ASK Italian - Scarborough

You're looking at the South Bay stretch of Scarborough and fancying something that won't disappoint—ASK Italian's your answer. Perched right on Sandside overlooking the bay, it's the sort of place that works whether you're after a casual midweek dinner or something slightly more dressed up. The menu reads like proper Italian cooking: fresh pasta made to order, wood-fired pizzas, risottos that actually taste like they've had time and care spent on them. It's a chain, sure, but the Scarborough location doesn't feel soulless—service is attentive without being fussy, and you'll regularly see locals back here rather than tourists just passing through.
