"I was looking for a new place to eat at lunch and after a walk through the city center I found myself outside the cafe antipasti. her menu looked interested so I got into the house. they have a very inexpensive set menu, but I decided to dinate from the a la carte menu. I started with gnocchi dumplings, served in a pesto and parmesan cream. That was nice. the sauce was rich and creamy and the dumplings had a good resistance to them. for the main course I had to go for one of my favorite Italian dishes, hummer ravioli. that was delicious, served with cherry tomato and garden. the service was quick and friendly and the interieur is comfortable. I am very glad that I stumbled on this restaraunt and I will return definitiw in the future to feed again."

"A busy night because of a music gig nearby and I expect it caused extra pressure in the kitchen. Our starters arrived at very different times, but with an apology. My partners pasta was divine, as was the garlic bread and beetroot and goat cheese balls with chilli dip. Sadly my main was on a stone cold plate with cold broccoli and a little pot of cold sauce. The ‘roast’ baby potatoes were simply boiled new potatoes which had been flattened on a pan to blacken and burn them. Worst still they definitely tasted of fish, I expect that the same grill/implements were used for both. However the actual chicken Milinase was tender, crisp on the outside and very tasty. We had an issue with dessert. We followed the instructions and used the QR code to book the 2 desserts. To save time I paid the bill and added the tip. Unfortunately this closed our tables account and the kitchen had no record of the order. The app does not give you any chance to get a receipt and I was unable to easily prove we had paid. Except my Apple pay said that £102 had been deducted from my account. Eventually, while we were getting the issue sorted another waiter arrived with the missing desserts. I think the QR code idea is fabulous but it was a bit glitchy tonight."

"After a difficult start not having our online booking (although I had the confirmation e-mail) the staff were excellent and managed to find us a lovely table although the restaurant was very busy. The service was excellent and the new menu since the last time we were there) was very good. My lobster and prawn pasta was excellent with just the right amount of spice. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the desserts were yummy. We had our month grandson. Very friendly atmosphere and plenty to keep him entertained."

"came here for a company. so did not get the full experience, so to speak as it was finger / impromptu buffet eating / service. definitiw a place for when it is wet and cold outside, like its way in the cellar of the building where it is warm and smuggling. the service was efficient and professional. the food we had was good. pretty delicious roasted sandwiches, very good pizza and calamari. it is not a good food, but the menu they would not expect. it is more offered by classic, reliable, working well for lunch. beverages were not too expensive due to its position on mount street. they go back and check it to the lunch right in the near future."

"in this crazy live and so often unfriendly city to find this little Sicilian family run precious stone is a joy. sitting on a table of Italian natives, people come to their "regular tables" with italia being sprinkled over the room, and a damn good food also: grazie mille:"

"the increasing opulence of Süd-London has expanded to trendy." streatham with new, cost-intensive restaurants, among them this tapas bar with many backend sessions this place is wonderful. great atmosphere, excellent (and charming) service and fantastic eating. I can't speak for the a la carte menu (yes), but the tapas is very good, and the waiter has suggested how many dishes were enough so that we don't get over. by the way, timeout is correct that the ratatouille is a steh dish. also the sardines are highly recommended. garlic mushrooms were spiced by solid portobello, properly baked, pimentos pardon tenderly with garlic, both patatas...read more"

"We were a party of 16 friends who shared a set menu of starters, pizzas pasta. The whole evening was super great staff who were pleasant, knowledgable patient with our large party. An amazing variety of food delicious served with beautiful presentation care. Gluten free diets were easily catered for nothing was too much trouble. The puddings, coffee wine flowed we were under no pressure to leave at all even at 11pm. This really felt like a restaurant where the owners are present at the heart of a great team. Good luck to you all if you’re reading this stop right now book you won’t regret it!!"

"First time I've had or even heard of ASK Italian but glad I found out. I did want a cheeky Nandos but the queue was ridiculous and ASK had a few tables and no queue... Sat and seen to pretty quickly and given a free shot of lemonade while we pondered over the menu and asked if every course was okay and attentive to our drinks when they were empty. We had a really lovely woman who served us. Starter: calamari delicious, light, fluffy coating on the outside with just the right amount of sauce to dip in to. Arancini balls (wife's) where very tasty too. Main: calzone absolutely packed with hot delicious meats and sauce. Not like a lot of places where you get 25% filling and 75% dough. Dessert: baked chocolate gnocchi I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this was absolutely without a doubt, one of my favourite desserts I've ever had!! The pastry was hot/warm/fresh, dipped into chocolate and then with a bite you find this smooth warm chocolate inside... I would go back for this alone! But while I'm there I'd definitely have it all again. Cant fault the food or the service one bit. Gotta give it 4* purely because it's a family place and there's young humans about who can be a bit loud and distracting. Also found the seating functional and not comfy for a sit down meal."

"We go quite regularly as it is a convenient place for us three couples to meet and the food is quite good usually. This time though we had a couple of complaints to make, the starter described as on brioche, which three of our party had, was, it appeared, tomatoes on toast. I ordered the butternut squash risotto which really was pretty disgusting, a dish of slop totally unrecognisable in look or taste as rice. It was graciously and with apologies replaced with my choice of the chicken and mushroom risotto. delicious! But we shouldn't have to complain it really isn't nice"
"Good location in the heart of Lichfield with outside seating and views of the cathedral. All staff offered first class service which was always polite, pleasant and efficient. I particularly would like to thank the young man who in advance chilled us a bottle of red which is so difficult to get in this country. The food was a delight for all three courses. We shall definitely add this to our list of favourites and have no hesitation in recommending a visit."

"Absolutely delicious food, good service and nice atmosphere. I had a Mushroom Risotto and it was soo tasty. I was surprised how fast the food came, usually there’s always a long wait for the delicious dishes. We sat in the garden and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. The service was also great, the waitress was very professional, friendly and kept running in and out to please me and the other customer’s requirements. Overall a nice lunch in ASK Italian Canterbury. Definitely recommend it to all Italian food lovers and not only."

"Our 20 yr old student son was visiting Ipswich as part of an upcoming placement. He had to stay in a hotel for two nights on his own and eat out for dinner as nothing available in the hotel. He went to ASK at around 6.30pm and asked for a table … he was told they ‘already had too many’ despite all the empty tables and him being on his own. Very offhand and rude and made him feel very uncomfortable. On phoning afterwards we were told they were short staffed and having a difficult day. Nice of them to take it out on a young man on his own. Shameful behaviour! The reality is he was one person, it was early doors, and all he wanted was a warm meal after a long day. He wouldn’t have been taking a table up all night and making demands on the staff. If you happen to find yourself in a similar situation save yourself the trouble and just go to Prezzo. Or just go to Prezzo in any event."

"I’ve never eaten in the restaurant but I will certainly do so in the near future having been impressed more than once with their takeaway/home delivery service (via Uber Eats/Just Eat). First of all, it’s nice to get a proper meal cooked and delivered instead of your standard Turkish/Indian/Chinese options etc. Secondly, the delivery is absolutely rapid Fratellis don’t mess about! Lastly most importantly, the food has been sooo good. The Pollo Funghi I’ve ordered a couple times. It comes in a big square foil tray 3 big bits of chicken breast in a lovely, creamy sauce with plenty of sliced mushrooms, a handful of chunky chips, a couple of boiled potatoes and some spinach and broccoli. It’s really delightful and the portion size is very generous. The chicken pakora is very nice too. Different but lovely. About 8 bits of chicken. Not a fan of the cold tomato based salsa style dip that accompanied it though. The Risotto Gamberoni (King Prawns) was also excellent. Arrived in a long narrow tray but very filling and tasty and again very generous with the amount of prawns in the dish. Loved it! My wife has ordered a few pasta dishes which she has also thoroughly enjoyed so overall a great find and looking forward to ordering again/popping in for some proper good grub. Great Job!"

"at the arrival in ask on December 30, the personal had no recording about my online booking, although I was required with a phone call before the day to confirm a high chair. my friends and I found the personal unsympathetic to our preferences and made us feel as if the fault was our fault instead of opentable or ask. Even an apology at the time would have softened our disappointment, but instead the personal seemed rude and unfriendly. there was no place to sit down for lunch, although I had made a booking so we were forced to go in the hope that we could find somewhere to eat. prezzo in marlborough managed to find us a table and we were really impressed by the friendly and accommodating staff. a sharp contrast to our experience with the personal at ask. we had traveled some distances to meet in marlborough for a birthday dinner and unfortunately we left ask frustrated at the lack of friendly reception in the restaurant. due to this unacceptable experience I will not use open table again for bookings and we will not return to ask in marlborough."

"I've been coming to Bistro Laz and Al Parco (they share a building and also a kitchen, I believe) for as long as I can remember. Its been a family favourite restaurant for again, as long as I can remember. Every birthday, Special occasion meal, etc. We had here. I went back recently with a friend and I've got to say I was a bit embarrassed I sung their praises to him, and I think on this occasion the restaurant fell short. The food was as amazing as always, and the wait staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful. BUT, they had none of the mid level or cheaper wines in stock, and we had to buy a £70 or 80£ bottle, the bottle which admittedly was a very nice bottle was originally more and they did discount it though which was nice, but overall still annoying as we didn't expect to spend more than £30 or 40 on wine. But more annoyingly the food didn't arrive for a very, very long time. So much so that it seemed like they forgot about us. Admittedly, the restaurant was very busy when we were there, but the service speed was still, in my opinion too slow. Otherwise, Bistro Laz was great as ever. Like I said, the food was brilliant, and reasonably priced. The lamb cutlets with mash, and the large prawn starters are superb. Or if you want a great pizza order from the Al Parco menu. I'll give them 4 stars just because I love them and the food so much but they need to keep their wine in stock and either work on service speed, or keep diners informed so its clear they're not forgotten."

"we have booked here as I have been and enjoyed in ask italians at other places. Scarborough was just too busy, the personal looked scattered and ran around like headless chicken! I expected a formal culinary experience, but it felt more like a greasy spoon. the food was good and the pizza was delicious. if they want a fast food-style experience, they come when they expect a restaurant where they dress up, then this is not the place to go!"

"Friendly welcome. Swiftly seated. Really enjoyed prawn starter cooked to perfection. Nice pizza for main. Kindly put slices left in a box to bring home. Like that you can get a 500ml carafe of wine. Away offers on which make it good value for money but full price is over priced I'd say. There was a group in who were quite loud, as the restaurant is open plan there was no noise absorption. Not the makings of a quiet dinner for two. Otherwise couldn't fault."

"Came for Father’s Day. Average food at best. We wern’t made aware of items not on menu until we came to order and had to rethink on the spot. Unhappy sister and mother. When we came to pay we had some vouchers to use which we were told we couldn’t because they weren’t accepting them on Father’s Day. Were we made aware before the meal? NOPE. Good job we had money because other people may not have. Disgraceful really considering our vouchers we redeemed for today might run out before we get back there. Money grabbers. No tip from us. Not going again"

"they ask italian is a chain of restaurants that stand for bankable good meal. it is not my Italian place, but it has never proved to be disappointment. the ambiente connects perfectly with the service and the food, the calm and the collective. the menu itself is decent, starting with bruschetta, calamari, garlic garnel and mushrooms. with sufficient grades to choose from..The main course included an extensive range of pastas that are suitable both for vegetarian and for carnivores. Question is a restaurant that can be placed for the first 5 tips of the head' Italian restaurant not only with the family, but also for casual dinning with friends."
