Fettuccine pasta topped with a rich, savory meat sauce, simmered with tomatoes and herbs for a classic Italian delight.

"As soon as I walked in, we were served two shot glasses of lemonade. The staff were very friendly and we were served by 3 people throughout our visit. I ordered the carbonara and it was served extremely quickly to the optimal temperature. My friend order the sausage pasta and the pasta came al dente its like marmite; either you love it or you hate it. Personally I like it but my friend doesn't so perhaps going forward, they could ask customers how they would like their pasta. Other than that, everything was incredible. In the mens toilet was 1 cubical with tissue stocked and toilet clean. Two urinals, three sinks all working with comfotably warm water, two soap dispensers fully stocked and two hand driers. Everything was lovely. I would highly recommend this place to people. I had the warm brownie and cherries clotted ice cream for pud. Option to order by QR code or by staff. I am very impressed as the restaurant met all my expectations. Highly recommend."

"Although the food at this restaurant was good, the service was extremely slow and disorganized. The starters arrived at different times, with one dish missing a part. We waited a long time for our mains and even after finishing our meal, it took 20-30 minutes for the dessert menu to be brought to us. When we finally asked for the bill and for our leftovers to be packed up, there was a delay in providing boxes. The staff only asked about payment method after we had already put on our coats and stood up. Despite a good vegan menu, the lack of cleanliness in the toilets and the overall lack of customer service led us to determine that we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to others. It seemed that the staff were not motivated and the empty restaurant may have been explained by our own negative experience."

"Prezzo (price) is a good name for this place. Sorry to say but nothing to do with Italian cuisine but prices from different planet. Crab and lobster ravioli unfrozen and bland. Gnocchi with grilled? sea bass and peas?? I got confused if this is English pub or Italian restaurant. No herbs, no taste, so specific for Italian cuisine, was really hungry and haven't finished this. Gnocchi drowned in fat, colour grey. Gross, lack of colours (tomato, peppers, carrots etc. missing), prices shocking high, quality of food shocking low, portions small comparing to other Italian restaurants. I've asked if there's Italian chief and got an answer that is racist to have Italian chief in Italian restaurant????? Absolutely ridiculous. Nice service, disgusting food, never again. For 2 juices (150ml each), one espresso, antipasti (3 small slices of garlic bread no garlic taste or smell, 2 slices of second hand ham and something pretending prosciutto £8.95, to be honest dried tomatoes delicious, olives acceptable), portion of gnocchi with sea bass and peas?? over £19, maybe 10 unfrozen ravioli with no taste over £17, bill over £50 paid and I went to McDonald's to eat something. Avoid and find something with Italian chief to taste Italian cuisine."

"When did service stop trying to ensure that their customers have a nice time? Met a very rude manager as soon as we arrived. We had been advised by someone during a lunch shift certain seating arrangements were possible that did not apply for an hour later during the dinner sitting. Rather than apologise for giving different information and politely explaining why she was argumentative, defensive and well, were they they the manager? NO, they were not , which I just couldn 't believe was our first 'I 'm right you 're wrong ' encounter before even sitting down. When we ordered she asked if I had any allergies which I do, so she gave me what looked like a 20 page battered listing book of all ingredients of all different dishes and menus which looked very difficult to interpret and quite frankly like it was for staff- not to be given to a customer. Finally when we had ordered and she left us alone we enjoyed our time and our meal. The truffle and mushroom calzone and primitivo red wine were delicious. That 's why I have given any stars. We 're local and won 't hurry back."

"my friend and I went to the theater and thought so the question would be fast if it was a chain. my friend is coeliac and so she asked about the gluten-free menu. an ordner was opened on the corresponding side and she. ordered the fruit de mer fusilli pasta dish. I ordered pizza and two drinks. the front of the housekeeper murmured and did not seem confident if he was new, I don't know. when he brought the glasses for our drinks, we were both together to see that he had wrapped his hand around the top of the glasses. also pre covid we would not have found it acceptable! we commented on it and drank from the only glass he had not touched. When that came, we wanted to sneak in when my friend noticed a hair on her pasta. she only got it to find it was not on here pasta, but a long hair was wrapped around the spiral of pasta. we called the waiter and she showed him. he apologized and took the court away. then he came by and said that the manager would come to see us. the manager I suspect was the manager for this evening, as what followed was laughing. she said: “I understand that there was a problem with her meal, what was with her?” my friend explained and the manager said: “Oh, right, we will take it off from her bill until now ineffective. then she asked if she wanted to make a replacement, and my friend explained that she had been put off by the hairs. I mentioned how the waiter kept the glasses and she said she had a word with him. my friend asked if there were still gluten-free that they could make fast. Answer “I’m sorry to get you a glass instead.” when they left, we stayed in absolute unbelief. the manager returned a few minutes later to offer the king garnelen in garlic butter. my friend asked if it would be done quickly, to which the manager replied it would be. After 10 minutes I wait to hunt the court that, as I was talking about the manager, turned up. all in all, I would put all the problems on the lack of education. the personal seemed uninterested and more enthusiastic to chat with each other, to serve as customers. it needs a large restaurant manager who hires and trains the personal based table service, hygiene and problem solution. of course we will not be back."

"Located just a short walk from the Empire Theatre, this restaurant is in an excellent location for a pre-show meal. We booked a table for 5pm and had a relaxing dinner for a couple of hours. We never felt rushed, just enjoyed our delicious food and good conversation. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The king prawn starter was light and fresh, the pizza was fabulous, and the honeycomb cheesecake was a must-try. I would definitely go back and recommend it to friends looking for a nice place to eat."

"this is a part of the chain of ask italian to find throughout the U.K., and one would expect that eating is perfectly sufficient (although nothing special) because of it. in that we had eaten in another ask italian in london a week or so earlier, and that seems to eat wherever you decide to dinate. that's not a bad thing. it is always soothing to find a seperate vegan menu, and ask italian has one. while much on the menu looks quite basic, the quality of eating takes the whole experience on a stick. there are the usual pasta dishes, make their own pizza (come with a mozerella style,) a few salads and even a children's menu, of which the latter is really nice to see. this can not be in the area of super advanced vegan Italian restaurants, but we would definitely visit this chain again."

"A lively place to eat and the food prices are typical of similar establishments. However the customer service tonight was extremely slow with no communication. The starter came out just as bread however pretty certain it had accompanying dips sauces and once questioned on this the waiter panicked and provided balsamic vinegar which we didn't raise any further due to our hunger and being with children. The time between the starter and the mains was minutes which anyone with kids will know is a lifetime. This was a Saturday night so understandable but the fact there was no communication was infuriating. The head waitress lady I presume as she had a white shirt on did not raise a smile the entire time I seen her walk by and serve. Our waiter albeit was nice enough to deal with however was definitely not the sharpest tool in the box "

"we went to an early meal on a Saturday, as I wanted a good dish pasta to load on carbs the next day. I got the food I needed, an excellent rosmarin bread to begin and a very large part of the chicken penance I could not finish. I had not expected the restaurant to be so busy at this time. there were families with young children and teenage parties, which there are very loud and a little slow in service with employees rushed around trying to keep all customers happy. In summary, eating was good, but avoiding them if they like a quiet meal and a chat."

"Not what I expected.....I went as a last minute dinner decision and I didn't expect much, which is bad on my part. I can honestly say I enjoyed my experience. Staff were attentive and pleasant throughout. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was tasty! I had the prawns for starter, which i didn't take a picture of because I began eating before my brain realised! Pizza was perfect.....Those desserts are scrumptious. I would definitely go back here."

"The staff were ready to take orders promptly. My pasta dish arrived without the main ingredient, which was odd. It all went downhill from there. After the main course we waited at least minutes before we were offered a dessert menu. Then waited again for someone to notice we were ready to settle the bill. We had Tesco boost vouchers and they had used up both the vouchers even when the meal did not equal to the full amount of the voucher value, and after I had specifically advised the waitress I only wanted to redeem When I queried this and asked for the voucher to be taken off the bill and I would settle the difference and just a confirmation that the voucher hadn't been redeemed the waitress was quite rude and begrudgingly gave me a print out. At no point were we rude to the staff and dissapointed we were treated this way as a paying customer. Needless to say we will not be returning."

"We come here regularly, and we are never disappointed. The food is always cooked well and so so tasty!! I have yet to find nachos that taste better. We’ve never had a bad experience with staff either, in fact today Sami went above and beyond to help us even though it was unusually busy for the time of day we came in. Sami attended to everything we needed with a warmth and friendliness that made us feel at ease. When he found out we were short on time he made sure we had everything we needed and served us swiftly, again making it seem like nothing was too much for him. We love Chiquito’s, and service like Sami’s will always keep on coming back!"

"Very bad service. It was obvious they wanted to close early. Bought out our mains when still eating starters. Turned a table of people away when the restaurant was empty. Our Waitrose was outside smoking and on her phone, when she came back in we had to call her over and she cleared our plates with her coat on. We asked for coffees but were told they had switched the machine off as they wanted to close because they âdidnât have any customersâ this was on a Saturday night. Very disappointed."
"This was our first time at an Ask restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly, polite, and attentive. The service was relatively quick, but not rushed, and the food was absolutely delicious. The children's meal option was great, offering 3 courses and a babychino for just under £7, while the adult main menu was very reasonably priced. As a family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child), we enjoyed a 3-course meal for nearly £60. We would definitely return if in the area and will keep an eye out for other Ask restaurants in different locations."
"Ask is an Italian Restaurant situated in Northampton town centre. It is my favourite place to eat. It offers many pizza and pasta dishes which are so full of flavour. My favourite is the salmon pasta which is absolutely gorgeous. The range of pizza is really good too and you can add extra toppings. I have liked all the Ask restaurants I have been in mainly because the food is so delicious and not too expensive, but also because they have a modern feel to them. It always looks so clean and fresh and the service at Northampton has always been really good. There is a small bar area where you can have a drink and wait for a table although it does sometimes get a bit busy and crowded if there are a lot of people waiting. They do not book tables during the week unless it is for a group of people. The restaurant at Northampton is quite small, although it has some quirky little extra rooms which are nice and intimate and unusual. Nice if you want to sit somewhere a bit quieter or if there is a large group. If you like Italian food then Ask is the place to go as it is delicious food and a nice atmosphere. It is always my first choice of places to eat."
"I went to ask in Reigate on Valentine’s Day with my other half and it wasn’t our best experience and most likely will be not returning. The staff clearly didn’t know what tables they were waiting on as we were ask at least times by different staff to order which we had already done. We also ordered olives to our table and they didn’t come till our mains were there which obviously we wanted them before.I was very full up and couldn’t finish my desert when the waitress came over she looked at me funny clearly because I didn’t finish my desert. I said I was full up and she said in a tone ‘ or did you not like it’ which I think is very rude and not how you speak to customers."

"Had a good time. Staff work hard and are under constant pressure because of low staffing levels. Pure greed on the part of management. Pure pure greed"
"I recently dined at this restaurant and was highly disappointed. The prices were steep, almost £20 per dish and was definitely not worth it. I ordered both mushroom risotto and spaghetti with king prawns. The risotto was incredibly salty to the point where it felt like I was eating pure salt. When I requested a replacement, they took our shared plates, mixed them together, added water, and reheated the same dish, which didn't improve the flavor at all. Not to be mentioned, the king prawns in the spaghetti were tiny and there were a few bugs flying around in the restaurant. I do not recommend this restauran! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2"

"a good selection of vegetarian/vegan options, unfortunately the 2 vegan desert options were not available so only sorbet was offered. the pizza bases can also be made gluten-free, GF and vegan options available as separate menus via the allergen folder.

"We were given a voucher from my fiancé’s dad so decided to book ASK last week. We sat down and then were offered another table with a window. Although cramped it had a view so no major issues. The service was very slow, the restaurant was busy and we were not expecting quick service. Although when several tables including a table of 8 had their mains before us (although we had ordered before) we thought they had forgotten us. One of the waitresses did come to apologise. The food was ok, we had the cheese fondu and pumpkin arachni to start which was nice. We both had pizza for main which was rather bland and the desserts (chocolate gnocchi and honeycomb cheesecake) were ok. Overall I will probably give ASK a miss for future bookings and try other places in Exeter."
