Surrounded by lakes, meadows and golf clubs, after a day of exploring the Billericay countryside, refuel at Ask Italian. Offering up different takes on traditional Italian cuisine these fresh and seasonal recipes and ingredients are sure to impress.
Specialising in casual Italian dining expect to find classic pizza and pasta dishes like Bolognese and pollo e funghi, but if you’re looking to try something new the purple basil pesto Genovese is award winning and even has an edible flower to garnish (how fancy). The filled pasta with crab and ricotta is also sure to impress and served in creamy tomato bisque.
If you can’t resist pizza but are trying to be good, the super green prima pizza with kale and asparagus is equally as tasty as your classic dishes. The pollo Milanese and pork belly porchetta are ideal for those among us who don’t want pasta (yes they exist).To finish off your Italian feast the desserts are unmissable. Try the yoghurt panna cotta or warm cookie with salted caramel gelato if you really want to indulge. Enjoy a cold glass of prosecco with your meal or pick from the seasonal cocktail menu. Not a drinker? The craft lemonades and mocktails are equally as tasty.
If you’re vegan, try the extensive menu specially crafted to make the best parts of Italian food completely animal free. Sounds like a difficult task, but Ask have done it perfectly. Opt for the spaghetti lentil ragu or prima pizza with vegan mozzarella.
This modern, bright and airy restaurant housed in a quaint old fashioned pub style building makes for a relaxed lunch or intimate evening meal, depending on when you decide to pay Ask Italian a visit. You can be sure to get a taste of Italy and super filling meal when you make it there.
