  “My husband and I stopped by for coffee yesterday evening, and unfortunately our experience was spoiled by the service from the blonde lady who appeared to be a manager or supervisor, as she wasn’t wearing the standard staff uniform. While the rest of the staff were friendly and polite, her attitude was extremely rude and unwelcoming. Good customer service starts with treating guests with respect, and sadly that was completely missing. Someone with such poor customer service skills shouldn’t be in a customer-facing role. Staff who interact with guests should be polite, professional, and welcoming. I hope management addresses this, as the rest of the team made a much better impression.”

  “I loved the chaos and noisy dining area catering to kids of all ages from 4 to 84 years old. People of all background converge to enjoy delicious Italian classics and some modernized dishes. The lemon tart with raspberry coulis is to die for! Service was wonderful and kind despite the hectic dinner rush. Would highly recommend.”

  “The restaurant was below our expectations, but the highlight of our visit was Alfred. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our time there. His positive attitude and excellent customer service left a lasting impression. Thank you, Alfred, for your outstanding service. You truly deserve recognition.”

  “I was truly impressed with how the ASK Italian team handled my milk allergy. After I mentioned my allergy at the door, I was given a binder with a full breakdown of allergens for every dish on the menu, enabling me to order with confidence. When my main dish arrived, it included a "made with your allergy in mind" sticker for additional peace of mind. I will definitely add this restaurant to my list of "safe" venues for group lunches and dinners moving forward.”

  “Great Location, fantastic experience as I turned up without a booking one Saturday recently, 06/06/2026 if I recall...super helpful and friendly upon reception, made a space for me and meal that followed - pizza + dessert = 1st class. A further two staff very helpful and friendly too, all in all in such a busy spot a great experience. Highly recommend 100% - go visit! Cheers, Julian.”

  “This is a large Italian restaurant, with a good menu and bar. It even has air-conditioning and a big loo. There was a lone server when we went there for lunch, and he was a bit stressed at the sight of 5 Indians - such is our reputation! The food was good, service was slow. The beers were cold and bottled; they had not cracked out the beers on tap during the day. Order the pizzas (what else) and pastas (no surprises), and their beef and pork dishes are melt-in-the-mouth yummy. Pair your food with Italian Peroni beer unless you want a tongue-twister of a wine.”

  “Went to eat there twice during my stay. First time we didn't book a table but was yet to seated fairly quickly although it was a clearly busy night. We get served by a very kind waitress who still smiled even though she clearly was stressed due to high request for the restaurant. The food came out extremely quickly compared to how packed it was. It tasted delicious and both times were we satisfied with our food.”

  “We come here every year for a Christmas dinner with a group of around 50 people, the place is vibrant and has great atmosphere and Christmas decorations. The food is delicious and their Christmas menu is really good. Staff is kind and attentive. Definitely recommend for celebrations and bigger groups.”

  “Had a really nice experience at ASK Italian! I ordered the pasta with mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious—creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The portion was just right, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The service was great, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. Would definitely come back for another comforting plate of pasta!”

  “Bland. Little toppings. Thin. Overpriced. Worst pizza & pasta I've ever had. You'd be way better off with a frozen pizza or dominos. No salt or cheese at the table. The older lady taking our order seemed inpatient and disrespectful. Other staff did seem friendly though. I would avoid this place like the plague.”
