Il Bacio - Epping Forest

Trying to book is impossible. Phone not answered. Online not operating

Bit of a disappointment really. It was chokka so was expecting good things but the food quality is really no better than average. Not bad or anything but if you like good quality it 's not for you. The crowd are a lot younger so that 's why this place might get away with it but there are far better Italians around. Also the decor is a bit overkill. Tries a bit hard there. Been going to Italy for decades and never seen anything like this. The painted flowers all around the walls need to go. Lastly, funny name for a restaurant but no judging on this.... The Kiss

It's like stepping through a portal into Italy, a bit manic, loud atmosphere but unmistakably Italian, the food and drinks were really we nice, we both had meals from the specials board and they were delicious, we were absolutely stuffed, you won't leave here hungry. Service was quick and attentive without being overbearing. We will back.

Always an enjoyable meal. The food is always fresh with good portions. The waiters have a personality which makes a change from most restaurants! Definitely worth a visit if in the area, probably the best Italian in this part of Essex.

First time here last night Buzzing atmosphere and food was superb. Portions are large, service was friendly and great value. Will be back without a doubt
