ASK Italian - Sutton Coldfield

Service was terrible

It was a lovely restaurant- lovely food

This is the 2nd time my partner and I dined here and it was the 2nd time we failed to get Olives we requested prior to starters. Basically the starters arrived before we could settle and have a drink
and enjoy the surrounding. It just spoilt the whole dining experience as we felt rushed throughout the night and again we asked them to cancel the Olives as no point if food had already arrived. Not a good experience second time around. Probably won't try a third now.

Both my husband and myself ordered the linguini con frutti di mare. This was very good - but we did feel that Strada has the edge on this particular dish. My husband had Etna for dessert which he said was very good and I had sorbetti - again very good. The waiter and waitress who served us were both friendly and efficient.

Went for our daughter's Birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very good. Only complaint was the cocktails which none of the ladies enjoyed.

After countless positive experiences at ASK Sutton Coldfield, our visit yesterday evening was the first "disappointing" one we can recall in more than 5 years of visiting. Smaller portions... and the POLLO PICCANTE CON PANCETTA which is supposed to consist of "Seasoned chicken breast, pancetta, roasted peppers, red chillies, mushrooms, spinach, rosemary and Fontal cheese" was completely UNSEASONED and had NO chillies on it... which when queried, were advised "Oh we can make it spicier if we are asked"... great... but it was supposed to have been seasoned and have chillies on it in the first place :(

Lovely food great service

Everything was great, great menu, great service, great evening.

Really like the decor & ambience in this Ask. Unfortunately there were issues with the meals coming out very late. All credit to the manager who got behind the counter & supported the team with the back log. Waited an hour for the starters but then the main came quite quickly after that. Food was tasty & was the the food we ordered. Main issue was the meals weren't brought out together so we were all eating at different times. Staff were very friendly & apologetic & we were given our desserts for free without asking as an apology. I will go back again & hope the timeliness of the meals is better as amazingly still enjoyed it .

The restaurant was clean and had a continental feel about it. The service was good and friendly. The menu was varied enough and the food was well presented and was enjoyable. The locally made lemonade sample was refreshing.
