Surrounded by shops, theatres and cinemas, you’d be forgiven to think that this building is a tourist attraction, rather than the popular Italian chain restaurant Ask. The huge windows and pearly white statues make for a very grand entrance. But fear not, because once inside you are met with the modern, fun and laid back décor Ask is known for.
Putting a spin on the classic pizza, try the prima base – a longer and crisper version of the usually super filling and indulgent original. Go for the super-green toppings if you want to stick to your health kick, but for something a little heartier, the salami misti, with a choice of meats, peppers and onions is a real treat.
If you’re more of a pasta lover, the filled pasta with crab and ricotta in tomato bisque is the one to go for, but you of course have all the regulars such as Pomodoro, Bolognese and Lasagne. You’ll have no worries when it comes to filling your pasta craving here.
For the vegans among us, Ask has you covered. You no longer have to skip Italian cuisine because of eggy pasta and cheesy pizzas. It offers up both those things in vegan form. It even has an award-winning blood orange and chocolate tart for pudding. The gluten-free menu is also just as extensive as the main menu, so you too can enjoy all the carbs. It even features varied dessert options, meaning you don’t have to limit yourself to the ice-cream, although that is also on the menu, of course.
After a busy day exploring Cheltenham or a pre-theatre dinner before seeing a show at the Everyman theatre, enjoy an authentic Italian meal with a modern twist. Catering to so many tastes and dietary requirements, you are sure to find something to suit everyone’s tastes and needs.
