“I can't say enough great things about our weekly visits to Ask Italian. It's become a Sunday family tradition that we all look forward to every week. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a busy week. What truly makes our experience special are the wonderful girls, Niki and Anna. They are consistently friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure we feel welcome. Their genuine interactions with my kids add an extra layer of joy to our visits. It’s heartwarming to see how they engage with them, making them feel special and included. The food is consistently delicious, with a variety of options that cater to everyone’s tastes. Whether we’re trying something new or sticking to our favorites, we’re always satisfied. Overall, Ask Italian feels like a second home to us, and we’re grateful for the fantastic service from Niki, Anna and all the staff. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy a great meal and feel like part of a family, this is it!”

“Fantastic authentic pizza! Called an order in for a pepperoni and a margherita pizza on my way home from work. Ready hot out of the oven in 10 minutes, and it was delicious! Great neapolitan style pizzas made how they should be. Very friendly in the shop and can't wait to try their pastas and other bits, highly recommend!”

“A no frills Lebanese kebab shop style venue. The food is 10/10 though, with amazing salads to accompany the tender chicken. Service was also great, would return for the food again!”

“Love it, man. Amazing pizza, best dough. Always satisfied to order my pizza from this place.”

“First time here! had the best time, food was excellent and the service was even better! Loved Marika!! She has such good energy and went above and beyond and looked after us, we even shared our love for tiramisu! I will definitely be back here again xx”

“We were here for my daughter’s pizza making birthday party. Although there were some issues with finalising the details prior to the party, on the day of the party itself, my daughter and her classmates all enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Each child received a starter, their own designed pizza and dessert. The party was mainly managed by Julianna who was a great host in making sure everything went through smoothly without it feeling rushed.”

“Lovely spot to drink (alcohol or otherwise) and eat Italian style in the centre of Lakeside shopping centre. Excellent breakfasts, set lunches and other meals, including antipasti, and desserts. Italian beers and a full range of cocktails and spirits.”

“Charlie who served our table was really lovely. Great service with a smile, give her a pay rise. The whole team was really helpful and they seemed to want to be there. Charlie gave a hearty welcome and gave us a table explaining the online ordering process. The wait for the food was appropriate. And she checked to make sure everything was ok. I saw her support an elderly couple who were struggling with the whole QR code situation with their order. Overall I'm happy and will recommend, 4 stars as I thought the prices for what you get weren't great.”
