Your local ASK is a place where you can celebrate moments that are part of your everyday and moments you’ll treasure forever – from catch-ups to triumphs, milestones and emotional reunions.

Although we may be a large family of 65 Italian restaurants across the UK, every ASK serves its own unique community. Many of our restaurants feature bespoke artwork; created to reflect the spirit of the community and drawing on the beauty of an Italian counterpart. Every one different but all with the same warm Italian welcome.

We take our inspiration from the Italian way of life, putting our heart and soul into the details. So that when you come to our restaurants, you can relax, unwind and be yourself.

Our food always begins with inspiration from Italy – maybe an ingredient, a tradition or a well-loved dish. Our menu is as diverse as the people who come through our doors. From great Italian classics with added ‘wow’, to non gluten pizzas and vegan swaps that even the meat-eaters love.

Being influenced by Italy doesn’t just mean Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh tomatoes (although we’re pretty passionate about those too). We like to add a few bold and playful touches, like the Italians themselves. So we bring you the classics with a twist; putting a dollop of purple basil pesto on our pasta, or finishing a decadent dessert with extra sauce. It’s all part of creating life-affirming moments around the table that lift your mood and lighten your load.

Our menu is full of  exciting ASK Italian restaurant dishes, from Prima Pizzas and mouth-watering Pasta, to adventurous salads and indulgent desserts.

We had a little fondue for starters and the beef brisket pasta and the grande lasagna for mains. Both were delicious and fresh, but really small portions. It seemed to be high quality, but the price didn't fit the size of the meal. The staff was really friendly and although you can order and pay online (QR-Code on the table) they were attentive and checked on us regularly. The homemade lemonade was great and looked so nice in those little bottles. So overall it was nice food, but a bit too pricey for the small plates.

Went for a birthday, booked beforehand. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Seating is nice, not many customers tho, was quiet. We ordered a range of pastas, for a place advertised as Italian, the dishes were here very mediocre. Nothing special, most of the dishes lacked flavor. They weren’t bad, just not great. The pizza however was pretty good. Overall, wouldn’t mind going again but not a go to.

This place was a real delight. It was early evening when we called in, so it wasn’t particularly busy, but still had a really nice atmosphere. The first question we were asked was about food allergies and when I said yes, we were given their allergies handbook so I could check my choices. We started with the vegan garlic bread, which was very nice. I had the linguini con fruiting de mare and my wife had a chicken and mushroom pizza. My food was really excellent, very enjoyable. My wife had half of her pizza and took the rest back in an Ask Italian doggie bag. The beer was standard , but very nice. The decoration was good too. If you are in Canterbury and like Italian, this is the place to go.

Had a beautiful meal here to celebrate a special occasion and we felt thoroughly spoiled. The lady who served us was lovely (our receipt stated the name Zdenka, so we hope that's her name!). Other staff were really friendly too and there was a great atmosphere. They were extra careful in relation to my allergies and we really appreciate the great care taken of us while we were in the restaurant.

Food was fantastic. Service was fantastic. Atmosphere was very bland felt like I was eating in an empty unfurnished house. The decorations are boring, it felt too dark when the weather was nice and sunny outside. There was no background music. Couldn't see the beautiful river next to it at all. Felt very congested in there, despite the good food and service I just kept having the feeling of wanting to get out ASAP to get some air. I felt like the next table could hear me think.
