ASK Italian - Brighton

We had prebooked but were easily accommodated half an hour earlier. Very friendly and welcoming in the heat of Brighton Lanes. We had drinks plus starters and mains from the extensive menu. All the food we had was delicious. Starters of chicken lecce and garlic mushrooms followed by Stromboli pizzas, carbonara and the new dish of chicken arrabbiata lasagne. Great atmosphere. We were able to pay for the food with Tesco Clubcard vouchers which is great. Highly recommended. Worth going out of your way for. Some of the most friendly and efficient staff in Brighton.

Went back to ASK following a good visit late last year. Very disappointed this time because the dish my good lady had last visit was not available, so she went with a chicken pasta dish. I say chicken, there was hardly any in the dish. I went with good old fashion spaghetti bolognese which was very bland. The service and hospitality was first class but food let the visit down.

The quality and flavour of the food absolutely perfect and the service from Michael was outstanding. Highly recommend for lunch and dinner.

Michael is the most friendly, affable, and attentive server. We loved having lots of starters to share, and he was very accommodating and welcoming. Great service. 5

Arrived 10 mins before time. To be greeted by a very miserable member of staff who then showed us to our seats. We waited and waited for menus, in the meantime another table was prioritised as they came in. I got up went and asked for menus, once got waited another 15 mins and still not served. So then decided to leave and go around the corner to Browns, a far better experience. This is the second and last time i’ve had to write about this place. TBH there are so many options in the part of Brighton, choose one of those. I will certainly never darken their door again.
