she was to busy leaning up the bar constantly chatting to bar staff on her phone. Everything seemed to be an effort for her, no check back on food was done, from politely asking for a spoon...

Managed to get a table without a booking. Friendly staff and great food. Fun, tasty cocktails too. Service was pleasant and swift. Great with kids too.

We went for my friend's birthday, we had chosen Ask as my friend is celiac and in the past have been amazing. Unfortunately they hardly had any choice for her and could do a garlic bread. When our meals arrived three of the dishes were...

We’ve been to Ask twice in the last few weeks. The staff are genuinely welcoming and friendly, as well as efficient. Great care taken over my gluten free requirements. My pasta dish was lovely. The chips were fresh and hot. Would definitely recommend

My husband and myself ate here on Monday late afternoon/early evening. We sat outside as the weather was fairly good. We were served by Alice who was friendly, efficient, polite and easy to chat with. We enjoyed a bottle of pale ale each, a bottle...

Brilliant food, lovely food!!! Only had a main course each but thoroughly enjoyed it. ALICE our waitress was brilliant. Made it a lovely night, she was so friendly and made our night

We were greeted in a friendly way at first but once having to ask for rearrangements on the menu to food allergies the waitress' attitude changed, being rather ignorant and rude in terms of the tone of voice. I kind of felt guilty for my...

I told the server that I have allergies to which the ‘allergies manager’ informed me that if the allergy wasn’t listed then they couldn’t guarantee that the food was safe for me to eat! No offer to check with the chef so I didn’t place...

Extremely disappointed that they do not make it clear when booking that they no longer take Tesco vouchers at Lichfield Ask. There were eight of us for a birthday celebration and we had saved up our Tesco vouchers so to be told on arrival they...

The member of staff at reception was offhand, despite the fact I had phoned in to let them know we were celebrating my sisters birthday My food, pasta frutti de marie was very disappointing. There was hardly any fish to a huge pile of pasta...

Wonderful food and great service from all the staff, they were very welcoming. Had a lovely meal and will definitely be returning soon.

We booked a table for 8 people for a family birthday get together, the table was ready & set on our arrival, the staff were excellent friendly & very attentive, the food was absolutely 1ST class from ordering to being served was excellent no excessive...

Our visit didn't start well when we discovered we couldn't use Tesco rewards at the Lichfield branch of Ask -our fault for not reading the small print. However this was a birthday celebration so we wanted to have a good time and put this to...

lovely experience, attentive service and all servers we had were friendly. food was hot and nice portion sizes, although i would have eaten more for the vegan "chicken" starter. good range for vegans for all courses and nice desert choices too. yes, pasta is an...

Food reasonable. Plates not warm enough so food went cold too quickly. Pizza excellent. Server Jorgia was wonderful...

Visited last night for a family meal, excellent food delivered promptly. The service was exemplary, we were served by Alice, who from the moment we arrived was so attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. It’s a pleasant to be served by someone who clearly...

The food was brilliant this evening, the service was fast and friendly I would highly recommend this establishment for a family meal.

Big thanks to Greg for being excellent. You have been so helpful and attentive, we've had a great meal and felt very well looked after. It's just a bit awkward that on the bill our tip is decided for us. We probably would have tipped...

Popped in mid afternoon was very quiet seated and ordered quickly the lady manager who served us was lovely, food came out fast and was lovely especially the Aranchini starter, definitely be back again soon lovely Italian food!

Amazing food and fast service. Great service from Archie, very attentive and pleasant, a credit to your team. We will be back! :)

Booked a table to use up some Tesco vouchers, received booking confirmation with no mention that vouchers would not be accepted but when we arrived they informed us they are not accepting any vouchers at the moment. Poor service as we should have been advised...

I’ve just literally got back from here…. I had garlic bread starter and prawn and crayfish main. Starter was fine, main was sooo disappointing two prawns in the dish one shelled on top… crayfish?? I searched and searched didn’t find any!! Pasta was thick and...

Great service and friendly customer service. Fantastic food with not too long waiting times! 5 star 100% recommend. The drinks were exceptional - i had the Strawberry Spritz - and the meal was fantastic

Was very disappointing. Clearly understaffed had starters and then had to wait at least nearly an hr for mains to arrive. Food was very bland and pasta was dried up. Wont be going there again in a hurry!

Myself and my family popped to Ask to have some drinks in the garden to kill half an hour. We were told it was bookings only yet the outdoor area was empty and we were only going to be half an hour? Confused me a...

We have been to Ask many many times and had lovely meals and memories. Sadly our most recent experience was memorable for a different reason. It was 6pm and a gorgeous warm and sunny Sunday evening in September. We asked if we could sit outside...

Sat outside after lockdown. Service a bit slow but servers pleasant. Food average though and didn't look particularly appetising. I think for a well known chain of Italian restaurants Ask could do a lot better. Not as good as Bella Italia.

Very quiet, food came very quickly! Finally found the love for balsamic onions on garlic bread, first time in Lichfield but this ask is lovely

Visited for a work meal and served by Jorgia. I have quite unique dietary requirements that make eating out quite difficult but these didn’t phase the team at ASK Lichfield. Jorgia took time to understand my dietary needs and amended my order to reduce my...

Food, service, drinks all good. Just disappointed we can no longer use Tesco Clubcard vouchers, apparently some Ask Italian still do but not Lichfield.

Please be aware, Ask Italian Lichfield no longer accepts Tesco vouchers. Food ok and drink ok, service ok

Went with my friend for my birthday .the food and service was really great .we had 3 courses all good portions will definitely go again .

Visited for lunch, managed to book a table at short notice and even though we arrived early, they accommodated us with no problem at all. The staff were amazing throughout our visit and the service was quick even though they were busy. Great children's menu...

ASK Lichfield continue to deliver impeccable service always delighted to see their customers and make you feel very welcome. Food still as good as it ever was particularly the pizza pasta and chicken and bacon salad. Definitely recommend, lots of choice and COVID rules all...

This was our first visit to Ask Italian and we wasn’t disappointed, the staff where very really nice as we where waiting to be shown to our table there was a choice of Patio or Garden we chose the Garden which was well set out....

I’ve lunched at Ask Italian on a few occasions , and always enjoyed the food and service . We visited Lichfield last week and after a walk around the cathedral we dropped in for lunch . COVID procedures were well observed , and we found...

Staff were friendly enough. Lovely setting. Pizza tasted nice but not much topping. Very disappointed with side salad. Just a tea plate with a few lettuce leaves, tomato, cucumber. No oils or dressings. Expected a bit more imagination and presentation from such a well known...

Ask is somewhere we visited frequently prior to the 3 lockdowns. During the 3rd lockdown we had several take-away meals from them. However, it is not the same as actually going out to a restaurant. It was so good to be back and to be...

I Booked a table for two yesterday at Lichfield and downloaded my Tesco vouchers to take with me. On arrival I was told by the manager that the ask Italian marketing team had decided not to accept Tesco vouchers at the moment. I contacted the...

Ordered for delivery from ask on saturday evening, food came really quick and was still really hot. My calzone was huge and full of meat, my wife said her gluten free risotto was really lovely too. just as good as being in the restaurant!

Had a takeaway meal for a birthday treat. Food was really tasty and well presented. Was as good as eating in the restaurant. Well worth the money.

Food and service excellent. Menu catered for all including gluten free options. All was very well managed during these testing times.

Had a takeaway in lockdown on a Saturday night, really easy to book & collect. We ordered 1 garlic bread, 1 starter, fries & 2 pastas. They were all really lovely and good portion sizes. Thank you so much Jamie & team. Can’t wait to...

went with friends , extremely like it. took family for meal also like it.\ different sort of food friendly staff

Great meal last night - much improved since our last visit pre lockdown. The measures they have implemented to make their venue Covid safe are good. The staff were friendly and efficient.The food was served quickly and was really good and tasted delicious too.

I’m a frequent diner at ASK and always love the food but on this occasion I have to say it was the best food I’ve ever eaten there! I had a goats cheese pizza and customised it by adding n’duja (which I’m obsessed with ATM)!...

Not long moved to lichfield and I'm so glad we popped into ask. The staff are so lovely! The food is well cooked and atmosphere is great!

Sat outside to eat as it was a lovely day. Friendly and welcoming staff. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. Always have a good experience here.

We only went here as we had been given a voucher. Choosing a quiet time of day mid-week should have not resulted in the long wait to be served and between courses. The portions were hardly adequate, and to cap it all they slipped a...

This was my first meal out since lockdown. Georgia was lovely. I was using a gift voucher card and asked if I could pay upfront as I knew I didn't have the money on me if the voucher card didn't work. This was no problem...

Food was lovely. Service from Zoe was exceptional. All COVID guidelines being adhered to. Very pleasant experience.

Great place with great food🤗🤗friendly staff .. clean place to eat... Covid rules in place and well organised👍

I have visited a couple of times since lockdown and the food, distancing measures and service have all been excellent. Ask is usually a reliable choice in Lichfield and hasn't disappointed me since their reopening. Our waitress for lunch on 01/09 (I'm not sure of...

Have visited other Ask Italian a few times over the last few weeks since reopening. I will say although the food is excellent in most I have visited, the staff at Lichfield will go out of their way to make your dining experience one to...

Have eaten here before and enjoyed meal, so whether it’s to do with the Eat Out scheme but two of the three diners had a very poor main, other one was okay but all in little bowls, looked like a kiddy meal! Sauce on my...

Great food...fabulous pizza... attentive service... only reason I haven’t given a 5 star is decor is a little outdated and Covid rules meant that the doors had to be kept open... making it somewhat chilly!

Excellent meal and service . Felt great attention from staff and to making the experience good . Good menu with lots of choice and felt a cut above over Italian chain restaurants. Would definitely book again .

Surprised to see some of the reviews. First visit after lockdown but calamari and leca leca chicken fabulous followed by Calabria with Love and Insalata Di Pollo e Pancetta was also perfect. Staff were warm and welcoming totally assured that they are following Covid regulations...
