About us

Here at ASK Italian, we want you to feel at home. We take our inspiration from the Italian way of life, putting our heart and soul into the details. So that when you come to our restaurants, you can relax, unwind and be yourself. We call it Full-Hearted Italian. It means that we’re heartfelt and we love what we do. We’re spirited, fuelled by the boldness of Italy and determined to be the best we can be. We’re generous, always going the extra mile with little surprises and considerate touches. And just as we take care of the little things, we care about the big things too. How we make people feel, and our impact on the world around us. Although we may be a large family of restaurants across the UK, every ASK serves its own unique community, now and for generations to come. It’s where you can celebrate moments that are part of your everyday – and moments you’ll treasure forever, from catch-ups to triumphs, milestones and emotional reunions. It’s also a place you’ll want to return to. Because like every big family, we are full of energy and passion. For food. For conversation. And for that unbeatable feeling of being around the table with people you love.

  • This week, we officially kicked off the 2024 cohort of our General Manager Avanti Leadership Development Programme - an innovative journey aimed at elevating the leadership capabilities of our General Managers. Unlike traditional training programs, GM Avanti emphasises providing insight and personalised coaching to help you genuinely develop your leadership skills. Over the next 18 months, participants will engage in self-assessment, collaborative group work, and challenging projects designed to foster growth and excellence. This programme goes beyond conventional learning; it’s about self-discovery and transformation. We are excited to see how each person rises to the challenge and evolves as a leader. #GMAvanti #LeadershipDevelopment #GrowthMindset #2024Cohort

    Say Ciao to Friendsday Wednesday, our new national campaign that launched across all of our ASK Italian restaurants as part of our feeding friendships initiative. It's our little way of helping you catch up, reconnect and get together with the people that matter the most. Every Wednesday, we’re giving everyone who walks through our door the chance to get a free portion of our Dough Bites starter to help start those conversations and nurture those in person connections. Our Friendsday Wednesday campaign is important to us at ASK, aligning to our full hearted brand that values connections between people and the spirit of the communities we serve. Sixty-one percent of Brits see sharing a meal with a friend as one of the best ways to reconnect, and our restaurants are the perfect place to forge real-life connections, away from a screen. The campaign launch follows findings from a national research study commissioned by us, which revealed that both Gen Z and millennials groups find it hard to meet new friends in real life, wishing they could spend more time with their friends. The average Gen Z and millennial has just six people in their life that they truly click with, despite having amassed an average of 600 + followers online. The multichannel campaign includes digital, press, POS, and media ads, as well as a collaborative launch event workshop, hosted with UK media partner LuxeGen (SheerLuxe group) and Carb Club Ceramics, to further extend our campaign reach. Friendsday Wednesday, You Just Have to ASK. More to follow. Full article about our campaign can be seen in Dine Out Magazine, and other national press titles. https://lnkd.in/gwi_NzrT #hospitality #industry #friendsdaywednesday #uk #campaign Azzurri Group
