Ask Italian - Bournemouth

Surly staff, served by 4 different waiters. was a jubilee meal (which I made them aware in the frame of booking), but I had clearly expected too much that we would receive additional care and attention as a result). Eating was good, but not amazing. no salt or pepper on the table. my friend asked for extra parmesan. she asked for pomodoro extra (based tomato sauce). never arrived. the waiter decided that she didn't understand a word and went into the bar or the servier area and hoped that we would forget if she had herself look absent/busy. to do that instead of asking us to repeat our question was unprofessional. Nobody thanked us for coming or seeing us at the door. overall I expect too much I think, but in a market that contains zizzi, bella italia, L’Osteria etc., etc., this chain really has to turn out to some way....it doesn’t!

Good people, eating was good, but a bit slow to get out, I made a deposit as it was busy as it was Valentine's Day night. very loud couples on the table next to us and tables were a bit together for my lust. overall and I would go back, but maybe not for valentine night.

We love to ask italian that eating is delicious, the service is fast and polite, the authentic Italian feeling is wonderful and the limonade is simply the heaven. it is a tad pricy so not somewhere we often go, but for a special occasion its first choice. large menu for children too, even my picky food is pampered for the choice.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a variety of vegan options at ASK. The service was good and the food was delicious. They use Mozzarisella cheese on their pizzas and also serve items from the 'This Isn’t brand. It's a great spot for a relaxed dinner.

This restaurant is part of the Ask Italian chain, which can be found throughout the U.K. The food is decent, although not necessarily exceptional, as one might expect from a chain restaurant. We had previously dined at another Ask Italian location in London and found that the quality of the food can vary depending on the specific restaurant. It's always a plus to find a separate vegan menu, which Ask Italian offers. While some items on the menu may seem basic, the overall quality of the food elevates the dining experience. The menu includes traditional pasta dishes, customizable pizzas with a mozzarella-style cheese, a selection of salads, and even a children's menu. While Ask Italian may not be considered a high-end vegan Italian restaurant, we would definitely dine at this chain again.
