I visited Newcastle’s Eldon Square location of ASK Italian and I have to say I had a fantastic experience, with delicious food, excellent service and beautiful presentation of dishes. 

ASK Italian is a popular chain of Italian restaurants with locations across the UK, and as part of its autumn/winter menu, it has introduced two brand-new main courses, two desserts and one cocktail, alongside its already existing menu of authentic Italian dishes.

On my visit with a friend, we enjoyed Calamari (£8.75 for a small portion) from the usual menu to start, which was very delicious.

For the main course, I decided to step out of my comfort zone of pasta and choose the brand-new pizza from the autumn/winter menu, the Prawn Picante Prima Pizza (priced at £16.50) due to my love of seafood. 

The Prawn Picante Pizza was definitely value for money, due to its large size (I ended up sharing it), and its unique topping. A great addition to the menu in my opinion.

My friend chose the Aubergine Parmigiana Ravioli (priced at £14.95), which is also a brand-new addition, and they were very pleased with their choice.

To finish on something sweet, we both opted for the brand-new desserts which have been added to the autumn/winter menu and decided to share them both to experience the taste of both. 

The desserts were The Lemon (priced at £7.95) and Chocolate Falls (priced at £7.95), which are both suitable for vegetarians. The Lemon was incredibly refreshing, light and fruity, while the Chocolate Falls was rich, incredibly sweet and filling. 

We decided not to opt for the new cocktail and instead enjoyed a glass of Merlot (or two) with our meal, which definitely complemented the dishes. 

Overall it was a fantastic experience, with unique brand-new dishes to try and superb customer service from all of the staff.
