They have a good range of dishes on the menu and I personally have yet to have something here I didn't like. The house dressing they use for salads is really good. The garlic bread comes out a bit different than what I'm accustomed to as it looks like a pizza, but it is really good and glad I got it. The service is very friend and they are actually pretty quick in getting things to the table. I seem to be getting into the habit of going to the two pubs right next door and then coming here for dinner.

After an extensive amount of expensive trial and error in attempting to find good Italian here in…read moreSheffield, I was about ready to resign myself to sticking with Tesco gnocchi when a friend invited me here for her birthday celebration. AT LAST. BB's is the kind of Italian joint I'm used to at home in the states - comfort food served in uncomfortably close quarters. My group each ordered a different pasta dish, and we were all impressed with the size and quality of each. I've been on a bit of a pine nut binge, and the spaghetti al pesto satisfied perfectly. The food here isn't some sort of godsend lifted directly from the streets of Rome, but it's tasty, cheap, and boasts some less conventional offerings including a smoked salmon linguine dish and lobster ravioli. The only thing that suffers a bit here is the service, which was surprisingly inattentive considering the restaurant is tiny and there were three waiters working on a Wednesday night. Perfectly friendly, but we did have to interrupt a conversation about soccer between staff to order.

The waiters were extremely friendly and accommodating and the place has a romantic, Mediterranean atmosphere to it which I've never experienced in Sheffield, let alone London where I live.

This branch of Ask Italian is located on Cambridge Street in Sheffield city centre, it is fairly…read moreclose to Yates, Tudor Square and opposite John Lewis. After having some pretty dreadful experiences eating out in Sheffield city centre with one-star "avoid at all costs" experiences with Nando's and Gourmet Burger Kitchen to name just two - this place is probably one of the better places in terms of food quality in Sheffield based on multiple recent visits to the South Yorkshire city. Inside, it is pretty large and modern - it does feel like pretty much a chain Italian which it is, I like the bold decor with Italian proverbs which really helps to bring out the wall. They also have an open kitchen which I do like, I was able to watch my "sever" cook my food - you could tell the passion for cooking: watching him taste it for seasoning etc (and using his gold iPhone...) The service was pretty poor but that wasn't down to the staff not being friendly - it was down to them being really understaffed meaning from ordering to getting food and paying it took much longer to do anything - my server seemed really friendly considering he was rushed, he was serving tables and then in the kitchen, and having to answer phone calls - for me it's unacceptable that there was only one chef + one server who was working in a kitchen for the backlog, with a good 5-6 tables full. I did notice a few staff members who were on a good break for 30 minutes+ who didn't offer to help customers or do anything as it got busy - I appreciate if they're on their break but why was there more staff on break than working. The whole lack of staff really did make me think about walking out on multiple occasions with my food taking longer to arrive, as well as a delay in getting some water as the only waiter was serving other tables. I wasn't offered a lemonade sample which I always receive at an Ask branch, also down to it being understaffed (not really busy, but busy for the low staffing levels.) When my food did arrive, it tasted quite good, I ordered the pea and prosciutto risotto which came to £13.50 - a little pricey but ASK do have various offers with Meerkat Meals (buy any insurance package even one-day travel insurance in the UK for £1.01 and get a years free) or Tastecard which gives you two-for-one, they also offer a student discount which varies from 25 to 40% so there's never a need to pay full price. The risotto was much better than I had at a previous branch, it was seasoned perfectly and it didn't need any added pepper/seasoning, with a little fresh parmesan cheese sprinkled on top it was much better - it wouldn't have been my first choice of flavour combination for a risotto but they still managed to bring it out very well, the prosciutto was mostly crispy with a smoky taste but it was slightly chewy at times. Good quality food at competitive prices considering a large number of offers using third party memberships which are as low as £1 or the restaurant's own website/student discount, yet let down by staffing levels and speed of service - solid three-star rating.

The food is excellent and nice presentation. The interior is nice and is dimly lit to give an atmosphere. They do a lunchtime menu which is better value. The location of this restaurant is good as its near bus stops and the tram stop. As it is town parking is limited.

My colleague and I had two G&T cocktails each (oh he had a third in the end) and as he knew more bout drink than me, knew they must be doubles n asked the waitress why are they so strong as he was smashed after one!

Lol We had starter so I chose the cheese fondue which he remembered I didn't like last time but I tried it again, it was fine. The dipping bread was very hot and tasty. Mains, I had the skinny pizza which was nice though I think I prefer Pizza express one! Waitress was really nice and did a great job! The place is nice and we had a lovely evening there. They also took my Tastecard number and gave us 2 for 1 on each course so it was a bargain! Though I admit I can claim this meal on expenses but the discount kept us in our budget!!!

Taking a seat at a small square table a waitress took our drinks order and left us to browse. Before she departed she made sure to mention the daily specials were which gnocchi and ricotta cheese and spinach canaloni. The menu had a nice variety of Italian basics, to start I had the garlic mushrooms and a seafood spaghetti. My friend had the garlic bread and ricotta special. My mushrooms were perfectly garlicy with the right amount of seasoning. The waitress offered to sprinkle cheese ok top..yes please! The mains also arrived with great presentation and mine had plenty of seafood. Everything tasted fresh, including the homemade pasta. After snaffling these perfect portions we ended the meal with a passion fruit cheesecake and tis Maria coffee. Overall this is a quaint Italian , with basic decor and close knit staff. The prices were a little steep but really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. You might want to book for a evening or Friday, Saturday night however!

The atmosphere was great and the music was geared towards the large hen party, which added to the experience. The bill was £40 for 2 courses + wine which was very reasonable.

I love this place…read more The restaurant is upstairs, with the bar area downstairs. The decor is modern but with character; framed vintage Italian film posters and beautiful lighting. The restaurant food is a mixture between different classic European dishes, with some English staples thrown in. However, everything is served with a twist and to the highest quality. I really love the mussels here and the fish and chips (think goujons in a delicate batter, with handmade thick cut chips). Downstairs, bar meals are served and the cocktail menu is vast. The mojitos in particular are wonderful..especially on Wednesdays when they're on special offer. The ambience in the restaurant is perfect for a meal for two, or a larger party and downstairs is pleasant during the week or at the weekends. All in all - great quality food, and lovely cocktails.
