January 2009 - Ask Italian, High Street, Epsom

(01372 740992)

Our first chain restaurant for the Nosebag Club, but not a bad choice.

Mains: Ravioli Burro e Pesce (Lyn); Pizza - Festa di Carne (Paul); Lasagne (Chris) - plus garlic bread.

Desserts: Tiramisú for Lyn; Honeycomb Cheesecake for Paul; Torta di Mele [Apple Pie] for Chris.

Drinks: A glass of house red (Merlot De Gras from Chile for Lyn; Rioja [a Tempranillo] from Crianza for Chris); . A glass of house white (Pinot Grigio for Paul).

Cost: £65.00 plus tip.

The waiter was friendly and efficient (although we did see him spill red wine over a member of another group!) and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

More importantly, the food was tasty and well presented. The wines were all very good (quite right too - they weren’t cheap). We enjoyed the garlic bread - a pizza base soaked in garlic butter, very tasty. And the desserts were enjoyable too.

Our rating: THREE STARS but at the high end of the rating.
