I went to ASK looking for something to eat after being out most of the day and having quite an appetite. I ordered a Margherita pizza with a portion of fries topped with cheese and garlic. I’m really disappointed — my pizza was almost £14 and had no quality or freshness whatsoever. It tasted like a frozen pizza, there was no oregano as mentioned on the menu, and it was quite small.

The restaurant wasn’t even busy. The two young cooks looked bored and miserable, and the whole atmosphere was unwelcoming, which made the experience even worse.

I didn’t complain at the time because the people cooking didn’t seem to be trained chefs but rather young staff with little experience so no point to send the food back.

It’s frustrating how some places use the word Italian as if it guarantees quality, yet completely fail to deliver it. Charging those prices without proper training or good food is unacceptable.

Will start off by saying I am not one to leave bad reviews, I work in the industry and know how nitpick people can be but had a really mediocre experience here and charged £40 for the pleasure 👍 Starter was hot fried arancini, which tasted just okay but served with a fridge cold tomato sauce which was a bit strange. We had to ask for everything, salt, pepper, cutlery, parmesan as not on the table or offered freely. Restaurant was at maximum a quarter filled and tables around us left dirty for our whole duration there. Food also took a little longer than expected considering how quiet it was.

Have had better pasta at independents for a fiver. Save yourself the money. Staff sweet and friendly but otherwise the best thing was the chips and...
