Meet up with friends twice a year here. We always enjoy the food and the staff are friendly and helpful and prices aren’t too bad either. However, we met up again today for our annual Xmas get together, 2 of us ordered the Gingerbread Caramel Sundae at £7.25. Sadly, I have to say, receiving this delicious sundae in a ‘plastic’ sundae dish was just wrong and because it was quite shallow, being charged £7.25 was a bit of a cheek really! The little gingerbread men were lovely tho. It won’t stop us revisiting but had to mention this,

Not good. Waiting nearly an hour for food. After asking how long it would be, our food arrived within a minute. It was lukewarm leading me to belive it had been sitting in a kitchen for a while waiting to be served. The chicken on the pizza looked and tasted like it came from a supermarket packet. The pasta dish lacked any flavour and the prawns were gritty, don't think they had been deveined properly. The glass of sauvignon was unpleasant. The gin was nice and the staff were pleasant. We were going to be late for our theatre show so we paid whilst eating our food. Was we rushed off we didn't have the time to give the team opportunity to rectify anything. Disappointing as we've been meaning to visit for a while. We won't try again.

We have been to numerous ask Italians but unfortunately this has to be the worst one we've been to. Waiting over a hour for our food, along with other tables around us, when it did arrive it was disappointing and unfortunately nothing like we have had in other ask Italian restaurants.

I visited Ask in Liverpool, as I dine regularly at their Manchester restaurant, where the food is always hot & tasty. I ordered a Prima pizza which was served on a cold slab, so, within a few minutes, was cold & the cheese had congealed. It consisted of a thin spread of tomato, cheese & one small mushroom, so hardly had any topping on it & was tasteless & certainly not up to the quality one expects when paying £15:50 for ingredients that had probably cost around £1. I ate it because I was starving & nobody had come near me until after I had finished it. When the waitress eventually came over, I complained that my meal had been cold & dry & I had not enjoyed it, but she did not seem interested. It was a cold, extremely wet day & seated at a table next to the window, the restaurant was absolutely freezing & I really needed a HOT meal! I had tiramisu for dessert which came with a pot of Baileys to pour over it, which I didn't use as I don't like Baileys. For just under £8, as it was accompanied by a tiny scoop of ice cream, that too was a disappointment. When my bill was eventually brought, the waitress was there with the card machine at the same time, before I could check it before paying. I was horrified to discover that I had been charged for 2 portions of tirimasu. Fortunately, I discovered this before leaving the restaurant & the cost of the second portion was refunded. However, I had already complained to the waitress that I was really cold seated next to the window on such a wet, stormy evening & that the food was cold, but no deduction was made from my bill. I could have purchased a far superior, tastier pizza from Lidl for under £2, rather than waste over £30! I did not enjoy any of the food & shall be dining elsewhere on my next visit to Liverpool.

Gf pizza was undercooked and doughy. Despite telling the waitress it wasn't dealt with. My partner said compared to Ask Italian in Worcester, Liverpool was poor. The cheese garlic chips I had with pizza were cold. The new garlic prawn pizza I had was not very good. No garlic taste on the prawns, very bland. We like Ask Italian but not this one. Our usual in Worcester is way much better.

We visited Ask Italian when staying nearby, mostly for convenience and didn't have high expectations but how wrong were we!! I ordered a 3 course set menu, I had butterfly prawns to start which I got 5 large prawns that were so fresh, just the right amount of garlic and lemon, delicious. For my main I had pulled brisket pappardelle which was nice, lots of meat, pasta lovely and fresh, if I had to really say something I'd of liked the pasta sauce a tad thicker. Finally I had the lemon tart with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sorbet and it was divine! My husband had calamari to start, again fresh, crispy batter, gorgeous. He had the calzone for Main, which was just the right size and packed with meat. He finished with a latte and a small brownie. The service was good, really can't complain and we would definitely go again!

We’ve been to Ask Italian many many times over the past almost 20 years. Ordered the premium prawn and crayfish tagliatelle. The potion was ridiculously tiny. The price has gone up by at least 50% and the portion has halved. Also, a 10% service charge was added to the bill. Yes, it was optional but I don’t like the assumption that a service charge will be paid, and if you don’t agree you need to ask to have it removed. The staff are already paid for their job by the company and tips should be at the discretion of the customer, not just added to the bill and the customer has to get it removed if they don’t agree. Not planning on returning,

Its been years since I have been to ASK for a meal, I have to say I would never ever go again. The Giabatta starter was dry and tasteless and I don't the tomatoes on it were that fresh because the skin was tough. My partner had Lasagna which was no better than a ready meal and my Caeser Salad was basically some brown lettuce leaves, salad cream some big rock hard chunks of toasted bread and some slices of slimey chicken. More like a cheap fast food chain.

Our first time at Liverpool and we looked for a restaurant close to The Liverpool Empire Theatre for dinner before the performance. We were served by a lovely lady, and as I’m a fussy eater, she accommodated which food I could eat. We had dessert. My Husband asked for 2 different sorbets, but he only got the one flavour, but that was ok. We also had tea and coffee after. The restaurant was very clean. My Husband went to the toilet downstairs but said that it wasn’t very clean.

Came here January 2020 with my partner, his sister and her fiancé for a meal. Myself and my partner were doing veganuary and chose here after enquiring about if they had a vegan menu and because it was close to the Royal Court theatre as we had tickets for a play. I have to say we tried a few places to eat during veganuary some places being solely vegan/veggie places but our meal at Ask had to be our best vegan meal. They had a pretty good selection some dishes being the same as the regular menu but tweaked to be vegan, they got the flavours right and everything tasted fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan options including what drinks were vegan friendly. Would recommend.

Algunos elementos del menú no estaban disponibles y la comida que se sirvió no era buena, calzone frío y tuvo que ser devuelto. No encontramos al personal muy servicial o amable, así que en general no fue una gran experiencia y el restaurante ni siquiera estaba lleno para usar eso como excusa.

From the moment we arrived I was impressed. I suffer from a gluten allergy and was asked about it before I was seated. The NGC menu was good and varied. It was nice to receive this without having to ask for itWe waited a while for our pizzas to arrive. After about a 15 minute wait, a member of staff came to see us to apologise for the wait and to explain the reason. Great service as the restaurant was packed at the time. Our food arrived shortly afterwards.We got a nicer surprise with the bill as we were given a generous (and unrequested) discount.The food was delicious, by the way. But he service was even better.

We called in for a meal pre theatre trip around 5:30 pm Saturday 22/2/20. It was busy and waitress said she had the last table for us, which seemed 'not quite correct' as more people behind us were seated after us ( not at reserved tables). We ordered our meals (Risotto con pollo e fungi & slow cooked beef in chianti sauce and a portion of French fries), a glass of Peroni and a 250 ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc. A short while later we were told they had run it of SB and could we choose another...no problem as such, I chose a Pinot Grigio which was more expensive. Our meals came and my husbands meal was really inedible. There was an enormous breadlike crust on it, burnt underneath, with what could only be said we're a few pieces of meat beneath it. The accompanying brocolli was yellow on top and you could barely cut into it, it was so undercooked! I love risotto but my mine was more like rice in sauce, with a few mushrooms and few pieces of chicken. My husband called the lady over ( she was possibly the restaurant manager) and she agreed that it shouldn't look like that, nor should it have been burnt. She asked if he wanted something else but, as we had other food, he declined.....by this time he was very upset but was extremely polite in his complaint about the food. We both shared the risotto and both agreed it wasn't up to a great standard of cooking or presentation. No one approached us after that, my husband asked a passing waiter for the bill who dutifully brought it and we had to check about the returned meal. It had been deducted but we were so annoyed that to them it seemed 'just one of those things'. Any good restaurant who respect their customers ( and we've been to Ask before) would have acknowledged the inconvenience to ourselves, the fact they had run out of a certain wine ( again, we accepted that) and say, given us complimentary drinks. I just feel furious that the customer service was so lacking....they were polite and apologetic but quite dismissive, failing to approach us again to see if we were happy. Perhaps other people ate well there that evening and, maybe because it's a city Centre restaurant, they feltjust 2 unhappy customers were not worth worrying about. I don't have the answer to that but I do know it spoiled our evening because of the bad start. I'm really disappointed in the after care the staff have to us both. EVERY customer is important and our food on this occasion was absolutely terrible.

My wife and I went to Ask Italian in Queen Square Liverpool yesterday evening for a meal before going to the theatre. Served by friendly staff, the meal was well prepared and and did not take long to arrive at our table. Although the restaurant was by no means full at this time (around 5.30 pm) there was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and had plenty of time to get to the theatre. Will definitely go again.

Excellent dinner once again.In my humble opinion Ask Italian is the best Italian restaurant in Liverpool. We have been there on numerous occasions and not once have we had a poor meal.Last night we had a garlic bread to share, then I had the lasagne grand, while my partner had pancetta and asparagus carbonara. Both were delicious. We had a dessert each. Again top notch.

I had meatballs for my starter, the bowl was hot, the top of the meatballs were hot, however the bottoms were cold. Kayleigh took them away to sort out the situation which she did quickly. I was offered a complimentary drink in compensation. I had the penne arrabiata as the main course which was okay apart from the source being a little thin. The drinks on offer are good. All in all excellent service from the staff

My wife & I were regulars until last night (17/1/20), the problem with this restaurant is the complete inconcistency of the food to the point we know who has made it, my wife always has the meat calzone, to try & prevent the ongoing problem when I order I always ask that they put enough filling in & offer to pay extra, our waiter John & general manager Sarah are aware of this & whenever they are on shift they ensure there is no problem. Last nights calzone was disgraceful, on ordering it last night I mentioned it to the manager Charlotte as usual when it arrived it was a disgrace, when my wife put her knife in, it totally collapsed as there was hardly any filling, Charlottes reaction was to reluctantly offer to replace it while lecturing my wife and made it sound like she was freeloading, we paid for the garlic bread & drinks we had & told her we would not be paying for the mains, we saw John on the way out, who was just coming on shift, we explained why we would not be coming back, I would suggest that shift managers should be capable of handling a problem she has been made aware of in advance in a better way than losing regulars, I would also suggest she asks about food allergies as my wife is allergic to lettuce & she was served a salad garnish, on the bright side there was so little of that as well, it probably would not have made her that ill even if she had eaten it.

They had cooked the pizza, then put the toppings on, so I had tomatoes cut in half and just plonked on top and 4 tiny pieces of goats cheese. I have had hundreds of pizzas but never one with uncooked toppings. For £12.50 I was appalled. And to make it even worse it was cold!!!! Had to send it back and they just reheated it.

They give you a set menu which has a choice of 4 items per course. All very cheap if you buy them on the normal menu - not even soup. Vegan is non existent on the set menu so she said she could do pasta with tomato sauce or a pizza with tomatoes. Dessert available only sorbet for vegans.

My mum isn't a chip eater really but I had to get in there before she ate the lot. And the garlic mayo you get with the chips is to die for i couldnt leave that alone. Not understanding mayo with chips it should be ketchup i quite surprised myself. For us Prezzo do the best lasagne but Ask is on a par with them. Staff were nice and service was quick.

Puedo ver por qué Jamies Italian se quebró: hay demasiadas cadenas que compiten exactamente en el mismo espacio: Ask, Pizza Express, Prezzo, Bella Italia, Strada, Franco Manca. . .

I’ve visited Ask in Manchester a few times and it’s always been really nice. We had a rare child free day in Liverpool and decided to eat here as we like the food, however the Liverpool branch is awful!!! The staff were lovely but the standard of food was terrible. Broccoli arrived like mush on a plate and the presentation wasn’t much different. Really standard salad like you’d buy at the supermarket and the mushroom sauce was tasteless. Will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone. Your chef needs to up their standards massively or you’ll be loosing a lot of customers

Only my 2nd visit to ask and will be my last. Restaurant is really cold, ended up putting a cardigan on my daughter and my husband was freezing. Think they’d cranked up the air con. Daughters spag Bol was tasteless, informed the waiter who swapped it for another meal and took the kids meal off the bill without asking. Both mine and husbands pasta dishes where average. Not sure if it’s the food from there but I spent the night vomiting!! Man on the table next to use sent his dinner back twice. Nicer food in the nandos facing!

I used to really enjoy ASK but i'd never left a review before. Feel a bit guilty for doing it now but lately they have not lived up to standards of the past. I always have the Lasagna (boring i know) but it seems to be getting worse each time i go. Have you guys changed it? I will be back i'm sure i just hope it's how i always remembered it, creamy and flavoursome, not stodgy and bland.

Went this evening after the theatre, walked I. It wasn’t very busy at all. The menu’s were thrown at us, we sat down anyway and looked at the menu waiting for the waiter to come and take our drinks order. After 10 mins, still hadn’t been over: we said we would wait a further 10 mins to see if they approached us, they never so we left. Didn’t receive so much as a hello or buy. Rude service especially in an empty restaurant.

1st time visiting this restaurant as on trip to Liverpool. Looked lovely & clean but staff a little bit lax in providing any Cheese, Water. Forks & spoons. Food was just average.

My ladies meal was tiny and uninspired with a capital uninspiring. For £13 she got about 20 chips, small piece of chicken, sprig of broccoli and the smallest portion of mushroom sauce I have ever seen, about 1 mouthful and that's being generous, felt my lady had been insulted. My £14 pizza was beautifully presented as a long lozenge shape, looked big but really no more than a 6 inch pizza, con job by using shape to make it look big. Will never go back.

Chain restaurant and you can tell. A lack of love for the food was evident, portion sizes not up to much and expensive bottled beer. Would not visit again and would go to a independently restaurant next time.

Have to say I'm a little disappointed with my dining experience. Everything felt rushed. Ordered a bolognaise which is literally what I got - no bread, no parmesan, no water - unless you asked. It tasted alright but for £11 portion was tiny could almost another one. Overall substandard!

We went with friends for early dinner before the show at the Cavern Club as it was close by. We were not disappointed, food was excellent and we all had something different, all good. The place was very busy but staff coped well and we didnt have to wait for anything for long. Definitely recommend.

Having visited the new Leeds branch before a concert I thought choosing this place was a no brainer....oh how wrong I was! We where quite happy to wait half an hour for our table drinking the delicious cocktails. But once got seated it was downhill from there. Over 50 minutes wait for starters then another 35 for mains. Rubbish excuses and lies given for reasoning. Table next to us ordered after us and had finished there food before ours was brought. We were given a discount but the final straw was the waiter slamming the receipt on the table!!! Go elsewhere..!!

We wanted to try an Italian restaurant and all I can say is WOW what a great place to go for food it was delicious my partner ordered the chicken pesto pasta and she was very impressed with that and I just had a pepperoni pizza which was one of the best I’ve ever had it was so tasty and I can’t forget the drinks my partner had the strawberry mojito that tasted great and I had the strawberry spritz they where so mouth watering and we would like to thank the waitress Sophie she was so pleasant and very polite. Keep up the great work guys we will be back one day. 100% Recommend this place to friends and family ;)

Would just like to say how wonderful your colleagues, Jess and John, are; I can not praise them enough for the care and attention they gave us when I brought in my parents who both suffer with Alzheimer’s, on Tuesday 11th. They went above and beyond, and nothing was too much trouble for them. As you can imagine it is difficult trying to manage two adults who have Alzheimer’s, they made me feel so comfortable when I visited and were willing to help with anything. They’re attention to my parents and I made my afternoon a lot less stressful. Then at the end of the meal when I asked for the bill,they told me it was on the house as they had been watching me and we’re able to empathise with my situation. I have never felt so emotional when this happened, it brought me to tears. They really are a credit to your company, I cannot praise them enough! We will definitely be returning to this restaurant, just for the incredible staff. I hope you give them the recognition they deserve for this incredibly, compassionate act. Thank you, Jess and John!

First off I would like to compliment our lovely servers for their attention to our needs! I am allergic to all grains, not just wheat and gluten and was excited to see a special menu offering pizza and other lovely things I cannot normally eat. However they were only listed as gluten free, our servers tried to find a list of ingredients to check for other grains and failing that even attempted to contact head office, but to no avail!

This was my first visit to an ‘Ask’ and it will be my last. I love Italian food and was really looking forward to an enjoyable meal. Sadly the butterflied chicken could have repaired the sole of my shoes; it wasn’t just dry, it was hard. Insufficient sauce and 3 miserable, soggy pieces of broccoli completed the dish.

As a lovelr of Italian food, I was really disappointed about the food and the price of the food here. Starter we had Prawn and Mushroom, which was ok but for main course we had Beef Brisket and Chicken pasta ad it as awful, loads of pasta hardly any meat and no taste. The only good thing about was the waitress who was very friendly.

Our first starter, the soufflé was not available - at 6 o’clock! The substitute antipasto was small, poor quality with a meagre selection. The main courses, particularly the lasagne, were barely edible. Looking round, most people were having pizzas and apparently enjoying them. So maybe just steer clear of the other food. The service was good and the general ambience was OK.

One of our party only had 30mins before they needed to catch a train and was just going to order a starter but our waitress, Mira, assured us she could get a main course to him in time. Good to her word, the pasta dish arrived super-fast and by all accounts was very tasty. The rest of us enjoyed a more leisurely meal, all of which was fresh and flavourful. Thank you Mira for great service and ensuring all of our party was well fed!

Staying nearby. Saw good reviews hence decide to make reservation. Went during dinning peak hour. Had very late lunch, so did not order any main but ordered dessert and drink to try; tiramisu and Aperol Spritz as don't wish cancel reservation. Was disappointed with taste for both comparing what I had before from origin place.

We've eaten there three times in the last week. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food (pizza and pasta dishes) were very good. A special plus is the play area for children. We can absolutely recommend the restaurant and will definitely visit again on our next visit to Liverpool.

I recently visited San Carlo Liverpool where I had the opportunity to sample the highly recommended tomahawk steak, cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, the steak was disappointingly tough and chewy, which led us to leave much of it uneaten. This wasn’t an isolated experience, as the other dishes at the table also failed to impress, leaving the overall quality of the meal feeling underwhelming. The service was efficient, though it seemed the staff were aware of the less-than-satisfactory food, as evidenced by the amount we left on our plates. While we didn’t have the chance to request a replacement due to time constraints, it was clear the team didn’t press the issue further. On a positive note, the restaurant itself offers a pleasant atmosphere with tasteful décor, providing a welcoming setting for diners. Despite the culinary letdown, the ambiance does make it a nice spot to enjoy a meal if you’re looking for a comfortable place to relax. However, given the food experience, I’m hesitant to recommend it to those prioritising quality cuisine.
