ASK Italian - London

I went to this restaurant with a friend in the evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, making it a great choice for groups and families. We started with the...

One of the highlights of this restaurant was that it was open and offered gluten-free pasta options. This allowed me to order something different than my usual choice. However...

I visited this branch of Ask Italian located across from Baker Street Station looking for a gluten-free meal and was not disappointed.

Not a good experience to be honest. The service is shockingly slow. We arrived early evening and it wasn’t too busy. Got busier as the evening went on. The service was just not great to be honest. When we asked for things like sauces they never came and staff didn’t apologise for forgetting this happened twice. There just didn’t seem to be any structure to how the staff worked felt like they didn’t really know what they were doing. My pasta dish came out hard makes me think they cooked it and left it out for a while which made it go all hard couldn’t eat all of it. Was a shame because I was looking forward to eating here and eating my favourite cuisine but was bitterly disappointed. The drink I had was very very small too which wasn’t great value for money.

Met people here for business meetings a few times. It’s close to Paddington which is helpful. The service is very good and the food and drinks are great quality. Pricing is reasonable and seating is comfortable. Hasn’t been too busy when I’ve visited which makes it ideal for meetings. Recommended for quiet chats and good service near the train station.
