Ascione Bistro - a Comfortably Elevated Italian-focused Restaurant in the Heart of Hyde Park
“Came for brunch and to see my old friends Alex (the owner) and Kiki (the chef). Food and service were amazing. I went a little crazy because everything sounded so good. Before I even ordered I mentioned to chef that I wanted to try the lobster ravioli and he sent one out for us as soon as he went back to the kitchen. It was delicious!! I ordered shrimp cocktail, baked oysters, crab cakes and carbanara. Everything was so good. The place was packed and had a great energy. So proud of these guys for creating such a cool place. Can't wait to try dinner sometime. Thank you Alex!”
“We recently celebrated our mom’s 90th birthday and chose Ascione’s Italian Restaurant to cater this very special occasion, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. From the very beginning, Jonathan and Alex were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and accommodating. They guided us through the menu and made wonderful recommendations, and they were absolutely right. The gnocchi was a universal favorite among our guests, and the small meatballs were such a hit that they disappeared before I even had a chance to try one. Every single dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Our guests raved all afternoon and evening about the quality of the food. So many people commented that it was some of the best catered food they had ever had. The catering staff was equally amazing, professional, attentive, warm, and completely on top of everything. They made the entire event feel seamless and stress-free for our family. We are so grateful to Ascione’s for helping us create such a memorable and joyful celebration for our mom. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely use them again in the future.”
“Food was amazing and atmosphere was wonderful. Although I’d rate it 4.5 instead of 5 if Google let me. Due to the table I was sat at, it felt like it took longer for me as a solo diner to get the same treatment as the table next to me that had two diners and was sat at the same time (bread came out later, table wasn’t dressed the same, a couple table-side options not offered). But it was a minute spot on an otherwise great time.”
“We really enjoyed our Christmas dinner at Ascione! We ordered from the Christmas special menu. Both choices, Halibut and New York Strip Steak, were excellent! The food came to the table hot, which is very important! Both dishes were seasoned to perfection! We ahared a tiramisu, which was delicious! The wait staff was very attentive, accomodating and a pleasure to interact with throughout the meal! Thank you Ascione for an Awesome experiencs! Looking forward to my next visit!!”
“We enjoyed our dinner at Ascione Bistro! Positives: Delicious cioppino with really well cooked and fresh tasting seafood. We also enjoyed the grilled octopus and tuna tartar appetizers. The risotto with our halibut dishes tasted good. We enjoyed our creme brule that we had for dessert. Service was good. They offer a coat check. Things for the restaurant to work on: Halibut was a bit overcooked. I wasn’t offered a box or container for my leftover cioppino. It was just taken away.”
