Price range: RM33 - RM70
Cuisines: Italian

Description: ASK Italian is a great Italian restaurant found in the very centre of the Cornish city of Truro. The setting is understated and simple with a modern edge, while the huge open plan kitchen means that diners can watch their dishes being cooked. The menu is long and offers a good choice of dishes from stone baked pizzas such as the Napoletana topped with marinated king prawns, caramelised onions, tuna, anchovies, black olives, capers, tomato and mozzarella. Pasta dishes include spaghetti bolognese or homemade lasagne. ASK Italian restaurants are synonymous with quality and great prices and this Truro branch is no exception.

We went here for a work staff retirement dinner there was approx 25-30 of us. Over the previous few weeks we had collated together a list of what everyone required and taken it to the restaurant so they knew what everyone was going to eat to make it easier. At lunchtime on the day of the meal we contacted them... More

I went with 2 children, one of whom has a disability. Hubby was working away and my intention was a stress free easy quick meal night. The set kids menu we were given was good value, but apparently, at point of payment, because we hadn't stated at the outset that was what we were ordering, we were charged for each... More

We wanted a quick, but nice, meal before going to the cinema and went into Ask without a reservation. Although the restaurant was busy we were found a table. We did ask if it would be possible to eat within the hour and were assured it would not be a problem The starters arrived quite quickly but then we were... More

Pleasantly suprised by the quality of our visit, in the light of fairly negative reviews from colleagues. The service was brisk and friendly with smiles and a non pushy relaxed efficiency. Definately a family experience with drawings by little ones on the wall. The quality of food was exceptional although at first we, thought that the portion size may be... More

I came here on a Tuesday Evening in the Easter Holidays with my boyfriend, and luckily they managed to find us a table after waiting 5 or so minutes. They were extremely busy, however we didn't have to wait ages for our food, and the food was of very good quality for the price that we paid. It was only... More

Lovely menu, light and airy ambience and perfect for a family lunch. The staff couldn't have been more helpful on our visit which was much appreciated. We visited for a special birthday lunch with our daughter and two grandchildren. Ask is ideal if you have young children. They were supplied with drawing and colouring sheets with crayons which kept them... More

Must admit didn't want to eat here, but daughter has been several times and enjoyed the food and reluctantly have to agree. Service was good, would have been nice to have been offered a drink whilst waiting for a table, food was much better than you would expect from this sort of chain. I have to say we will be... More

This is another generic Italian restaurant the delivers an acceptable standard of food you would expect from this sort of chain, so little to add from the food front. What lets this particular restaurant down is its general state of disrepair. Stains on bench seats, dirty chairs, battered walls / bare plaster, toilets with broken flushes etc. I don't want... More
