After a fun session, Ice Skating out on the Intu Lakeside rink, we needed a nice warm meal to fuel ourselves back up so we decided to stop by Ask Italian on the Boardwalk. Inspired by Capri, the restaurant brings that al-fresco Italian dining experience inside so you feel miles away from the world of shops just a few minutes away.
