Bin here many time . Still has the same spark. Good food. With excellent staff. I starter mussels with lemon. Nice . But I do prefer them with white wine sauce. Calves liver with sage was very tasty. Also had a pasta dish with large prawns. Washed down with a good white wine. Ordered Affogato which is not on the menu. But a must. Cold coffee with ice cream. Prices are reasonable for the area .

Siamo capitati da queste parti alla fine del nostro tour in camper in Scozia. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo e il personale è sempre stato gentilissimo. Cibo veramente di qualità, un vero ristorante italiano, ottimo sotto ogni punto di vista.

The restaurant is cute, with candles in wine bottles etc and the service good. The music playing on a Saturday evening was awful, either play traditional Italian or proper English house.....not Italian houseish. The food lacked the deep rich Italian flavours we expected and the side veg overcooked. It's a shame as it's close to where we live and would have gone again if the food was tasty.

I'm going to have words with my neighbour, because he's a regular here and never told me about it! Friendly service, good food and the portions are incredible. Definitely going to be returning many times because everything or party of 5 had was great, and I've got to know what everything else is like.

Gorgeous Italian food in Theydon. Table bread was hot and fresh, portions are huge, the aubergine parm was easily thr size of a main dish. My fish grill was generous, the lobster ravioli looked amazing. Varied wine list. Highly recommend.

Simply a real authentic Italian with a Sardinian twist . Great freshly cooked food, huge portions and very fairly priced .Plenty of space around you . Cooked and served by real Italians who care about their food and their restaurant. Be aware during busy times the food may be a little slower to come out, so if you are in a rush tell them, they will accommodate you.

We have only recently started coming here, but already feel like it's our second home:) We have tried several main dishes and can't find a fault with anything we have tried. This place is a true genuine Italian with every dish screaming authenticity. The clams with sea bass are a must try as well as the pizzas 🍕 You will need to book in advance on weekends, infact you might need to book for any day of the week, we have been a couple of times on a Tuesday and they only just squeezed us in..... on a Tuesday:) Go try this place!

Our first visit. Sitting in this restaurant you genuinely could be forgiven for thinking you are on holiday in Italy. We have experienced italian restaurants in Sorento, Lake Garda and Rome. We love our nights out in restaurants and this one is unbelievable. The service, the wines, the food and without doubt the deserts. If you have not tried this beautiful Authentic Italian restaurant, you are missing out on a true gem. Thank you all at Il Bacio.

My husband and I have visited this restaurant many times, it used to be our favourite restaurant as we have so many fond memories there! However, this time was extremely disappointing! We booked a table for 8pm on Saturday 15th July, arrived on time.. we were seated after 10 minutes and was sat at the table for 40 minutes without being spoken to or served! We were also stuck so tightly between two tables, I had one mans head in my shoulder and could hear word for word what the couple next to us were discussing. We ended up walking out as we were starving hungry and it was now 8.50pm (we'd been in the restaurant for 50 minutes without one person even attempting to serve us) without being asked if we wanted a drink! We told the staff we were leaving and one of the waiters simply picked my handbag up and gave it to me almost as if to say p*ss o** ! Disgusting service in my opinion. Left really disappointed and upset as it was our anniversary and it was too late to go anywhere else. Such a shame. Il Bacio – you need less tables and a better attitude towards your customers. Really disappointing.

This is the worst Italian food I have eaten Inflated prices and small portions To call themselves Italian and serve overpriced rubbish like this is a joke. The margarita pizza is simply a melted cheese glob of tasteless tat Even basic pizza in any supermarket is far better As for the so called “fresh every day day sir” calf’s liver Its not fresh if its sour , and anyone knows you don’t overcook till dry calf’s liver! How come your chef doesn’t seem to know this Maybe that’s why it’s drowned in a bitter onion gravy

Went out with friends to celebrate my birthday. I could not believe how busy and vibrant the restaurant was on a Thursday evening. I had beef carpaccio to start with. If anything, it had too much cheese but delicious. That was followed by veal milanese with spaghetti pomadora. I was too full for desert but was given a scoop of ice cream as a surprise. Staff were friendly

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"

Visited with friends, we were crammed in like sardines. Restaurant was very hot and there was condensation on the windows. All music was loud and we couldn’t hear ourselves speak. I asked for a portion of spinach with my meal and they must’ve taken it from the frozen bag and heated it in the microwave it was tasteless.

Love the decor with murals etc and a lovely atmosphere. Starters are very large but lacked in seasoning. Prawn cocktail in particular had around half a jar of sauce on it and was virtually inedible because of this. We asked for salt for the mains but didn’t need it as they were very highly salted and again far too much sauce. Not the Italian way.

I eat here a lot. It’s a typical “real” Italian restaurant. Which is hard to find now. All the food is fresh , portion size very very generous. THE best bolognaise sauce ever. Always fresh fish available. They will adapt any dish to suit your needs , even bolognaise with fish if that’s what you like. ! They are sometimes a little direct but don’t confuse it with rudeness, it’s “Italian “ . They are very happy to welcome you and are perhaps a little shy, so relax and have great food cooked with the offer of superb Sicilian and Sardinian red wine. Great value for money.

We have always loved this restaurant but went a few weeks ago and were frankly very disappointed. When we got there they appeared to have jammed more tables into the restaurant and we were shown to a table where I could not actually get into the seat as it was so close to the next table.We were moved to a different table though. The food on this occasion was really disappointing, particularly the main courses. I and a friend had veal milanese. When it came up it was dry , thin and the meat was like leather.Neither of us finished it. The liver which my wife and a friend had was equally disappointing. All include shall not be rushing back for another meal there any time soon sadly.
