ASK Italian

Great for gluten free and right next to the bus station!

Whilst quite cheap, convenient and convivial, our experience at ask left a lot to be desired. The waiting staff were excellent, which they needed to be as so much about the meal needed questioning. Firstly the tap water, which had a really strange taste and had to be returned. The second bottle of tap water was much better. But it left me feeling that maybe they were doing it deliberately to force us to buy soft drinks. Our main meals arrived. I had seabass and my husband had pasta. They dealt very well with a gluten- free inquiry. My side order of beans and peas was frozen so this also had to be returned. Once it was brought back. It was the right temperature and tasted quite nice. The worst thing about my meal though was the roast potatoes, which had clearly been cooked more than once before, probably cooked from frozen and were quite burnt. They were pretty much inedible. The sea bass was nicely cooked apart from the soggy limp skin. I didn't send these back to lack of time and I really didn't think they would improve the second time around. The cost was quite reasonable but I would have preferred my food to be decent. Well done to the waiting staff. Food needs a coat of looking at.
