Ask Italian

Trustworthy good Italian food, but service is variable

I eat at Ask far more often than I probably should, because the food is reliably good - you know exactly what you're getting and standards are consistent.

It would be nice to see more seasonal variations and specials in the Berko branch though, as it sometimes feels a bit predictable, but you can't fault it for affordability, quality and flavour.

I love the Berko restaurant in the summer when they open the big windows at the front - almost like al fresco dining but not quite as chilly!

My only gripe would be that in my experience the service is variable. There are some very very polite, helpful and smiley staff in the Berko branch, but I've also been served by one or two who are a bit sullen and unhelpful.

Still, overall, yummy, good value food with lovely flavours. They do good deals for take-away pizzas too and I would recommend it.
