• Italian • Terrigal

Booked 1 time today

Il Toscano means “The Tuscan”, and is a perfect representation of everything I am, and all that I love about my home land in Italy. My name’s Matteo – head pasta maker, chef and owner of il Toscano. I was born and raised in the countryside of Tuscany, and although I’ve now lived in Australia for over 6 years, my passion for all things Italian has never been stronger. Nor has my passion for sharing it with Australia and the Central Coast. I noticed that while there are a lot of outlets serving Italian food up here, they’re largely not hitting the mark when it comes to quality, authenticity and value for money. My wife Laura and I became so tired of being disappointed every time we ordered food out, that we decided to take matters into our own hands.

Made a reservation for six, the banquet option provided was amazing with a wide variety of dishes. Some people in the party were vegetarian and Pellegrino accommodated that professionally. A overall great experience.

Celebrating our sister’s 60th birthday with family and friends at Margaret was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the day special. The food was incredible - and a lot of it! And the service was friendly and flawless. It was a perfect way to mark this milestone birthday. I cannot recommend Margaret enough for any special occasion. Thank you to all at Margaret for making this day extraordinary!

Box on the Water remains unbeatable for value-& that view! The pate, fish & chips-& salad- are our ‘go to’ lunch-easily shareable, served with a smile, & enjoyed in front of a world class view. Our only (slight) regrets-it’s not open-at least once or twice a week-for breakfast-and the menu doesn’t offer a tender steak frites option ( the bavatte’s a bit chewy for us). But it still makes us once a week regulars.
