  Standard, but nothing special

  Current

  I booked, I waited, I left without my main course or else we would have missed the curtain at the theatre. Lack of concern from the waitress - 'yes, it's on its way...' - but when??? We had to approach the manager, who was trying to get the food out from the kitchen; 'would we still like it?'?? With 5 minutes to eat?? Erm, no!!! In fairness, he did ask us to come back for a free meal after the theatre by way of apology, but having gone in 2 hours before the theatre to give us plenty of time and avoid this situation, I was most upset - especially as I had visiting family. Sad to say I will not return in a hurry - I have had better luck at the sister restaurant down the road and on this particular evening the competition opposite got my custom after the theatre and it was lovely.

  I didn't ask for this...

  Current

  I’m sorry to bust the “Ask” bubble but I would not recommend a visit to this restaurant. The décor is generic and lacks character, an atmosphere that is not helped by the fact that the staff squash in as many tables/people as possible. This feeling of being a mere statistic continues as you are rushed through your meal so that the next set of people can be brought in. The food is ok but not spectacular and is a far cry from proper Italian. I may be doing Ask an injustice but I didn’t feel as though I had been treated after a visit to this restaurant. If you are in the mood for good Italian grub, I suggest a visit to Bella Italia or Jamie’s Italian across the street.

  Good for groups

  Current

  Ask is a great place to take a group of friends because it has the sort of menu that appeals to a wide range of people.
  
  The food is good, the service is good, and if you've got a large party they have a downstairs room. You'd best make a reservation if you want a table at the weekends though, because Ask is a popular venue.

  Italian Heaven

  Current

  Lovely Italian grub! Great atmosphere and lovely decor. The chicken penne pasta dish with pine nuts is delicious and the deserts are well worth breaking a diet for!
