ASK Italian

Ask chain restaurants never impressed me. I come to Warrington with friends and we order many diffrent starters and mains. Food presentation is great but you just don’t feel and flavor, my friends pizza was absolutely no teasty. I’m giving 3 stars. MY calzone was very nice but that was the most skiny calzone pizza in all my eating history, very little mushrooms and ham. I was very impressed with staff extremely friendly, with happy serving customer service. Great job guys.

3 of us came at approx 8pm on a friday night, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. The first thing we noticed was how cold it was, the air con was turned up to max which is a bit excessive on a coolish evening.
Drinks like most restaurants are fairly pricey, we thought £4.10 for a glass of wine was a bit ridiculous so all had soft drinks instead.
The risotto verde was tasty enough but was a small portion for the price. The seafood linguini was basically tomato sauce on pasta with a few shrunken shell fish on top, (in the shells). Not great value for money really but tasted ok. Cant comment on the shell fish as there wasnt enough of it to comment on, all shell and no fish ;-)
The pizza my friend ordered was slightly overcooked so a bit dry, we all wanted to eat together so she didnt ask for a new one as it would have meant her eating after us.
We were brought drinks then left 20 minutes before being asked our food order, we tried to get the attention of the service staff a few times but no one noticed.
Same happened when waiting to ask for the bill. no one to ask for it.
The staff seemed friendlhy enough but most definitely not Italian haha (which of course isnt a must to work there but it seems that these type of restaurants make the effort to hire italian staff in city centre branches like liverpool, manchester and london but less so in other places.)
We didnt particualrily enjoy our visit there, it wasnt relaxing or feel warm and inviting. Quite basic interior and tables.
We probably wont go again unfortunately.

The service here is absolutely superb. One is made to feel welcome from the initial entrance and this continues throughout.
The meals seem, at first sight, to be expensive, but are actually good value for money and even better value if you take advantage of the money off vouchers available on the online booking site.
We were a group of six adults and got three of the main meals for £1 each on the special offer.
The wines are rather expensive, but there is an excellent choice. The beer, however, is restricted to one fizzy, bottled lager.
All six meals ordered were top class and the only things left at the end were the clam shells on my plate! (Linguine with clam in shells and chillies).
My second son is gluten intolerant and the waitress brought him a series of printed sheets, showing all ingredients for all menu items. He actually had quite a large choice, something very unusual, even nowadays.
