We stopped at ask italian lake side and ordered 2 portions of calamari, seafood pasta and king prawn pasta, I mean the food has no taste at all, the calamari was dry and very salty and both portions of pasta were tasteless, not to mention we died of heat inside, there was no air conditioning, you can call it whatever you want but it is not an Italian restaurant, the food is very mediocre

There were a lot of things on the menu not available, only 2 desserts from the whole menu. We were the only people in the restaurant and they still managed to get the order wrong. However staff were really friendly and the food we had wa very nice.

Very much enjoyed our evening at Ask Italian in Lakeside. The food was delicious and the customer service was impeccable but if you?re a regular to this restaurant you would know this is the absolute norm for this place. Outstanding work guys.

Food too spicy...which was not expected at Ask , we've never found this at any other branch...and we've been to a few!

Inhospitable staff. Tried to have a family lunch today at one of the tables outside. As we sat down to a table (waiting to be cleaned first), a member of the staff came after a long time to ask us if we are still up to order food as the waiting time was more than 45 mins. There were still a lot of free tables so one can only assume they either (a) didn't want to have clients on a Saturday afternoon (they didn't even bother to clean the table after all) or (b) pizza/pasta dishes are just too complicated dishes to serve. Can't comment on the food as we decided to leave. It's a pity how business can be ruined by rude service

Both food and atmosphere are OK, there are only 6 tables, but services seem to bit confusing between a waiter and a waitress, you can just some how pickup the unfriendly and uncooperative feel between them two, that effects us. Between our meal, I asked for a jar of water, and the waiter told me I have to order from the waitress, and I thought I will just leave it, but somehow the water came around 5 mins later.....strange, and never been offer the complementary lemonade!!!!! See in picture, our glass are clean!

Very nice friendly staff. All the food was well presented. Recommend the mushroom risotto and the calzone.
The recipe for the prawn stater has changed and no longer has a tomato sauce. it was very dry. Please bring back the old recipe!
Overall, a good place to eat.

Second time when it?s happening to see half of the tables empty, but rude staff is saying ?sorry we don?t have any free tables for you? just because they don?t want to work and prefer to keep the restaurant empty. Although the food is delicious, I wouldn?t recommend this location because of the rude staff.
