i recently ordered one pot of ragu pasta from ask italian because i was looking forward to having a nice meal. the ordering process was simple and easy to use, and my food arrived quickly and in good condition. when i opened the bag, i was expecting to see the one pot of ragu pasta that i had ordered. however, i was very surprised to discover that there were actually two pots of ragu pasta inside. i checked my order again to make sure i had not accidentally ordered two, but it clearly showed that i had only purchased one.
this unexpected surprise made me very happy. receiving an extra pot of pasta was a kind mistake, and it made my experience even better than i expected. the packaging kept the food warm and fresh, and everything looked very well prepared. the ragu pasta tasted amazing. the sauce was rich, full of flavour, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. every bite was enjoyable, and it was clear that care had gone into preparing the meal.
because i had two pots instead of one, i was able to save the extra one for later, which meant i could enjoy another delicious meal without having to order again. this was a pleasant bonus that i really appreciated. even without the extra portion, i would have been happy because the quality of the food was excellent, but receiving more than i had expected made the experience even more memorable.
overall, i had a fantastic experience with ask italian. the food was delicious, the delivery was quick, and the unexpected extra pot of ragu pasta was a wonderful surprise. i was extremely satisfied with my order and felt that i received excellent value. i would happily recommend ask italian to my friends and family because of the high quality of the food and the positive experience i had. i will definitely be ordering from them again in the future, and i hope to enjoy their food many more times.

These were the worst carbonara pasta I've ever had. I really regret ordering from this restaurant. I honestly think they forgot to make the sauce because it was nothing more than plain boiled pasta with olive oil. Very disappointing, and I definitely won't be ordering again.😡

My partner and I always go to Ask Italian as our first choice when we have a bit of spare money as they do a vegan mozzarella which is absolutely amazing. I can sate my cravings for garlic pizza bread every time we visit and then double up with extra carbs with the vegan pizza main!
My partner always goes for the mushroom starter and a truffle mushroom pizza main dish as she is vegetarian.
Sunday was my partners 30th so we counted pennies and decided to book last minute.
I'm not sure if you've changed chefs at all but the food was absolutely outstanding and has definitely gone up in quality since our last visit!
With smiley and friendly service from Zara she made sure we had everything we needed for the evening with her attentive service — including bringing my partner some free ice cream with a candle in!
We were so happy we could visit again for such a special occasion but over the moon that the experience has raised in quality for that authentic Italian feel with the atmosphere, food and service.
We'll always be back!
Molto bene!
