Ask Italian in Oxford

I got some lunch from here on a late Thursday afternoon. The food was delicious, I got prawn pasta and some cheesy chips. The pasta from fresh and tasty, the fish was too. The chips tasted like triple cooked chips and the garlic mayo was delicious too. Fantastic service from the staff. Lovely and warm interior and atmosphere. Great job guys and girls.

VIP customer service. Andrea was helpful and very friendly. Thanks.

This was my first visit to Ask Italian I had the lasagna and Zucchini fretti Both cooked to perfection. Love the idea of the January perk

The experience was amazing. My mate knows your restaurant very well. I cannot believe how much influence had Andrea on our date. Please A. Don’t ever quit, if you do let us know where you are!! Thank you team !

The restaurant experience was disappointing. I was served a cup with visible lipstick stains, which was extremely unhygienic. When I brought it to the staff’s attention, their attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, with no apology at all. This lack of basic hygiene and poor service is unacceptable.

Andreea was amazing, she couldn’t have done more. Thank you 💜

Coco our waiter was amazing! It was my birthday and he made it very special by bringing us desert with a candle! We had such a great time! We will be back. Thank you!

Khadija - most excellent server - polite, friendly and super efficient 💋

Andrea was so nice and welcoming and very helpful. Super great service

We had a lovely meal and pur waitress Adreea was absolutely lovely

Entró por suerte. Hoy Quizás 8 personas esperaron durante casi 10 minutos para que alguien reconociera que estábamos allí cuando estábamos de pie en el lugar que dijo que esperara aquí para sentarse. El personal nos ignoró por completo, ya que estaban demasiado ocupados charlando entre sí sobre cosas personales El restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío después de 10 minutos de espera viéndolos charlar nos dimos por vencidos al otro lado de la carretera a Bella Italia Y se sentaron inmediatamente y también reconocieron a pesar de Bella Italia estar más ocupado Puedo ver fácilmente por qué

Andreea was absolutely amazing and such an attentive member of staff! Would come again

Lovely experience. Great service. Very attentive to allergy. Good food, limited veggie and vegan options.

My food was incredible and as described I would love to see the seasonal items to stay in fifteenth sections and more of the items that are described like more onions in dishes that contain them

La comida era muy agradable y sabrosa. Personal muy amable y muy servicial. El restaurante es acogedor y limpio, sin duda lo recomiendo

Amazing service like always, food delicious 😋 thank you Matilde for your attention ☺️

I went with my partner for a lovely meal. The food arrived fast and was delicious. I want to especially thank Andrea, our waitress for having served us very professionally. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was good.

I come here alot and never had a bad meal. The food is reasonably priced and the staff is always nice. The location of the restaurant is also very good as it is close to the centre and also the theatre. The tiramisu is my favourite dessert, I definitely recommend trying it!

Decepcionante. Olor muy fuerte a aguas residuales y lugar carecía de ambiente. Comida agradable pero cara para lo que era. Personal agradable. Pero el servicio lento.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at ASK Italian, and I have to say that Andrea made the experience truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, her warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a fantastic evening. Andrea was attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. She provided excellent recommendations from the menu, and it was clear she had a genuine passion for the food and the overall dining experience. Her knowledge of the dishes and wine pairings was impressive and added a special touch to the meal. What stood out most was Andrea’s genuine kindness and care. Whether it was making sure our dietary preferences were accommodated or simply checking in with a smile, she went above and beyond to make us feel valued as guests. The food was absolutely delicious, but it was Andrea’s outstanding service that made this visit truly unforgettable. If you’re dining at ASK Italian, I can’t recommend Andrea enough—she’ll make your experience one to remember!

Very nice food and very nice serving from Andreea :) Highly reccomended

Fabulous service and great gluten free options!

Great food and service. Coco was a great host.

Food was amazing and the service was really good

Food was sublime. Very good service and nice atmosphere.

Andreea was amazing and quick on her feet. She was very polite and kind. Loved our dine in experience here , keep going Andreea 💕

Was served by the lovely Andreaa, amazing food and amazing service!

Had a good meal, wait staff was very friendly, especially Gabriel who took great care of our table

The prices are too high even by today’s standards. £18 for a pizza is a joke — if you’re charging me that much it needs enough meat topping to not look like a cross-contaminated margarita. The staff were also very slow to take our dessert orders despite the restaurant having emptied out and apparently had no intention of coming to our table to take the bill. Unfortunately was stuck with this as there was little choice available for a large group booking on a Saturday, but would definitely not return

We just wanted a dessert and glass of wine to finish the evening but at 9.30pm on a Saturday evening having walked around Oxford we were struggling...until we found Ask Italian. The desserts were beautiful and the cocktails dreamy. Thank you, you have restored my faith in group restaurants.

Really hard working to make our evening great. Large group. The arancini was gorgeous

This is one of my favorite places in Oxford. The staff in Ask Italian are always so helpful and kind. And the food is excellent. I highly recommend it!

Everytime I have a pizza from this place the service and quality is exceptional not to mention the pizza is so tasty always go back for more!! LF

Excellent service, great food. Staff were very accommodating considering we were a table of six who arrived on Saturday evening without a booking. Good experience, good atmosphere, tasty food.

The food was delicious, especially the new desserts, The Lemon and the cinnamon swirl! Lovely festive atmosphere and great, friendly service from Coco

We was waiting half an hour to be served and it was next to empty the woman was so rude the food was stail and cold

Dinner for two, very friendly service. Nice food, nice atmosphere, very pleasant. Small portions. Compared to pre-pandemic it's quite noticeable. Shame. Pasta doesn't cost much but Ask in Abingdon is the same so must be a national choice.

Completely different to my last ASK experience... Food was lovely and the service was spot on... Just the right amount of attentiveness without feeling pestered. Doris was a superstar... Well done. Would recommend Had a great late lunch... Thank you Doris x

Coco is a legend, very tasty food

We had a nice dinner at Ask Italian. Andreea was our waitress!

The food is so good, I really like the place

Very good tiramisu and service was excellent!

Lovely dining in experience, thank you Andreea for the quick service

The waiter andrea was an wonderful person with us thanks again

Great food and great staff. Thanks for the good time.

Really good food and service. Recommend.

Amazing restaurant thank you very much to the staff

Everything was spectacular, my server Andrea was really helpful recommending me her favourite dishes and was just really friendly throughout my visit. Would definitely recommend

Andreea was a brilliant waitress, super attentive and helpful. We had a lovely meal! The food was fab

Lovely meal and great service from Khadija

We were served by Andreea in Oxford and she was lovely

Wonderful experience. Loved the lasagna bites especially. Will come again!!

Went to Ask Italian for food and drinks and was served by Andreea who was very friendly and polite! Will recommend to other people!

The food was delicious as usual for Ask Italian restaurants 🥰. Will definitely go there again.

Aucun service, une équipe de serveuses qui discutent entre elles sans s’occuper des clients. Plats médiocres pour 63€ à 3 personnes. À éviter absolument

Awful attitude, when I book a table I don't expect to be shoved in the claustrophobic basement with no atmosphere and even worse service. We were told we couldn't have a table on the main level because they had booked. Um so had we, to be given another excuse. We declined and had a lovely time at Rosa's Thai up the road.

Visited with a friend randomly whilst shopping in Oxford. The food was nice and came out really quick (within about 5 minutes). We did feel though that the server was a bit slow. It took about 15 minutes for them to take our order and then once we were finished took about 15 minutes for the bill. We didn’t pay full price as we had a voucher but not sure it’s worth the big prices. Also the prices on the menu board outside didn’t match the actually prices which is a shame.

Jodiiiiii i loved heer Have a good day♥️♥️ All workers were gorgeous

Just love the food here. Great service and food was promptly served. All staff are well trained and friendly.

food and service is really nice. Thank you Andreea

Great Italian food in the city centre of Oxford. Fast and efficient.

Last minute decision to drop in, and the food and service were amazing! Thank you

Thanks Amelia for great service :))

I ordered a "big beef lasagna" that was small, without beef ragu and cheese, completely dry. What a disappointment.

Very disappointing. Ceasar salad very poor. Pizza was ok. Expensive for what we had. The only plus is the staff are welcoming and helpful.

non c’era nessuno, per ordinare il dolce ci abbiamo messo più di mezz’ora perché non c’era un cameriere!!!!il cibo è normale, niente di speciale, detto da un’italiana doc! non ci ritornerò.

Came tonight with friends for my birthday the food was amazing 10/10 we will return Staff friendly kept coming to check on us and if we needed anything else you don't get this service at some restaurant Lady that served us was very patient

Good and tasty food but, I’m afraid the staff were not friendly and service is very poor unfortunately. I certainly wouldn’t come back.

We went for a birthday dinner with a group of girls and the staff were very kind and even put candles on the birthday cake we brought along. Very friendly waiter and great service. Would go again for sure

Best service offered by Andreea, everything was perfect.

Great service, Andreea was such a nice and helpful person she helps with the dedications regarding the food and drinks, I will definitely go again for sure I will recommend this place to my friends

Great service and nice environment. Definitely i will go again . Andrea was a such a lovely host , always asking if everything was okay and verry kind .

Very friendly staff and great food.

Simple restaurant with decent Italian cuisine. Not a breathtaking interior, not at all super-attentive, but fast service, good spaghetti carbonara and seafood, pleased with the welcome drink. A quick and good lunch in the city center for reasonable money. Thank you

We went with friends for a dinner. Service was great and food was very tasty.

I have been this restaurant they good food, and fantastic service, the food is amazing.

Our party of 5 were well looked after with friendly staff taking our orders and delivering our drinks and meals in a timely manner, never feeling rushed or forgotten. A very enjoyable evening.

Great friendly atmosphere and staff , nothing was too much trouble , food was ok , however calamari was cooked beautifully but lacked flavour sadly and was too bland. Lemonade was more like squash but very refreshing, and the facilities in the ladies wasn’t the best , although kept very clean a few things broke unfortunately and needs some TLC!

Food was not good unfortunately, very greasy pizza and pasta, and over cooked pasta. We were not finished our starter and the main was straight out so I could tell it was cooked too early and pasta was burned at the top and the pasta was falling apart. Pizza was greasy and crust rock hard. Staff were very involved in their own super loud conversations not paying attention to the customers, loud cursing language we could hear and so the ambiance was ruined. What could of been a nice, relaxing meal in Oxford, was unfortunately then not to be. It just seemed like a really unprofessional environment. I was surprised the management were acting this way also. The focus was definitely not on the customers and their experience. For the price we paid, you would expect better. Will not be returning. We had a way better experience before, across the road in Bella Italia and they had a nice discount too. Very disappointing experience with Ask Italian.

Service was nice, food was terrible

Came here before a theatre visit and although the food was fine I was amazed that they don't like you paying with cash so unless you have the exact amount, you won't get change. Nothing on the door telling this and waitress didn't mention it till I tried to give her cash. Needless to say she forfeited her tip cos I had no change left after scraping together the exact money

Un ottimo ristorante,una bella ambientazione e personale disponibile Consiglio vivamente P.s:provate il tiramisù

Beautiful food, good selection on the menu, and the hostess and other staff were very hospitable.

I got food poisoning. The food was not good at all.

Taken to sit at a table that was dirty so had to use some of the water and a napkin to clean it. We both had pizzas and both found that our pizzas were tasteless. We ordered fries which were good as were the sauces with them ( sauces were useful to give my pizza a little taste. We both had gelato which were nice ice cream is ice cream! Asked for the bill and we were going to pay by card when we noticed they had added nearly £7 and when my husband tried to remove it it the said di you want to round up the amount! My husband was not happy so he got all the tip and rounding off. He didn’t give a tip as the good and service were nothing to write home about!! Oh and the disabled toilet was disgusting obviously no one checks the toilets!!

We had pizzas and carbonara for dinner. Both were well cooked. However, the pasta in particular got cold very quickly. Although the weather was cool, the air conditioning was running. We had asked three times to switch it off as we didn't fancy cold food and a cold. But about a minute later, the air conditioning was each time running again.

The food is absolutely amazing. Everything is well prepared and served in a short time and the service is wonderful. The people are very cheerful and very helpful and this place is a must see for anyone who goes to Oxford

Good Italian food in Oxford. Oxford-style prices, that is, expensive. We have repeated several times.

Perfect Italian kitchen, never disappointing, tasty menu, warm service. Have come here again and again. Highly recommended.

This was our second visit to Ask Italian in Oxford. We were here about a year ago and loved it——so we thought we’d try it again. It turned out to be a great selection as the food and atmosphere were as good as we remembered, and Andreea was perfect in her role as a server for us! We felt welcome, and we felt that she had a sincere desire to make our visit special! Definitely recommended!

I had a wonderful time here with my friends. We were seated quickly, food was delicious, and customer service was excellent. The staff were very sweet in taking care of us. Highly recommend!

It was very allergy friendly including separate menus. As well as the food was delicious. I loved the Italian decor and the staff was very friendly.

I ordered my food to be delivered although the food arrived on time it was all cold and did not seem fresh ( the chips were partially warm and had very little mayonnaise) the pasta was cold and tasted like it had been reheated so it did not seem fresh. The cheesecake was like a melted sluge probably the heat from the other food made it that way. The food tasted nothing like dining at the restaurant if I didn't know better I would think it was food from a knock off ask restaurant. I definitely won't be ordering from here again

Great meal! Enjoyed the atmosphere. One meal came a touch early but Amelia our server was great and handled the situation amazingly! X

Very good service, Amelia was very helpful when we asked her questions and was very kind. She was very understanding when there was a communication issue with having the starter as a main and the other staff brought it out as a starter so she was understanding and sorry and took it off our bill .

Excellent food, friendly service.

Amelia was great!! Very helpful

Chris was wonderfully welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which arrived piping hot and in very good time. Will visit again 🥰

Chris was fab and deserves a huge bottle of prosecco

Chris was amazing, he deserves the prosecco
