Reviews note tasty dishes and standout servers at ASK Italian, but mention inconsistent service, occasional long waits and cleanliness concerns.
Great food and service was good up front although had to work to get attention to ask for the dessert menu. The sign for the toilets has been jumbled making it hard to find the baby change which was in a different place to the main toilets. Perhaps let parents know when we come in?
I have seen some of the poor reviews recently posted about this restaurant but our experience this evening was so very different to them. A good friendly welcome, excellent food served in a timely manner by a delightful waitress with a lovely manner and sense of fun. This was a real change from some of the disappointing places we have been to recently and we came away feeling really pleased about the choice we made. Would we go there again? After this evening's experience most definitely. Thank you to the staff at this restaurant for a pleasant evening out.
Not very clean passage to toilets disgusting. Toilets shabby and dirty. Did not get to food as walked out after nearly an hour waiting for it 'Manager ' then told us there was another 15 minute wait. Run by youngsters wthl what appears no experience or knowledge of how to run a restaurant.

Regulars sometimes request specific servers by name — a few team members have built local reputations for turning an ordinary evening into a memorable one, so if you have a preferred shift time ask the host whether a particular member of staff is working.
