"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!

"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."

"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."

"the food was cheap, and the portions were good, the staff was brilliant, cheerful and very helpful. the atmosphere was beautiful, with a view over piccadilly gardens that became better than the night dark. free homemade limonade at the arrival was also a beautiful note and tasted wonderful. the employees gave enough time to choose drinks first, then we left again so that we could choose food orders. the service was fast and the food was hot. the personal did not suggest us at all. so all in all, it was a nice experience, I would highly recommend."

"the personal that is very friendly at my visit to ask. they were especially friendly to my 3 year old companion who was not in good mood when we arrived. the coloring in it, although thanks to the staff. large children's menu here at a good price. so many thanks to the Thursday staff. I'm sorry about the chaos we left you with. there are a series of steps to get into this restaurant from the street level, so I am not sure that this would be a must for everyone with mobility problems. but I am sure that the restaurant will have advances for wheelchair access. good menu choice, fast, convenient, good priced, friendly and very clean. thank you ask."

"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."

"came to dinner on Friday night after a cursed room on the road here! there were 8 of us, but the personal could fit us. it took us to choose one because, but the waiter was patient and helpful. my son found it very difficult to choose because he had something special in the sense that was not on the menu! After trying to explain 3 employees what he wanted, they were very courteous and could do exactly what he wanted from a combination of other menu points! he loved it and all the other ordered meals were very tasty and good portions. deserts were delicious, huge profiterole was amazing and the children loved the chocolate gnocchi! good price, great service, beautiful atmosphere, would highly recommend and will return definitiw."

"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"

"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.

"well, the teig balls and chocolate torte were beautiful. they have my pizza order wrong. it was still vegan, but I just ordered mozzarella, but my came with tomato and rocket. the cheese itself was beautiful. all in all, very similar to zizzi (they are owned by the same company, so that makes sense.)"

"Horrendous service. Barely any customers were present and who I believe was the manager (the old nasty person who works there) snapped at the person I was with and hurried them so that she could leave (we saw her leave as soon as she finished the order), food was sub-par. Do not go to this terrible branch of subway. Will never return."

"very nice restaurant and much refreshing, real Italian cuisine instead of burger, which they find in all other restaurants. I had a very good carbonara with a rich and (not too) creamy sauce. a good place to go if they are looking for something delicious and really different!"
"One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever visited. For those of us who aren't familiar with some of the more exotic Italian dishes, the menu can be a bit overwhelming. However, even the more familiar dishes are incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is clean, well-lit, and has a modern ambiance. It's fascinating to watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen; they conduct themselves with intelligence and professionalism. The staff is charming and friendly while maintaining a respectful distance, allowing guests to fully enjoy their meals. I highly recommend this restaurant – the food is fantastic, very satisfying, and a pleasure to eat there. My only critique is that the bowl for the profiterole is tall and narrow, making it difficult for the profiterole to stay put on the flat chocolate plate shown in the picture. Unfortunately, it rolled off, but it was too delicious to be a major issue. Overall, it’s a fantastic dining experience!"

"we sat right away. the waitress took over our drink order. she took our food order when she brought our drinks. we only ordered garlic bread and olive for appetizers. the main was a pasta dish with chicken and mushroom pieces in a white wine sauce that was very beautiful. we had a glass of white wine and a gin cocktail. both enjoyed us. everything in all service and eating was good."

"general information: Italian cuisine (booking a table recommended) my favourite bit: that I have ordered two appetizers and that was a good food for me! and this amazing garlic bread! thin, fresh, soft, tasty, ei! ask for free butter, especially if you did not order me cheese. oh, my days! my worst piece: they have no mocktail prizes for cocktails. I ordered a delicious fruity mojito and asked her that they did not add alcohol because their available mocktails were boring for me. I have calculated the full cocktail price cocktail so think about going ready to pay for such or ready to negotiate for a cheaper price when they order. I'm sorry, the negotiations were not my priority at the moment, so I'm not sure how that could be out to be fair and absolutely honest "

"The restaurant was really good, but the only issue was finding it. The website should provide clearer directions for people coming from rural areas who may not be familiar with navigating a large city. For example, stating that it is located next to Gloucester Road tube station, behind Waitrose, would have been incredibly helpful. Despite this, the menu was great, the food arrived promptly, and it was delicious."

"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."

"we had the 18th birthday of our daughter there and the staff was very helpful. nothing was too much annoyed and eating was excellent. a member of our party has been taken uneasy and supported discreetly without causing any embarrassment. we even need to use a huge amount of tesco clubcard vouchers. thanks for a beautiful birthday"

"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."

"we have decided to try the pizza and the lentil-Ragu Pasta dishes and we have enjoyed them very much! they also make americano coffee with soy milk. there is a dedicated vegan menu, but they need to ask for it. many choices and there are also vegan children's dishes. the staff is friendly and friendly, highly recommended!"
