Ask Italian Bluewater - Dartford

Late in writing this as went a year ago however I cannot let this one slide. Ordered a spaghetti Bolognese which arrived at the table with congealed pasta and a sauce that was so watered down it had no substance. The meat was so scarce it could almost be vegetarian and was essentially a bowl of wet pasta. A taste of Italy this was not. Given the price they are charging and how cheaply the dish was made, I am angry that they think this is in any way reasonable. This is not a problem at the restaurant level, it's the whole chain and their senior management thinking they can rip off customers with this rubbish. Sell the chain to someone who actually takes pride in the food they make. The only positive was the waitress who was understanding and accomodating.

First time I've had or even heard of ASK Italian but glad I found out. I did want a cheeky Nandos but the queue was ridiculous and ASK had a few tables and no queue... Sat and seen to pretty quickly and given a free shot of lemonade while we pondered over the menu and asked if every course was okay and attentive to our drinks when they were empty. We had a really lovely woman who served us. Starter: calamari delicious, light, fluffy coating on the outside with just the right amount of sauce to dip in to. Arancini balls (wife's) where very tasty too. Main: calzone absolutely packed with hot delicious meats and sauce. Not like a lot of places where you get 25% filling and 75% dough. Dessert: baked chocolate gnocchi I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this was absolutely without a doubt, one of my favourite desserts I've ever had!! The pastry was hot/warm/fresh, dipped into chocolate and then with a bite you find this smooth warm chocolate inside... I would go back for this alone! But while I'm there I'd definitely have it all again. Cant fault the food or the service one bit. Gotta give it 4* purely because it's a family place and there's young humans about who can be a bit loud and distracting. Also found the seating functional and not comfy for a sit down meal.

Been there quite a few times before. The pizza came up warm and on a plate instead of a round cutting board. It took a time to get the drinks which turned up just before the pizza Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £30–40 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
