We regularly use Ask Italian in Truro because the food is excellent and the menu wide and interesting.. On this occasion the restaurant was quiet for a Sunday but Chris our waiter was friendly and expert at his task. I added 4* for food as my Stomboli pizza wasn't as hot as it would normally be on this occasion unusually, service was good.. We will be going again soon..

Our date night here was everything we hoped for: delicious food, great ambiance, and exceptional service. The staff even brought out a small dessert with ‘Happy Anniversary’ written on it. “We’ve been eating here for years, and it never misses. The flavors are consistent, and the team treats every guest like family.

Our visit unfortunately started off on the wrong foot as we were delayed by an unexpected road closure and couldn't notify the restaurant because the phone line is an AI assistant that seemingly can't connect you to a human (I tried 4 times and each time got stuck in a loop.)
When we arrived, the server told us that they could not cater to my friend's onion allergy (which I mentioned on the booking) because it wasn't one of the allergies they have in their folder. We were still given the folder, however this did not contain details for the full menu nor of the ingredients so was of limited use. This server also told us that there was no way of the kitchen knowing what was in the sauces because they were made off-site. My friend had been here before and had previously picked 3 dishes off the menu for the server to check with the kitchen, but our server refused to do this and even implied that he would report the member of staff who had, if we could remember who it was (thankfully, we couldn't.) We were treated with annoyance bordering on contempt by this server who kept refusing to check with the kitchen. Thankfully another server took over, who was much more friendly but still not particularly knowledgeable about the contents of the food. We ended up risking it on a dish my friend had eaten before, but weren't filled with confidence.
I had also requested a large print menu as I am visually impaired, but this was never acknowledged or provided. I didn't feel comfortable asking for one after the original aerver failed to take an allergy seriously, so ended up using the online menu on my phone.
The food was tasty and the portions were very good, so this put a more positive slant on our visit. However, I wish ASK Truro had contacted me or not accepted my booking as I gave more than 24 hours' notice of the allergy and all staff seemed to have been briefed but remained unable to help. Had we not had a gift voucher to use, we would have chosen somewhere else given the allergy response.
