Ask Italian

I am surprised to see bad reviews on here as my family's experience was wonderful. We had latecomers in our party and the staff was really patient about it. Food was hot and delicious and delivered promptly. There weren't many staff maybe that's why others have had issues, but our experience with our friendly waitress was lovely.

Really great food and service. We had a voucher to use here with a set menu, but it had lots of choice and the food was delicious! We had the arancini and chicken lecca-lecca, both of which were amazing starters. For mains, we had the chicken and mushroom risotto which was heavy but yummy, and finally for dessert we had the tiramisu and the honeycomb cheesecake, both of which were rich but delicious. Our servers were kind and friendly and it was a nice meal. Definitely recommend a visit! :)

We went on Tuesday evening. The place was two thirds fall. We were informed at the start that we would have to wait. The staff despite being very busy were attentive and helpful. The food was delicous. The only reason this review is 4 ibstead of 5 was the air conditioning. It felt colder than 18c. I would take a light jacket or jumper when I go again.

ASK in Rayleigh was a really good place. The access for my wheelchair was good, and so was the access to the toilets. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The restaurant was clean, bright, airy and comfortable. The portions were generous and, when I couldn't eat all of my main meal (superbly cooked pork.... Yummy and too good to waste!), they simply boxed it up for me to take home. Clearly I loved this ASK, parking was easy and I'm definitely going back!

Great experience this time and really friendly staff! Ok, first off I want to be clear that I have already reviewed this location and although the staff was friendly during that visit, it was really unclean!! BIG DIFFERENCE TODAY!! We were seated by Judit and I think she might have been the manager or duty manager; she had that management persona about - in a nice way! She was engaging from the moment we walked in, she encouraged us to pick our seat "anywhere you want to be comfortable" sadly this isn't often a choice given to patrons! Our server was Nathalie (blond), friendly polite and hustled herself around making sure everyone was happy, fed and watered. These two seemed to bounce off each other really well and they looked like a real team - the poor cook who smiled the who way through melting in that kitchen turned out some lovely food that was well presented. This team certainly need some recognition from their company, the service we received was how it should be, customer first!!! We even had our deserts made by Judit's fair hands; I noticed that she even made sure she had her catering hat and an apron - good to see someone taking food hygiene seriously. After a naff visit last year and not really wanting to return, I can honestly say I'm sold and will certainly be back again soon!
