"Staff took quite a while to approach us at the main door.. We had arrived mins early, so appreciated that it may be a wait to arrange a table.. we commented that we’d be happy to wait at their bar, to find this isn’t available ?, or at least there isn’t a bar waiting area which is a shame considering the potential of the location. The Assembly Rooms could be a beautiful venue, but the decor doesn’t match up to this. Feels more like an echoing canteen especially when small children run up and down the “wasted” space along the edge of the main room. The sound of their feet bounces off of the walls. The staff are helpful but clearly over stretched on a Saturday. The food was ok.. not much to make you go “wow!”. This was my first experience in ASK Italian, and it was rather, sadly, mediocre"

The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is amazing. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was good, as you would expect from a chain restaurant, but it suited us for a quick pretheatre meal

Rachel
The waitress that served us was really polite and excellent in her service. The food was delicious and enjoyed the experience. Love the concept of cake and coffee deals for person who wanted something small at the end of the meal. Would be nice to provide nuts free cake for this option. The gelato was nice and reminded me of my time in Venice. Lovely place to dine when in York should you fancy Italian cuisine
Oscar
Food wasn’t worth the price. Decent. My chicken on my salad may have been cooked that day but was reheated ..not good. Beautiful building. Our waitress was nice to us and pleasant. The table next to ours was two ladies that apparently kept requesting changes or more from our waitress. Every time she left the table she would make faces and show her exasperation with that particular table. A little unprofessional. It has the potential to be incredible and it just wasn’t
