Love is best shared at ASK Italian this February

by | Feb 12, 2026 | Bluewater, Dartford News

ASK Italian is celebrating Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day with a new set menu featuring limited edition sharing specials, designed for generous, memorable moments around the table this February.

Available now until 15th February, the Valentine’s Set Menu offers diners the choice of two for £24.95 or three courses for £29.95. Bringing together ASK favourites with exclusive seasonal dishes created especially for the occasion, it’s designed to suit everything from romantic date nights to relaxed catch-ups with friends.

Limited time only Valentine’s Day specials are perfect for sharing and available as part of the set menu or on their own:

  • The Antipasti Feaster -a shareable pizzetta loaded with a whole burrata, air-dried coppa ham and prosciutto, roasted artichokes and slow-roasted tomatoes.
  • Truffle & Prosciutto Risotto – a creamy truffle mascarpone risotto with prosciutto, finished with crispy riserva cheese & prosciutto shards.
  • ‘Nduja Pollo Piccante Pizza – fiery ’Nduja and spicy torn chicken with fresh red chillies on the new 14 inch Pizza A Mano base, finished with a drizzle of hot honey, creamy stracciatella and fresh basil.
  • Chocolate Fonduta Sharer – served with strawberries, bomboloni doughnuts and more to dip into the melted velvety chocolate.
  • Chocolate Strawberry Sundae – the perfect combo of chocolate brownie pieces, chocolate gelato and sweet strawberries, drizzled with warm chocolate sauce and finished with a crispy wafer.

Diners can choose between these limited edition specials, as well as a selection of ASK Italian favourite starters, mains and deserts, like the Slow-Cooked Beef Parppadelle, cooked slowly with red wine and Sunblush tomatoes, or the classic Tiramisu, served with a mix of Baileys and espresso to pour over.

Alongside Valentine’s Day, ASK Italian is also encouraging groups to celebrate Galentine’s Day, putting friendship at the heart of the occasion with dishes that are easy to share, order generously and enjoy together without formality.

The set menu is available in restaurant only, for a limited time in February, across ASK Italian restaurants nationwide. Diners who sign up to the ASK Perks Rewards App can also get 10% off the set menu.
