Then it was time for our main courses. I had ordered the Risotto con Pollo E Funghi as I love risotto but my husband doesn’t, so I seized the opportunity to try something I knew I would enjoy. I loved the combination of the chicken breast slices and sautéed mushrooms and the creamy white wine sauce was perfect.
My husband had a Linguine Carbonara (pictured below) which he really enjoyed and ended up sharing with our daughter, she’s a real pasta fiend!
Keen to sample the menu we did order desserts although normally a main course is enough for us. My husband had the Italian Cheesecake and I ordered the Grande Gelato which is basically Eton Mess Italian-style (pictured below). I need to make it at home as it was amazing and really complimented the risotto I had just eaten.
At this point we were really full and happy so settled up and toddled off to our favourite park for a very long walk. Our final bill came to £58.70 for meals for two adults, two children, hot and cold drinks which I thought represented good value. Everyone enjoyed their food, the service was excellent, especially considering we had to chosen to eat on such a busy day, and the atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a delicious family meal at ASK Italian.
This is the first of a series of posts written in conjunction with ASK Italian who are on a mission to remind people that pasta shouldn’t just be a backup when the cupboards are bare but an exciting and creative part of your kitchen. Respect the pasta!
Disclosure – we received a voucher in order to review the menu at our local ASK Italian

Yummy! I do love ASK. We really should go more often!
I love Italian food. I’ve not eaten out in a while but this would be where I would choose X
I’ve never been to an ASK restaurant before, but I’d love to try it out, everything looks so yummy!

I find ASK very pricey for the small portions (but then I have two teenage boys with bottomless pits for stomachs). We rarely eat out due to allergies but they were very kind and helpful and created dairy, soya, wheat and gluten free meals for my twins.
Gosh this has made me hungry and all sounds gorgeous. I love Italian food and it features in our weekly meals. My grandfather has close links with Italy and I like to learn how to cook Italian food to sort of carry on a tradition. I’d love to eat out as ASK – not easy with 4yo with autism but hey you know, one day x
Sounds a lot like Pizza Express, my little one loves it every time!
We love their food! It is good!
I’ve seen a few really positive write ups about this place recently so I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future as I love Italian x x
Ooh this looks scrummy! ASK it lovely x
i very rarely get the chance to/can afford to eat out, but ask is definitely one of the places i like to go when i can.
Love Ask – loved their wine glasses too so much that I bought some lol
Never been to Ask Italian before. Been to their sister restaurant, Zizzi though and that was lovely!
I’m so jealous I LOVE ASK! yum yum! x
Sounds really tasty. We love going out for pizza too – you really can’t go wrong when you have children in tow.
I would love to go here I love Italian
We often go there when collecting, or dropping off our daughter at university. As a vegetarian, there are always so many options available – which is rare!
I LOVE Italian food! It’s such a sociable occasion when you get little bits of things to taste too – the salami sounds delicious.
We actually never ate there, but lately I’ve seen few nice reviews and I think it is time to pay they a visit 🙂
I love ask italian, the cheesecake is amazing!
