ASK Italian Whetstone Review
Reviewed by Delphi Ellis
We arrived at the Ask Italian restaurant in Whetstone (apparently a popular dining venue for the likes of Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger who lives just down the road) to be greeted warmly and shown our seats.
The Restaurant is located at a busy crossroads although free parking (for up to 1.5 hours) is available just a few minutes walk in the local Waitrose car park. Despite the busy world outside, the restaurant itself is a haven of calm with plenty of subtle lighting to set the mood for an enjoyable dining experience. The airy and spacious restaurant includes a conservatory and garden area, with glass ceiling see-through during the day and mirrored at night.
We chose from the varied menu which includes plenty of vegetarian options.
As we chose our meals we were served Rosemary and sea salt warm bread complete with extra Virgin olive oil and made our drinks choice from a selection of cold beverages served in chilled glasses.
Starter
Insalata Caprese £ 5.45
Light and tasty fiery rocket, tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad starter that won’t ruin your main – nice with a touch of balsamic vinegar
Butterfly King Prawns £6.95
Melt in your mouth succulent prawns served with altamura bread in garlic butter – a very popular dish! You can even have this as a double portion for a main if you prefer.
