I visited ASK Italian Manchester on Monday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.
When we arrived, there was a queue to be seated. Although chairs and tables were available, we had to wait a long time before being shown to our table. Once seated, the service was very slow, and it took around an hour for our food to arrive.
At the end of the meal, I asked a member of staff to bring the card machine so I could pay the bill. Instead, I was told to scan a QR code on the table and use their payment system. I did not understand how it worked, so I approached the staff again and explained that we had a train to catch and were running late. Rather than helping us complete the payment quickly, the process was explained again, and it ended up taking around 15 minutes to pay the bill.
To make matters worse, a young staff member with curly hair was rude and unhelpful when we asked for assistance. The overall service was poor, slow, and frustrating. The experience was far below expectations, and I left feeling very disappointed. I will not be visiting again and would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

Could not be more impressed that Andreea remembers the whole order even the drinks. When I struggle to remember my own name. Would definitely recommend to everyone you will not be disappointed. The flavour of the Rissoto and portion size is always delicious the best I’ve ever had. Always receive a warm and friendly welcome by lovely, nice staff. Spotless clean and a lovely atmosphere it’s excellent value for money.

Had an extremely bad experience at this restaurant. The entire place was empty but made us wait for 15 minutes to get a table. Moreover, they took over 35 minutes to get one simple pasta. The food is good but honestly not worth the wait. The servers completely neglect you and you have to stare them down for a while to get their attention. Honestly NOT WORTH IT!

Good pizza, delicious drinks – the only reservation I have is about the pasta with mushrooms described as lasagna with mozzarella. The problem is that there were only trace amounts of cheese in my dish. When paying the bill I mentioned this to the waitress, who stated that I had ordered baked pasta, not lasagna, and that the cheese was definitely there. Of course it was, although I have doubts whether even 50g of grated cheese made it into that dish. Additionally, on the way out I heard her “complaining” to a colleague about my comment. Overall the dishes were tasty as I mentioned, and the service wasn’t the worst either (apart from the waitress’s comment to her colleague), however for that price next time I’d rather go to the neighbouring place that does ramen.

Unfortunately this was our first time visiting. It will also be our last. Orders placed quickly. Drinks took a little time. Starter not too long a wait. That's where it stopped.....over 1 hour 15 mins for the mains to arrive. We did ask where they were, as tables who arrived after us, were served before us. Keeping a 5 year old entertained for over an hour whilst hungry was not fun. 3 meals were ok. The spaghetti bolanaise wasn't. Pasta was hard! My mum would not complain *totally understand she should of!!* but didn't want another long wait for food. Asked for a take out box , dessert menu and bill at same time. As we had to be somewhere before it closed. Took a further 20min for box & bill. Explained to a different server I needed to pay bill
And was greeted with an eye roll & attitude. Some money was knocked off bill. But over all, 2 hr & 40 min for pasta, garlic bread & dessert is in our opinion ridiculous! The place wasn't full. It was actually quite when we arrived. Unfortunately a bad experience
