It really is a shame here. The food is always lovely and good value.There is a problem though, and it does seem peculiar to Ask Italian in Worcester, I have been to others.The two tables in front of the counter are used, in effect, as a staff canteen. It would be OK if the people, who are clearly staff, occupying the tables were enjoying a meal and possibly a well earned break.Most of them, however, were sat leaning forward forward on their chairs with a hand rolled cigarette hanging out the side of their mouths, clearly psyching themselves up for the trip outside into the cold to have a smoke. Strangely, the banter between them was quite amusing but probably a bit much.My suggestion would be this. Keep the tables for customers and send the staff to a room out the back.Will I go again? Yes. Next time I'll say something. I'm kicking myself that I didn't say anything at the time.

Cazz was amazing really attentive and patient with the children. Great service. She made everything easy and nothing was to much trouble even though she was really busy. She is an asset to the

Arrival: Already, they've gone the extra mile by greeting us (a party of 4) at the door and smiling at us upon entry.Drinks Feedback: They've shown the ability to fulfil the drink order before the starter and the main course and they followed the requests as well as went the extra mile again by giving us a taster of their drinks which are currently on order.Starter Feedback: They've quickly and effectively served us piping-hot starters as well as given us warnings that the plate will be hot.Main Feedback: Similar to the starter feedback, the main course was piping hot and fresh food, and once again, they went the extra mile.Final thoughts: This branch aced the food, the drinks, basically everything.Well done, you should be proud Ask Italian, Worcester.

Lovely food, went for early dinner while attending the Victorian Fayre in Worcester. We did feel a little 'rushed' to finish our food... but it was very nice. ?

Lovely meal served quickly. Shame as an Italian restaurant, they have no green pesto available as an alternative for someone who is allergic to some of the sauces that come with certain dishes.

Came in for a nice evening meal with friends. We were warmly greeted by the angel Kate, who led us over to our table. The restaurant is well lit and varnished with all the festive decorations. Staff were so friendly and so cool watching the chefs craft the pasta with the open kitchen style. Really happy with the food and the service. Will definitely be returning. Thank you ask Italian

We had to wait a while to put our order in, other people were served quicker. I assume this is because I have an allergy, as a Manager came to take our order after waiting a while. Noone had explained this process, so I just felt unwelcome.The good wasn't very nice, gluten free pizza base needed to be cooked longer and I didn't enjoy my pizza at all.

So on arriving at the restaurant to dine In, we were asked whether we had any dietary requirements and it was from there I wish I hadn't said I was dairy free, we got told we couldn't be served by the waitresses due to only managers being allowed to serve people with allergies.Well to say the manager was near on useless is an understatement, we ordered food and drinks together which my partner ordered a starter which is made for sharing however it contained cheese so I couldn't have any, but before I could order mine the manager had ran off and didn't return for 40mins until she practically threw the starter on the table. We didn't receive the starters and drinks until 40mins after being sat down. When I believe it was the other manager a lovely gentleman bought our drinks over, he decided to remind me that the cheese dough balls contain dairy, and I advised that I wasn't eating them. He was like that's alright then.Our food finally arrived stone cold and the same portion size a child would be eating.We then waited another 40mins for the bill until we got fed up of being walked past by so many people, to be told at the bar that we need to take payment at the table!The best service we had during this experience was the manager holding the door open for us as we left.So unless you want to feel like you're plagued I wouldn't eat here ever again if you have an allergy.
had lunch here with my friend and it was absolutely lovely. service was 10/10 , waiter was so fun and polite. food was so delicious and atmosphere was calm and relaxed.

The staff were all lovely, friendly & pleasant. The food was good, we loved the stuffed mushrooms, but a few of the items could have done with more seasoning. We had starters & mains with a side, but no dessert.We went in the early afternoon, and it was nice & quiet, which we prefer, being autistic. All in all good, and we'll be back ?

Went today, one of 2 tables occupied but still took well over an hour for 3 portions of pasta. Food was underwhelming, cold and had little actual taste. Paid just shy of £70 for 3 cold and measly sized portions of pasta. All in all, a bit rubbish.

My wife and I, rarely can afford to go out these days and was really looking forward t our date night. I ordered a pasta dish, which was revolting, it looked like it had been reheated badly as the pasta was solid in places in general tasteless. I pointed it out to the waitress and all she said was I'll inform the chef.....? nearly £17 for a pasta dish !
