We came in for a family dinner of Bank Holiday Monday, 25th August. One of our family is elderly and in a wheelchair, so we needed extra time and space. From the moment, we came in, our server, Matilde, was excellent. Her service in helping us and taking our orders was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. The items ordered, Vegetarian Calzone Pizza , 2 kids vegetarian meals and one vegetable pizza were excellent. In fact all the food and service is excellent and well worth dining here. We look forward to visiting again.!

We had such a great experience at Ask Italian, made even better by Coco’s excellent service! Best service in Oxford was from him. The food was spot on the Beef Brisket Pappardelle was tender, soft, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend it if you’re visiting. The Lecca Lecca Chicken was another standout, so tasty and full of flavour. To finish, me and my partner shared the Brownie dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Thank you to Coco and the team for making it such a lovely visit – we’ll definitely be back!
