We had such a lovely experience at ASK Italian Oxford! The food was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly, kind and attentive. They were especially brilliant with our allergies and made us feel really reassured and looked after.
To top it all off, there was a power cut while we were there, but the staff handled everything so well and remained friendly and helpful despite the disruption.
They’re also currently doing kids eat free during the summer holidays, which is such a fantastic bonus for families. We’d definitely recommend ASK Italian Oxford and will happily return! ❤️

Coco was the perfectly kind and attentive server. Great food for all our family. But especially the gluten-free children's menu with a variety of options was a rare find. You don't see that very often.

I absolutely love ASK Italian! This was my second visit, and it never disappoints. I tried both the pasta and the pizza, and they were absolutely delicious. The pasta was creamy, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked, while the pizza was fresh with a thin, crispy base and plenty of cheese.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was great too. As a bonus, students can get a discount with the Student Beans app, which makes it even better. I'll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend! 🍕🍝
