Ask Italian Castleford

Located in the middle of the Xscape Yorkshire centre, whether you need to refuel after hitting the slopes at Snozone, want to build up some energy before an intense game of laser tag or just need to kill some time while the kids do all the above, Ask Italian is the place to be.

Serving up Italian dishes we all know and love, expect a hearty and carby meal that is definitely worth the extra inches that might be added to your waistline afterwards. You’ll find all the pizza and pasta dishes you’d expect to find at a chain Italian restaurant. Think spaghetti Bolognese, pizza Margheritas and calzone pollo. You can also try one of the prima pizzas, specially made to be bigger with a thinner and crispier base. Pick from the super-green option, full of healthy veg or the slow-cooked lamb for something a little meatier.

Chances are if you’re at Xscape, there are some kids in tow, which is great because Ask has an extensive kids menu sure to keep them satisfied. They get the chance to pick exactly what they want here; from pizza toppings to pasta sauces the decision lies with them. They can even pick ice cream toppings to finish of their meal.

To finish of the adult meals, take a look at the extensive dessert menu with enough options to keep even the fussiest of dessert eaters happy. You can go for the chocolate mount etna, a chocolate sphere that collapses after having toffee sauce poured all over it (hello Instagram) - great for the entertainment factor. If you prefer a more subtle dessert, the pistachio and olive oil cake or warm pear tart will go down a treat.

Surrounded by indoor greenery and quirky wall murals, this is the ideal place to sit back and unwind after a day being shot at by artificial lasers or playing in fake snow.
