My husband and I came here last night and were pretty disappointed. We both ordered cocktails. Mine…read morewas made with prosecco, which was flat, and there was way too much syrup making it very sweet. The fried calamari was obviously not fresh, very heavy breading, and super greasy. The croquettes were the same, and the filling was bland and barely warm. The sauce for the croquettes was cold - and i mean straight out of the fridge cold. I had a pizza for my main, which while not horrible... was also not flavourful. My husband's calzone was okay, yet the salad that came with it was arranged into a smiley face. Would have been cute for a 5 year old, but it was just us two adults... very awkward. We then waited ages for the bill. We got tired of waiting and paid at the bar on our way out. I don't think we'll be returning.

I don't know why this has 2 stars. ASK is great. It's on the high street so location is good, the…read morerestaurant in general is modern and stylish, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, but the food though is its crowning achievement. The pizza is authentic, fresh and just tastes good. Not much more to say really. Also, it does pasta and I remember the spaghetti carbonara being especially good as well. Yeah it's just a lovely place. I mean it's an Italian restaurant that cooks good Italian food. What more do you want? I think the service is about average really. Not painfully long but not outstanding either. Reasonably priced as I recall, seeing as you are largely paying for the experience as well as the food. So yeah. 5/5

We visited Pircio this weekend gone. It's location means it's slightly hidden compared with lots of…read morethe chain restaurants on North Street, but having spotted some signs from the Baroosh window we decided to check out the restaurant and we're glad we did. This is a fantastic space. It's a hall type building that has been very carefully transformed into a large restaurant which successfully maintains an intimate feel using delicate lighting, cleverly created seating areas and has a large bar and pizza oven framing each end of the building. The menu's refreshing, as it's effectively a double-sided sheet with Italian delights on one side and mediterranean on the other, so if you have friends who want to eat Italian but you fancy something different or vice versa, the choice will please you in a big way. We're both vegetarian, and the selection of vegetarian food was excellent, though it's worth pointing out that like all awkward customers I set my heart on one of the meaty offerings and asked if they would be able to do me it without the meat, which the restaurant happily obliged. Top notch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, we didn't feel rushed at all and once we asked for the bill it arrived promptly with the card machine following suit very soon after. Again top notch. The only thing we could fault was the starter, which arrived a little cooler than you would normally expect for deep fried brie, but was still delicious. A nice atmosphere, a great wine menu and effectively TWO menu's makes this an easy pick if you're looking for great food away from the usual chains. Highly recommended.

My goodness talk about good homemade Italian food! This reminded of the type of Italian food that…read morean Italian grandmother would make at home for u. Everything I tried tasted real good. I tried their liver, eggplant "aubergine" parmigiana, simple arrabiata penne pasta, and mushroom risotto. The downside of this place is that it is by reservations only, and they hardly answer their phone. Forgot a $600 sunglasses in there and couldn't get it back. Other than that, it's worth a try and I think it's hands down the best Italian in town!

Perfectly poised on the High Street near the Castle, this meal was a feast for royalty. Excellent, unique preparations of well executed dishes.

A last minute impulse led us to join my son and his partner at the Alexandra Ristorante in Ramsgate, for our 31st December 2017 late dinner. And what a surprise was in store for us all as none of us had been there before. Our new-year's dinner turned out to be our best 2017 restaurant experience and the best Italian restaurant we have been to, over the past 30 years! What a find indeed... Although late for our 21:30 table, we were very warmly welcomed in the Alexandra Ristorante delightful and spoteless surroundings. We savoured every bite and minute we had until we left at 23:45. The setting was perfect for our New-Year's eve celebration: a homely environment, in the heart of Ramsgate harbour. The Alexandra Ristorante building is indeed unique. The tables are tastily set, in a welcoming and stylish simplicity.. Quiet music provided a pleasant background to our family get-together. The perfect Italian atmosphere oozing peaceful charm... As for the food... well as a French accomplished cook myself, I like the best and I was not disappointed... The menu offered a wide variety of options, including a good range of delicious vegeterian dishes. Our food was served with care by the owners who clearly take great delight in pleasing their guests and much pride in preparing the best of Italian traditional food. Every dish we picked was exquisitely presented, in generous portions, home-made with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and so so so tasty!!! Italian food at its best.... All dishes were very reasonably priced and our three-course New-Year's eve meals with drinks cost us just under £25 per person. Very well done John: your food is scrumptious and your prices are honest!!! A big thank you to you, family and staff for making our late New Year's eve a really unexpected treat, despite Ramsgate Harbour fireworks being cancelled due to strong winds... We left your restaurant into the wet and cold seaside air, with a warm heart and happy tummies! We will definitely be back in 2018 with family and friends to enjoy your special food, drinks and surroundings!
