A beautiful restaurant with a lovely, calming vibe, incredibly clean and well presented.
The children and I were greeted by a very polite gentleman, seated us, ensuring he asked about allergies. That I did appreciate due to a severe allergy, thank you😊
We decided on the Christmas set menu, several options were not available, however this did not hinder as there was so much to choose from. The best Christmas set menu I have seen, plenty of delicious options.
We were served by Bobbi & Phil, incredibly polite, friendly and attentive🤩
The food was absolutely delicious and amazing, especially the desserts. Please try the Tiramisu or the Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Fabulous service, amazing food and atmosphere.
Surrounded by a multitude of shops to have a fantastic shopping day. Then pop in to Ask Italian for a bite to eat - perfect!

To note: We have visited this restaurant many times after the above review. It never falters on their continual warm welcome upon arrival. The food/drinks never disappoints, must try is the new King Prawn Pasta 🦐- delicious! Followed by a dessert - the Lemon 🍋
The Head Chef is a delightful and polite Gentleman, ensuring all foods are top notch! The staff - Phil, Ben, Ellie, Eleanora (Ellie) and all super chefs are very attentive and friendly.

"I've never personally been into Ask Italian before but I'm so glad I did today at the Merry Hill store, My server Sophie was polite, helpful and overall a happy atmosphere to have around when dining on decadent desserts and savoury treats.
My only concern was that my starters came out a little cold, but the flavours were there so I can't really knock the quality ❤️
Definitely will be coming back 😍🥰
Update: Came back again today, Service is top notch, food was INCREDIBLE and I have to say they've really become a great restaurant, Many thanks to Phil and Ellie for being our servers :)"
