Visited as 4 with our kids. Food was okay though everything was very slow although not too busy. Orders came in about 30 mins, add another 20 for kids’ deserts.

WONDERFUK SERVICE & GENEROUS portions. Stumbled into Ask Italian as a family of 4 after a very long two days of travel delays at Gatwick. Service was so kind and friendly and attentive, including to our two kids. Meals were delicious, enjoyed in the smoke-free courtyard and thought the kids meal with three courses for £7.95 was the best value we’d seen in the UK.

got food poisoning from their pasta, had never eaten mussels before so i didn’t know that they were supposed to have the beard removed. many of mine had beards which meant that they were cleaned improperly. devastating introduction into seafood. currently writing this with a mild fever, which is such a shame because the service was lovely. maybe avoid their seafood menu, i’d still consider visiting if improper food handling doesn’t concern you
