My sister and I love Ask Finchley. The staff are lovely to us especially Salvatore. He was even cooking delicious food last night though he is usually a waiter.

ASK Italian is a true gem in the world of Italian dining, offering an exceptional culinary experience that exceeded my expectations.The restaurant's inviting ambience immediately sets the stage for an enjoyable meal. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the delightful aromas wafting from the kitchen, made for a fantastic dining experience.The menu is a culinary masterpiece, featuring an array of authentic Italian dishes crafted with finesse and flavour. From traditional pasta dishes bursting with rich sauces to mouthwatering pizzas with fresh, quality toppings, every bite was a delicious journey through Italy's culinary landscape.What truly made my experience exceptional was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and passionate about delivering an unforgettable dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm to ensure my satisfaction elevated the meal to a whole new level.Moreover, the restaurant's commitment to using high-quality ingredients and catering to dietary preferences was impressive. It ensured that every dish served was not only delicious but also met specific needs or preferences.

We had a very bad experience during our last visit. The food was tasteless and bland. In addition, the staff didn't care about what we have requested. We will not go back again!

Went here with my partner and kids. When our food came, I asked the waitress for sauces to have with my fries, she told me my partner had sauces with her fries so I could share hers! I was shocked to say the least! Why should I have to dip into the sauce on her plate! Charge me for the extra sauce im asking for but dont tell me to share with the other people on my table. Disgusting attitude and service. Would be 0 stars!!

Lasagne was extremely disappointing. I've had better frozen versions at a fraction of the cost. Didn't look appetising and was below average in flavour. I found it high in salt too. Nothing like the image they advertise on their website.The vegan lentil ragu was ok, but lacking in flavour.The courgette fritti were nice. But again the chips and rosemary and olive oil bread were salty.

I had prebooked the table for 9 people for 1900 hours as it is my sons 14th birthday today and we were having dinner When we entered the restaurant we were sat down at our table and not once were we informed that they were short staffed. We were told that the coffee machine was not working. We ordered our starters and ordered the children pizzas as we wanted them to come out with our starters. Well, our starters came out after 30 minutes and we ate our starters and the children's pizzas had not come out and we specifically said we wanted the pizzas to come out with the starters. It took another 10 minutes to bring out the pizzas for the children. More and more people were coming into the restaurant and it had been 1 hour and 25 minutes since we entered and we had still not got our main meal. My brother in law went up to the manager and explained to her that we were not satisfied with the service as others had come into the restaurant much later than us and had been given their starters and main courses and we had not yet had our main courses. The female manager apologised to him and he had come and sat back down at the table. The manager then went to the kitchen to speak to the kitchen and staff and came back to us and said she was really sorry for the delay but the food would be another 15 minutes to cook. This was at 2025 hours and we had bowling booked for 2100 hours. We were served our food at 2040 hours and had to rush our food so we were not late to bowling. By doing this all of us dis not enjoy the food as we should have and also never had any time to order desert for the kids as it was my sons birthday today. The bill came out and the manager had given a £50 discount on a £200 without any deserts. The manager need to learn customer service and inform staff to let people know that there are delays due to staff shortages and that there will be a waiting time for food this way we would have had the choice to either wait or go somewhere else. There was no excuse because as I said it got busy and people got their food before us that came much later. It's a real shame as I said the food was quite nice but after spoiling my sons birthday as we were all silent and upset I will not be coming here again.

Visited on Sunday at 3pm. Welcoming, polite and attentive staff. Sorry didn't catch the name of our waiter. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked the fact that this branch has an open kitchen and is spacious. The bill was provided with no service charge quite surprisingly....(we have often been presented with service charges for appalling service in other restaurants)...in our opinion the staff at Ask Finchley deserved over and above a service charge tip for their hard work, exceptional service and for maintaining cleanliness, high standards and a smile. Well done team and see you again

Visited ASK Italian last night with my family for dinner. The atmosphere was quite nice, it was not very busy and the waitresses were nice and welcoming. We ordered our food but had to wait around 45 minutes for the food to come, appetisers had come after 15 minutes. Unfortunately, my brother got the wrong pizza and had to wait another 10 minutes for a new one to be made. The manager was really sweet and offered us the pizza for free, they really tried to make up for their mistake, which can happen, we are all human. The food was very good but it was just unfortunate what had happened.Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian and carbon-friendly options.

Despite the restaurant being quite full as a result of the start of the school summer holidays a seat was found for us and we were served very quickly. Our waiter was helpful without being too over attentive, but didn't miss a chance to upsell in a very polite way.The meals were well presented, warm and tasted nice, there was no rush to leave the restaurant.Parking: Ample parking on the complex.
