ASK - Sheffield in Sheffield

Let down by serving hot food on a really cold plate

Food is usually excellent, been going for years and have only ever been dissatisfied once. The service is very friendly and efficient.

John served us at sheffield city centre restaurant. Very nice fella , very informative about menu . Food was amazing. Really enjoyed it Thank you john

A very busy pre-Christmas Saturday. Very rushed and the food could have been better BUT I came here to praise the server John for his attention to detail, hard work with the rest of the staff who at times looked a little lost and in particular the way he spoke to our 8 year old daughter. He got down on her level, spoke to her like a human being and she responded brilliantly to him! I wish more people would serve kids in this way. She felt a real part of the ordering routine. Thanks John!

This was my first visit,great food ,great service, Fantastico

Lovely place John is amazing, we love his dedication to making you feel special. A ****

Brilliant food and the staff were really nice we would definitely recommend a visit.

So comfy and the food was delicious

Great atmosphere and great food to eat

Such a lovely evening out for my birthday at Ask Italian Sheffield, excellent food and very attentive service from Holly she's a star, what a wonderful evening 👍😊

Went for a meal after my sons graduation, they gave him a free glass of bubbly to say congratulations and a big discount off the bill. The food was fantastic, as was the atmosphere and the staff were just amazing. Can not recommend this place enough!!

Food is always delicious - Alfred (aged 7) We always come here as a family, the staff are always amazingly attentive and great with the kids!

I ordered seasoned chicken on my pizza more like boiled chicken with a bit of salt

Came here after my graduation and it did not disappoint, food was absolutely lovely perfect portion sizes and all tasted great. Staff are so kind and friendly and the atmosphere was great. Only complaint is that it was a little bit noisy but that's understandable as it is a Friday evening. Other than that it was fantastic and would definitely return!

Had a fabulous meal here, taking advantage of the offer that came with our Tastecard. Food was really tasty. Good sized portions too. Staff were incredibly friendly and couldn’t have done more to help us. Highly recommended!

Food was amazing and service was fast and very friendly, comfortable atmosphere, would come again :)

Staff are really friendly. Food always top notch Nothing more really to say

Lovely meal nice server but the main course was not really hot enough so that meant we had to eat it quickly to enjoy the taste as pasta .

The Atmosphere was quiet but that was due to the fact we dined at 9:00 on a Sunday. I recommend this restaurant.

The pizza was delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

The Best Italian Restaurant in Sheffield❤️❤️❤️

They made myself and Helen very very welcome and did more I cannot believe that I was in Heaven so a BIG BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU JOHN /JON AND TO THE CHEF AND ALL

So good Italian tasting food!! I can compare only with the reaustarants in Italy 🇮🇹. Beautiful atmosphere. The waiter was very kind and careful with us. excellent service.

What a wonderful atmosphere! Delicious food! Really Italian. Beyond my expectations the waiter service. I will visit again ☺️

Very tasty food , excellent service and special I remember a young pretty waiter. I believe his name was Isaac. He was excellent. 👏👏👏

Warm welcome, tasty food, excellent quality with over the moon service experience from the waiters. See you soon again.

Food very nice. Service was excellent and good location to city hall theatre.

We had a great meal the service was amazing the food was delicious and Thomas was absolutely great he couldn’t do enough for us and we would definitely be going back again

Rather enjoyable meal with the family. The restaurant was super busy because of the gig at City Hall but the staff did well and got mains and deserts out on time which were nice and tasty. And in conjunction with all of that, dealing with the Hyacinth Bucket woman two tables over who seemed to think she was dining at Aqua Shard. Well priced and decent meal which was bettered by the staff who were good fun and very efficient.

Such a great experience! Serhat was brilliant and looked after us so well

This place was delicious, they had lots of Italian food, I recommend the Luganica & ‘Nduja Tagliatelle as it was tasty. The service was also great and the staff were super friendly, 10/10. All in all, 5/5

We regularly dine at Ask, which is confirmation itself of the excellent food, service and value for money we receive there.

Sticky toffee was the best I ever had fantastic!!!!

Good food at a very reasonable price, and great atmosphere and service from Alice.

Food was decent (Not amazing) service was shocking. Our starters came before our drinks after we’d been sat down for 35 minutes. Wasn’t checked on whilst eating. Wouldn’t be too eager to return soon

Alice was lovely, made sure we had everything we needed and everything was okay for us. Food was great, came super quick, overall really nice time :)

Had a wonderful experience at ASK Italian in Sheffield thanks to Isaac. His warm hospitality and attentive service made our meal truly enjoyable. He was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. A great asset to the team!

Lovely food and service, atmosphere was great.

This is a great place to get a lovely meal before a gig. They were really helpful and the food was splendid.

A bit loud, but good service. I was disappointed with the menu, which used to have more vegan options. The print on the menu is also tiny.

the food wasn't of the high standard I was expecting from Ask.

Really friendly staff, food was lovely. Not too busy but it was a Monday lunchtime. Would highly recommend the arancini starter. The lasagne and pizza were also really nice.

I’m absolutely appalled at the service as the waiter spilt drinks twice once landing on my legs and then a very slippy floor afterwards which is very dangerous. Other than that the food was lovely and enjoyed it lots.

The food was tasty but chicken a little dry. John was our waiter. He was professional and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends 😊

A lovely meal with great service. Great for coeliacs

The food was amazing, Tom was attentive, funny and helped us with recommendations throughout. From walking in the whole experience was exactly as it should be when eating out.

The pizza is somehow worse than spoons and way more expensive

A very enjoyable meal and atmosphere with friendly staff

Food lovely and service friendly and prompt

The staff are friendly and the service was good. The food is very good and they have a good vegetarian choice.

Lovely experience, the two serving staff were attentive and did everything to provide a good service. The food & cocktails were lovely - excellent vegetarian options. Thank you

Firstly the Mushrooms Al forno we ordered was a disappointment, we have had that same dish in Edinburg few times and this one was not even close to what we were served before. Secondly we order a cocktail which we wanted to have with our dessert, the manager was at the bar, the restaurant had 3 tables including us but never got the drink for next 10 minutes, unfortunately we had to leave as we were running late for the movie. Although our server Amina was really friendly and attentive.

Maria made our visit exceptional above and beyond to meet our needs 5* service

Very friendly staff and the service was excellent. Need more food variety.

Calzone is unexpectedly delicious. Maria and Courtney are super staff… Love it!

We very much enjoyed our lunch yesterdaywaiter John was particularly attentive and helped my wife get the dish that she wanted

5 fantastic! Lovely birthday surprise!

Fabulous food, lovely staff , efficient and great atmosphere.

Food was ok, it wasn’t the best Italian I’ve ever had but equally not the worst. I had the mushroom starter, one of the pieces of bread was pretty burnt and the other 2 barely toasted yet still served. The calzone was nice enough. The coke was expensive for a 330ml serving. I had to go up and ask for the bill in the end, I tried to get the waitress’s attention several times to no avail. The service wasn’t the quickest especially as there were only about 4 tables in with a large empty restaurant out the back.

Fantastic service and delicious food came a fair distance for lunch and held table for oir slight delay.

Lovely food served by Tom who was excellent. Pleasant and attentive.

Great food and drink. Prompt and friendly service

I ordered the grande lasagne. Please see the microwaved slop that I received vs the image of what I was supposed to receive. I actually can't believe I've just wasted £19.95 on that. It wasn't even warm, let alone large. I'd like a refund please, because that is most definitely a case of false advertising!

Really good pleasant friendly service & excellent food.

Brilliant service every time! me and the Mrs go at least every week, she has been to italy to have pasta and says this is the closest you can get to the real thing!! The service is always spectacular and one certain woman (not sure if there name) is always extremely jolly and welcoming! i would rate more stars if possible!

Friendly service and some of the best food I've had in a "chain" restaurant.

Not really a good place for a special outing bit like eating in a school dining room. Small underwhelming portions, the rissoto undercooked, gritty the chicken add on impossible to find, and forgot to bring my fries out until reminded.

Popped in on impulse as we were in town. Not busy as it was Monday early evening. About 6 tables including us. Excellent service, friendly , knowledgable. Reasonable wait for freshly cooked delicious food. 👍

Long story short - this place should ask Italians how to cook properly and to treat your guests. My linguine con frutti di mare was bland in flavor, the sauce was watery and didn't even stick to pasta as it should do. My partner's seafood ravioli portion was so small to the extent it fell like a rip-off paying £17 for it. My friend's carbonara didn't even taste like proper carbonara (lacking pepper, pecorino cheese and eggs). The service was super slow, even though the restaurant wasn't massively busy and there were 3 waiters working at the time. We were waiting more than 30 minutes for starters to arrive and then another 20 minutes for our plates to be even picked up once we finished eating those. We left the place after 2 hours, feeling like we wasted our money as we still felt hungry.

We waited about 40 minutes for the starters to arrive and another 40 minutes for the main courses. In total, we spent 1.5 hours just waiting. The service quality was poor, the portions were small, and paying £17 for a few ravioli is absolutely horrendous considering the portion size, waiting times, and low level of customer service. We could see other people at the restaurant also weren’t too happy with the quality offered. I will never dine at Ask Italian again. I honestly spent 27£ on both the starter and main alone and still left the place hungry, I had to dine at a Chinese place afterwards

I ordered a takeaway from here and they didn't send the lasagne we ordered. The pasta was dry and the dishes were terrible. Nothing like the pictures or descriptions (e.g the carbonara was meant to have a whole burrata on top but that was missing). I could have made something nicer in 15 minutes, so what a waste of £65 🥲. They also kept the driver waiting for nearly half an hour. It was my mistake for ordering from somewhere like this...I'll stick with Food Target in future which is always fabulous and serves actual Italian food.

Called in today without a reservation for lunch with my husband and 2 adult children. Nice table, lovely service from the very friendly waitress (sadly didn't get her name) Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and drinks. Very nice, relaxed atmosphere.

Another great meal here, always a great selection of drinks and food options. The service is always brilliant, a lot of other places seem to have lost that touch so enjoy coming here. John is always friendly and looks after us throughout.

Very friendly staff food Very good we was a table of 6 and we all enjoyed our food from starters to deserts really good. And value for money.

I went the other week for the gin tasting which was an amazing experience. The host was very knowledgeable and I really enjoying the tastings. Cortney our server was really attentive and friendly and served our tasty food. Definitely keen to come back.

A cosy place to eat and drink. Good selection of italian food, drink, and dessert.

We hadn't booked a table but was able to choose our own, a surprise on a sunny Saturday afternoon. John was our server & was absolutely lovely. Very friendly & very informative, especially about my dietary needs. Our food was delicious & the place had a lovely atmosphere. It was our 1st visit to Ask Italian Sheffield & won't be our last. Only down side was the drinks are over priced. Thank you John, you made us feel very welcome 😊

Amazing food and service, great suggestions from John about the red wine Primitivo and the balsamic on olives! My mum was very happy, she had travelled to see family and this was a fantastic experience. Many thanks

Went hwer to celebrate my daughter finishing uni.my daughter has a serious onion allergy which we explained we asked the waitress about onion in the spaghetti bollognaise to which she replied it did not contain any onion not convinced we asked the manager who said it dud contain onion ,so he googled what ingredients where in different meals and told us we "SHOULD"be ok with one meal off the menu to which we decided to leave ,if we'd gave taken the waitresses advice my daughter would gave been hospitalised ,this is not acceptable and Ask Italian need to take a long look at their allergens policy will not be visiting again

Popped in here on the off chance of getting a table and was seated straight away. Service and atmosphere was excellent. Food and drink both first class.

Nice Italian restaurant in the city centre, staff very kind and helpful. Got very lucky to walk-in and have a seat in Sunday evening. Courtney and Isaac looked after us and they were amazing. Even though it was busy they were working really hard and all our food came very quick. Delicious food and good service.

Absolutely lovely meal with the best service.Came with my partner and was served by Isaac who was brilliant and very attentive with our table. The food was lovely and came quickly and service was great, so would highly recommend. Would 100% return.

Had a great meal here. The waitress Courtney I think her name was , was lovely. The food was great but pasta tad hard to my liking. The arancini were my favourite

Dreadful food. Miserably small portions. Calamari tasted like cardboard. Plate for sharing between 2 people little more than large handful. Dip had zero flavour. Main meals a total joke. Varying temperatures across the plate meant you could tell it had been heated up. Again, no flavour. Astonishing achievement really, to take simple ingredients and reduce it to such tasteless mush. The cheek of their prices for the horrors they're serving. This is conveyor belt food. Staff tried hard but could tell they're used to unhappy customers. Felt sorry for them tbh - but felt more sorry for us being so totally ripped off. Seriously avoid this chain.

Great place and just a stone's throw from the City Hall. Perfect for a pre- concert meal.

Booked a table for eight people at 5, got sat down at 5:15. Waiter came to ask about drinks 20 minutes later, then ordered starters10 minutes later. Starters came 20 so got first food 45 minutes after we arrived. Then the mains were ordered that's another 30 minutes, mentioned to staff that we were going to theatre at 7 very apologetic and 4 mains came out 4 minutes later, we told them with food just eat up and we'll wait. 10 minutes the other mains turned up. Tried talking to manager, said sorry we're very busy tonight. I have worked in restaurants as a waiter and that's popicock, you know how many covers you are serving when your fully booked. Manager said we could have a free drink as an apology. Table reservation was 5 to 6:30, time was now 6:50 we didn't have time for a drink as show started at 7. Bill came 20% was taken off but they had the cheek to add service charge What Service. was that. Will say food was good but what the hell, I would be embarrassed if a was the boss.

Family of ten visited for Sunday afternoon meal, all ages from 3 to quite a lot older 😋 We had a great meal, starters mains and deserts and the children’s meals were amazing, really great value and plenty of it too. Courtney was our waitress and was lovely.

Absolutely love the food here! The place was packed due to event at City Hall and snooker at Crucible but service was still top notch. Definitely recommend this place.

Went here for some food on a bank holiday weekend. After waiting for a few minutes looking at a half filled restaurant, with plenty of tables free, we were told they were short staffed and were only accepting pre-booked reservations. We ended up taking our business elsewhere, and then when I checked the website wondering if it was fully booked, I was able to have booked a table for two straight away. I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

It was my Mum's retirement do on the 5th May 2024. We were greeted at the door by I am he was called John, he took us to one of our tables. He was very welcoming and he looked after us the whole time we were there very well, because there was so many of us we had to pre-book the meals which was not a problem. The food was excellent everyone said how lovely it was and the service was excellent. Thank you Ask Italian for making my Mum's leaving do so special

Fantastic food, great service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Great food. Joanna our server was lovely

Lovely lunch at Ask in Sheffield, very friendly staff, lovely food.

Had a voucher so that's why we went. Food was okay but what I chose wasn't. The trio aranchi mushroom starter was too dry. Calzone for main, the truffle was too strong a taste. Went again 4 weeks later. Service was exceptional, what I chose was great food. Mushroom al forno and pianta pizza

Excellent service but in particular Courtney who was fantastic. Super friendly and fantastic at her job. Food was excellent as well.

Great dinner, but have to say just how great Courtney was in her role, super friendly and such a credit to the restaurant. I hope she’s well appreciated. No matter the situation she dealt with everything and everyone with a beautiful smile on her face 😀

Shown to table, no-one came to take our order after 20 mins. Realised there was an option to order online, as soon as I had a guy came over to take our order food was lovely. Asked for the bill waited another 15 mins. Asked again!! Paid online worst service ever £40 for two pizza don't bother!!!

Always great food and pretty fast. Service in Sheffield is really good. One of the staff members named John took good care of us - when he learnt I am a vegetarian he ensured one of the dishes be made vegetarian specifically. Great restaurant which is not highly priced. Would love to return.

Waited 1 hour for water and a starter

Me and my partner where visiting Sheffield and we managed to get a table on a bizzy Saturday night, and I'm so happy we did! Food was fantastic and the staff where really nice (Thank you Kelly) Highly recommended, and I will be checking out the one near me.
