ASK Italian - Ipswich in Ipswich

I've been here twice now. I'm normally not a fan of chain restaurants but the food here is amazing. Both times we have ended up having three courses. Very spacious, nice decor and the staff have always been friendly and can tell they are working tirelessly.

Upon arrival I ordered a glass of the fresh lemonade however I was given a sprite instead. When I mentioned this to the manager he was quick to bring two glasses of the fresh lemonade and allow the table to keep the Sprite also. Great customer service and delicious food!

Always liked Ask, and had a good meal in there again last night (ipswich cardinal park one), one waitress in particular Lauren was exceptionally happy and helpful and a lovely lady, the manager (I think that’s who he was) could maybe be a little happier, a smile and a quick natter doesn’t take a lot and goes a long way. The vegan dough bites are fab! (Had then before), they are a starter but I wanted them and a salad on the side as a main, but my only vegan option for that was a basic small side salad, how about something plant based/meat substitute added to it and also a proper side salad rather then as I had to do was to pay for two small side salads to make one full size one. My other issue that all be it the vegan options that are on the menu are excellent, theres not enough choice, also why do I have ask for a separate menu as a vegan that is presented in a black folder which also contains allergy options, kind of makes vegans and anyone with allergies feel like there are slightly alien to have a ‘special’ black plastic folder/book given to them, it’s choice for the above or not if it’s allergies but neither should feel alienated or odd. All constructive advice, and I will continue using Ask but the above would make the experience much better 😊

Lovely restaurant and great food however there were a few dishes missing on the day we went, could have just been a stock issue that day. Very friendly staff and service.

Service was very good. However the food was not up to their previous standard. Pizza only had cheese in the centre and the dough was very dry. Pasta dish had very little flavour. Disappointing meal.

The n'duja dough balls starter is amazing, you do get loads though, not that it's a bad thing but good to know. Unfortunately, the Christmas pizza wasn't great. Don't know if it was just an off day, but service was rather slow too.

Blown away with how unappreciated this place is. I was here for someone elses birthday (their choice of restaurant) and i thought to myself "really?" When i saw she'd said we were going to ask italian. But wow was this incredible, my girlfriend and i had the same pizza so i cant speak for all of their options but the one i had was very nice and light, with some interesting flavour combinations rather than a standard boring pizza it tasted more unique. Their garlic bread was sensational, with nice amounts of garlic not overpowering the dish, and not greasy and buttery like garlic bread can be. Their chips are pretty much the best i can remember in my life, they were a stand out part of the meal, triple cooked and lovely and crispy just how i like them. Also i had desert and that was very nice too, i dont remember the name but its the one where they melt the chocolate with a hot sauce to reveal the ice cream and cake underneath, was very nice and rich but not too sickening, a very good balance. Also to mention the staff and service were excellent, with no complaints from myself.Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food and very good service! Enjoyable evening.

Always good to pop in this Italian restaurant, I do this from time to time, especially after movie in cinema, seafood pasta and zucchini is a delicious choice

Lovely food. Attentive service but not warm and friendly. Maybe I'm fussy. It was just rather frosty and official...but efficient, just made me a little uncomfortable and guarded and I rarely feel that way. We were the only customers in the place at the time. Great gluten free options.
