Quick info
About Il Bacio Theydon Bois
On Forest Drive in Epping, Il Bacio Theydon Bois is an Italian restaurant built around a Sardinian focus within its Italian menu. The kitchen lists baby octopus as a starter and pairs papardelle with sirloin steak alongside a wider menu of twenty dishes. The dining room keeps an old, original look rather than a refreshed one. Coffee is served without milk alternatives. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and it opens Monday to Sunday except Tuesdays, when it stays closed.

“Food is really good, some bits you don’t find everywhere. I had the baby octopus to start with and the papardelle with sirloin steak. The flavour of both sauces was amazing. Portions are really filling. Considering there were over 20 of us, the food came surprisingly quickly.”
