As a food reviewer, I was captivated by the range of delectable dishes on the menu. From the Linguine con Frutti di Mare, a luxurious seafood pasta bursting with the fresh flavors of prawns, mussels, clams, and crayfish, to the creamy embrace of the Classic Carbonara adorned with crispy pancetta, each plate is a testament to Italian culinary artistry. Vegetarians are equally catered for with the Vegan Spaghetti Al Pomodoro, a simple yet robust dish featuring ripe plum tomatoes, fragrant garlic, and fresh basil.
But no visit to ASK Italian is complete without indulging in their irresistible desserts. The Chocolate Etna is a chocolate lover’s dream—a gooey fondant topped with a dark chocolate dome and a river of hot toffee sauce that melts away temptation.

I recently visited Ask Italian Lakeside with colleagues for my birthday and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes that were beautifully presented. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely meal by the lakeside. I also want to give a special shout-out to the host, Zim, who was incredibly great. Their warm welcome and attentive service really made the evening special.
I had a fantastic experience at ASK when taking my mother out for her birthday, and a huge part of that was thanks to the exceptional service from Charlotte. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. She was attentive and friendly - everything ran smoothly. Thank you Charlotte!
Such a lovely spot! We had an amazing meal here and were so impressed with the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff were super accommodating and happy to chat and make recommendations. We were served by Charlotte who was so attentive and made sure all our dietary needs were met. We don’t eat out as much as we used to due to allergies but were pleasantly surprised with this service. The staff took the time to speak to our son and include him when taking his food order even while being rushed off their feet, very busy evening. All in all a great experience will be returning.

I really enjoyed my visit at Ask Italian today. I had just come back from Italy and was still in the mood to eat some pasta. My food was very nice and the waiter Robertas offered a good recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ll be back definitely!
The pasta was incredible and we had friendly waiters checking how we were getting on too! Would come again.
Fantastic food, very nice staff even when my partner decided to spill her drink all over me :/ (accidentally she says). Can't praise the service enough. Food was brought out quickly servers had great knowledge of the food and asked about allergies etc. Ask Italian were only too happy to accept our Tesco clubcard vouchers though it should be known before attending the restaurant that if using vouchers they cannot be put toward the cost of drinks, only meals. Great evening! Thanks!
Always enjoy a nice Italian! The carbonara here was gorgeously cooked and tiramisu was lovely for dessert. The wait was not long at all, service lovely and decor as always cute.
