ASK Italian Review

Wonderful place for a couple to dine. Great well-rounded selection of Italian dishes and desserts.

Right near our hotel, we could smell the bread from the window. Dinner our first night was amazing, don't pass on the homemade rosemary and sea salt bread.
We enjoyed it so much stopped in another night just for bread and drinks.

My father was a patient at St Marys Stroke Unit. Luckily he was well enough to send me out for a Spaghetti Napolitana. I headed straight to ASK because I wanted to make sure I got him what he wanted. The staff at ASK were amazing. The atmosphere was relaxed yet buzzing and truly a pleasant place to be. Not only did I wait with a glass of their lovely fresh lemonade (on the house) , the pasta dad had requested was not on the menu but they made it for him anyway. The kindness and generosity of the front of house staff, in particular the manager who took my order and the barman was truly humbling. They knew why I was there and they bent over backwards to help. They deserve an award for their attitude and 5 star service. I will come back with Dad to say thank you. The pasta was delicious.

Sallicicia pizza was excellent and the service was very good!

I really like the food here, especially the Italian pasta! If the meal is still eaten then there must be some of their desserts! Never let you down! !

Lovely place, felt comfortable the food was good and nice place for kids too. Tiny bit pricy but good.

Went on a friday night. The pizzas came straightaway and the staff is polite. It is not the best italian restaurant but for a dinner with friends it is perfect.

There is little Italian, the pizza ingiudibile and even the kitchen is not the best.
Sorry because from the reviews it seemed a fantastic place (perhaps for those who have never eaten in Italy)
Sorry

Lovely food, very good service but the noice level in the restaurant is horrendous. You struggle to hear the person at your table,.

Food was amazing, quick and friendly service! We loved it!

The setting is nice, our waitress was very nice. The food is very good.

Nice spacious restaurant. Service not the best on our visit

The food was delicious, ample, reasonably priced and the service excellent. I tried several restaurants in the Paddington area and this was consistently the best. I highly recommend it.

The pizzas are magnificent, ditto for the starters. All nickel

The food here's amazing with really great service and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Very nice Italian restaurant. High quality food for a reasonable price. Service staff is very friendly. Food could be delivered little quicker. In the end a must do, if you are in Paddington and you are a fan of Italian food..

Fantastic place to relax and enjoy various Italian specialties. Highly recommended with very good value for money.

Place was nice, the food was good too, the service was a little slow but overall is a good place !!!

Great Vegan pizzas and chocolate dessert, vegan pasta as well!!!

They were out of many items the night we visited. The food was slow to arrive. The open kitchen staff were working very fast but I think they were greatly impacted by the number of ingredients not available.. The food we were able to order.was all pretty good.

Nice people, but the food is nothing to write home about. Go around the corner to the monkey puzzle instead.

Delicious wine, friendly staff, short waiting time and great variety with the menu. Overall a cozy and warm atmosphere and all very reasonably priced.

We have visit tis restaurant and the food wasn't very good. Also small portions and small pizza size. Have visit better restaurants in London.

Great food and sevice. They've revamped the restaurant and it's very inviting. Prices are good - always have a nosy on their website for their latest offers and vouchers.

Great atmosphere and great food. All reasonably priced

Great value, tasty Italian food. I'll certainly go back for more.

Very relaxed atmosphere with nice outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly and made good recommendations. Very impressed with the separate vegan menu. The pasta was healthy and tasted great, while the vegan tart from the dessert menu was surprisingly rich for a non-vegan restaurant.

Dishes are good (pasta and pizza) and prepared fresh. All waiters were nice and helpful.
Great for kids (small starter come very quickly, little game book offered).
The place to go for a nice meal close to Paddington.

A beautiful place in London serving us Turk waiter waiterurle also

Lovely food, great service plus very nice and clean

Nice ambience to chill for lunch / dinner and the staff are super friendly :) Love their cheese fonduta!

Predicable Italian fare. Nice and spacious interiors. Cheerful. Good service.

Everything started of great. Food arrived quickly and the service was prompt but the seafood past that my partner and I had was inedible, overcooked pasta, sauce lacking flavour and poor quality seafood. Quite frankly I almost choked on a piece of calamari. I will avoid

I got takeout twice while staying at a hotel near by. Both experience was off. However I think it was just cultural differences. Me being from Americas. I'll say the pastas don't taste like anything. After my first try I requested salt but they didn't have takeaway salt. In North America every restaurant have little packets of salt and pepper. I'm sure it would have tasted better with salt

Really nice family dinner , great food and great service.

Very good, lots of choice of fresh food, very nice staff

Very nice place, good prices, and the staff were lovely.

Reasonably priced restaurant with attractive student discount . Waitresses were very helpful with ordering and requests. Will definitely come again.

I love this for a quick or lengthy lunch in Paddington, I have had both! Its easy to get to, 2 minute walk from Paddington Station or Lancaster Gate Tube Station. The internal decor is light and airy and even if it is raining outside, it still feels light and inviting inside. The food is always fresh and well prepared, I am a fan of the Caprina Pizza, but have had some of the main dishes like calzone, lazagna and Belly Pork. On one occassion I had the pasta which was overcooked and they swiftly replaced it with an al dente dish. It never disappoints.

Pretty good Italian food conveniently located near Paddington station. We had buccatini carbonara and the burrata salad. Friendly service and brought open dining room.

A frequent visitor to this restaurant
Convenient for Paddington station
Never disappointed
Good food, lively atmosphere and recently updated menu

I honestly did not realise this place is part of a chain! it looks and feels unique, the staff is friendly and they greeted me nicely. The pizza was delicious and the service quick.

The interior was very spacious and trendy! Love the greens. The food was delicious too! I had the light carbonara and the person I was with had the linguine. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. It is kinda hidden away around the corner from Paddington station so was quite quiet when we went, but don't be fooled! The food is amazing! 100% recommend if you're in the area!

Very nice and modern environment. Very good food and nice staff. Highly recommended.

Good range of vegan options. Friendly servers. Good value. Nice atmosphere.

I have been there only once, and food was delicious.

Top Italian food! Very kind people. We want to come again.

Great service, food excellent. Great location near Paddington but still quiet and easy to get a table

Warm friendly welcome. Staff attentive and knowledgeable. Food was superb, really enjoyed it, even tried to copy the mushroom starter when back home it was soon yummy

Delicious pizzas
Not expensive

LOVED this place, especially the honeycomb cheesecake. Excellent gluten free menu if that's a requirement

Nice local and fantastic service. Kid friendly. The food was also good. Strong 4s.

Great Italian restaurant. The food was delicious and the price for London good. If it had not been our last night we would have eaten there again!

Very nice place, atmosphere, delicious food a friendly staff!
I would come again!

Atmosphere and service are great. Food is tasty but a bit too pricey for what you get

Was sat in a cold area right near the edge. Mains was brought out very quickly after nibbles were. Had the asparagus and pancetta carbonara, a top pick apparently, it was not brilliant. Was going to have a dessert but they took so long and didnt even offer me the menu I just got the bill

Great food , reasonable prices and staff very friendly.

Nice, family friendly restaurant. Decent meal and friendly service. Nice kids menu options.

nice cozy place to get something to eat, staff is nice and helped me out with my tube questions

Great atmosphere, bold and expansive. Food is ok. Not for Italian foodies but it passes!! Prices are very reasonable. Buttata caprese was great. I would go back.

They were very slow serving us. They do not speak Spanish
