Quore Matto - Epping Forest

The first time here. eating was fabulous will definitely return.

The staff were very professional, welcoming and friendly. The food was beautifully cooked and at a very reasonable price. The background music was subtle and didn't drown out conversation. Thank you for a lovely evening.

On arriving was told once seated that there were no pizzas or garlic bread due to having no staff able to operate the oven which if we had been told when we booked could have chosen to go somewhere else as it meant that some of us had to order a different meal The portions of pasta were very small and there were only 3 small meatballs with one of the pasta dishes. The seafood risotto had only one prawn in it and 3 out of the five mussels could not be opened which means that they were not cooked properly. None of the waiters checked to see if everything was ok with our food and we had to wait 20 minutes between the first courses and the mains even though it wasn’t busy in there They also wanted us to pay a £10 service charge with the bill stating that there were 6 people but one of them was only 7 years old so shouldn’t have been included as an adult When we refused to pay the service charge the waiter was very rude and did not even apologise for the poor standard of food and service! I would never go back to this restaurant again or recommend to others as there was not one thing any of us liked about it!

Excellent VFM v good meal. Visiting Epping and it's V popular with locals, it seems. Would return.

The food was wonderful especially the creme brulee best I've ever tasted. Very reasonable too. Can't wait to go back
