Place is looking stunning. They really impressed me with their service. We ordered online. Food arrived fast. Home made pasta was great.

A lovely atmosphere to the resteraunt in a stunning location. The food was good quality, although poorly presented and lacking in portion sizes. The waiting staff where attentive, however upon payment and splitting of the bill there became quite abit of confusion and I would suggest maybe more training in this particular area.

fast, friendly and efficient waitresses. i would recommend the fresh pasta. it was so tasty. as well as the homemade raspberry lemonade. the venue left me speechless, when step inside, you’ll know what i mean!

Wow. Such a beautiful and romantic restaurant. I had very nice, icy lemonade which cost me less than £3 per small bottle. I skipped starters. For main, I had prawn and crayfish tagliatelle which was really yummy. I finished my meal with very light mini tiramisu slices, Italian gelato and waffle base in my £6.95 tiramisu sundae.

Went as a couple on a Monday for lunch. Used my taste card so got a nice saving. Stunning building, excellent service. Chocolate gnocchi was delicious!

Can't rate food 5 stars, as it wasn't good enough to compare with other ASK Italian restaurants. The service was great. Really nice building.

We recently celebrated our second anniversary at ASK Italian in York, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant's ambiance and warm atmosphere set the stage for a wonderful evening.
The service at ASK Italian was exceptional, but what made our evening truly special was the attention and care we received from Lumi, the charming manager who greeted us and seated us at our table. Her genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel valued as guests, and she ensured that our every need was met throughout the evening. Lumi's professionalism and friendly demeanor truly elevated our dining experience.
As for the food, we were blown away by the exquisite flavors and presentation of each dish. The menu offered a wide variety of Italian classics, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The attention to detail in the preparation of the food was evident, and the flavors were perfectly balanced.
We highly recommend trying the Cheese Fondue and Mushrooms Al Forno – it was a true culinary delight. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service we received.
Overall, our anniversary dinner at ASK Italian was an unforgettable experience. The combination of excellent service, delectable food, and the personal touch from Lumi made it a truly memorable evening. We are already looking forward to our next visit and will definitely be recommending ASK Italian to our friends and family.
Thank you, ASK Italian, for creating such a wonderful dining experience and helping us celebrate our special occasion in style!

Visited with our 2 children. We were made to feel very welcome. The children enjoyed having a complimentary 'shot' with us 😊. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The building is beautiful and unique. We would highly recommend ASK.

Beautiful building, just not what you expect from an Ask italian at all so we love booking here when we come to York, brilliant that they are on tastecard so you can get 2-4-1 on starters, Mains and deserts, staff are good and attentive and food comes out quickly along with being really nice

This place has the wow effect for sure, if you’ll wait to get seated, you have things to stare at while waiting ahaha. The food was very tasty and the staff very prompt and kind. Recommend if you are in York 🤍

Claire Kitchen
Lady with short hair on front desk is absolutely wonderful, so welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious. The lighting was not great making reading the menus quite difficult... ended up using torch on phone or little fake candle on table to read!

Atmosphere is beautiful and service is really good. The pasta’s sauce is rich tomatos but the pasta is too over cooked.

My family and I went for a meal last night and had to leave a review.
The food was absolutely lovely ,the building is very impressive but i probably wouldn't have written a review for that alone as you go out and expect good food that is the point of leaving your own kitchen.
The reason I'm leaving this review is the service. We were served by a young man that I think was called Harley and he was fantastic.
Nothing was too much trouble, he made us laugh, he obviously has so much passion for his job as he talked us through most of the dishes on the menu.
Harley is an absolute asset to your restaurant. You should be very proud.
Well done Ask on your service and food.

Place is lovely, my girlfriend and I came for our 4 year anniversary today, we came at 5 o’clock so we missed the dinner time rush (perfect time to go), we got served by Ed and Dawn, both lovely people, who made our experiences worthwhile.
Highly recommend we had a full 3 course. Food was lovely, so was the atmosphere and the overall experience!

Visited the York restaurant yesterday evening. The building is beautiful and the food was delicious, many thanks to the kitchen staff. We had a great evening and our waiter Harley was so helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu, even giving us the background of where some of the ingredients in the dishes come from. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service. Our waitress was great. As a group of 11 had booked in advance, they put us in a lovely place surrounding the decorative. Beautiful building, a great place to take pictures! The staffs are extremely friendly and communicate directly with us by using gestures. After all, we are all deaf. We had a great time here and definitely will come back here again.
The foods are delicious and fresh.
Thank you for making our night fantastic!

Lovely meal at this branch of ASK, food was great and it’s a lovely interior. Service was excellent, special mentions to Dawn who greeted us and was super friendly and cheerful, and Georgia our waitress who was excellent, definitely recommend this restaurant
Pam Sutherland
This was our second visit and again we were really pleased, the food was excellent I am gluten free and I ordered the pepperoni pizza which was first class the best I have eaten anywhere normally they are quite dry and floury this wasn’t it was really flavoursome, good waitress service and good atmosphere, will be visiting again.

I went here yesterday for Mothers day. I'd been on Mothers day before and even got a little goody bag last time. I was also able to use my discount card last time. This time, however, I was a bit disappointed. I was asked if I wanted the special mother's day menu, which i declined as I didn't want a full 3 courses. I did treat myself to a glass of prosecco as I was under the impression that my discount card would be honoured for the food. This turned out not to be the case. Because it was mother's day, despite me ordering from the normal menu, discount was not allowed. A visit to ask is always a treat for me and my family but the refusal of my discount card left a bitter taste in my mouth. And to add insult to injury I was given discount cards for my next visit! I don't think I'll bother as I get the same discount as pizza express and will go there for my next treat.

Came here for a Valentines meal and I couldn't fault anything from the second we entered to the moment we left. The food was delicious and full of flavour, the service was spot on and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to return.
Sarah-Jane Chadwick
The building is worth the visit more than the food. It was enjoyable but in my opinion typical chain of restaurants food. I've eaten at authentic Italian way Momma makes it for less. It was busy, but felt order to service was delayed. I didn't like the automatically added service charge either. That's a beware for anyone who doesn't check the bill before handing your card/cash over.

Just been here for a meal with the other half and kids the kids got a meal deal for 6.50 which was great my partner opted for a calzone which was beautiful I got the carbonara and didn't like it I found it quite bland and didn't like the pancetta that was in it but I'm the fussiest person ever when it comes to carbonara and it was not the chefs fault at all when the dishes were cleared the lovely waitress asked what was wrong I just told her it wasn't to my taste and was a personal choice she asked if I wanted anything else instead I said no she then came over asked if I wanted a dessert on the house which I thought was a really nice gesture I opted for the Etna and omg it was amazing overall a good meal and would go back if in the area customer service was spot on �x
Becky Jeffrey
Ate here with today with my friend and had an absolutely beautiful meal. Could not fault anything. Our waiter, Paul, was so lovely and accommodating. Will definitely visit the next time I’m in York and would highly recommend to anybody �����

Benjamin Stowe
When for my birthday meal with the family, even tho we had made a booking we were left waiting at the door for a while. Food was good, the service was ok. Had to wait a bit for the food to come but then it did it all came quickly
Melanie Pashley
Lovely meal� my friend was also a vegan was happy with the menu, but when asking for a coffee after the meal the waiter said they wasn't no vegan milk ei soya milk or coconut milk
Kayleigh Erica
Fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the staff were really great. To say the place was really busy the visit on a whole was great. Will definitely be visiting again.
Caroline Elizabeth Macdonald
Our mothers day meal was fantastic! We didnt feel rushed and our food was all freshly prepared. Our server Harry was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. A total star! We'll definitely be back. x
David Fearick
Cannot recommend this please enough. Nothing too much trouble.....Manager, staff, helpful, friendly even gave my wife a special sweet as it is her birthday.
Great venue in the old Assembly Rooms which were renovated last October time.
Not our first visit and certainly not the last.
Aileen Crawford
We were in Ask yesterday. The meal was mediocre. The starters were very good but the main course was cold when it arrived after a long wait. For the price the helping were poor. I had trouble finding any seafood amongst the plate of pasta We certainly won't be going back.
Emma Richardson
Hi
We came tonight and our main server was Kathryn. The building was gorgeous and great atmosphere.There was a valentines menu, but also the normal menu , which i loved as many places only offer a set menu when it's an occassion.
Kathryn was super helpful, and accomodating with my ingredient changes. Bubbly and professional.
We will Definatley be back. Thankyou Emma and Gav xx
Maria Mawson
Joined a long queue but were seated very quickly. We noticed that the manager was very hands on. Drinks served promptly. Had lobster and prawn pasta. Plenty of sea food on the plate. Food very hot. My chocolate Etna was amazing. The young lady looking after our table was very attentive. No complaints from any of us four guests from Derby, Derbyshire.
Jenna J. Stones
Visited here last night for our daughter's 13th birthday meal (booked a few months ago via email - prompt and friendly response). Absolutely lovely evening. The food was delicious, the Christmas atmosphere was lovely and the man that looked after our table was great too! Really looked after us all. Our daughter and her friends had a great time. A lovely surprise too that the chocolate cake was brought over and the staff and other diners sang 'Happy Birthday'! Cannot wait to return! A huge thank you to all involved in making our daughter's 13th birthday so special. I can highly recommend. Thank you!!
Jill Mason Milner
Fantastic place to eat. Atmosphere is busy and vibrant and they have an excellent choice of gluten free pizza and pasta. Get yourselves there
Maria Lodge

Clarke Odonnell
Not a bad meal not the best I've had for the prices.but service was good we didn't have to wait ages for our meal if I ever went again would have to be some sort of offers on
Theresa Tinlin
A visit to york isn’t a visit without going to Ask, the surroundings are fab. The food is reasonably priced and cooked to perfection. We have been going for several years and have never had a bad meal.
