ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN YORK

Looking for an Italian restaurant in York that ticks all the boxes? You just have to ASK.

Right in the heart of historic York, you’ll find your ASK Italian restaurant tucked inside the (very) Grand Assembly Rooms, a show-stopping space where Corinthian columns and glittering chandeliers meet comforting bowls of carbonara.

Our home on Blake Street is just a stone’s throw from York Minster, the Theatre Royal and the Museum Gardens, making us the perfect pit stop for post-sightseeing spritzes, lazy lunches and celebratory dinners that stretch long into the evening.

And if you’re bringing the kids into York, our family friendly restaurant in York is serving up all the classics. Think stone-baked pizza, fresh pasta you’ll be craving for weeks to come and desserts you’ll definitely want to save room for.

YORK GIN

We’ve got a local gin in every restaurant. In Southend, you’ll find Pigs Bay Distillery – distilled locally to our restaurant. So the next time you order one of our signature cocktails, you’ll be supporting a local business.
