Ask Italian has been our favourite spot for our last year of Oxford. Matilde is amazing, she makes us feel so welcome every time. We see her so often that she now even remembers our exact order (Margherita with extra chillies and Pollo Roquito) before we ask! The pizzas are 10/10 and the customer service makes it very special. We would 100% recommend.

Came here for an alumni dinner and was absolutely blown away! Never eaten here before but will a million percent be back and highly reccomend. Service was excellent and friendly and professional. The house wine was superb and the garlic king prawn pasta was genuinely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The quality of the food well exceeds the price point and it looks like I’ve found a new fave. Well done ask Italian team!
