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.

    We got a very warm welcome, the service was good for a busy Valentines night. The food was well prepared and delicious generous plate serve, plus there was nice selection of wines. We look forward to our next reservation.

    Food was average but not great. Service was similar, ok but nothing to rave about, and overpriced for what it was. Would we go back again, probably not.

    Really lovely overall. Menu selections plentiful and heaps of vegetarian and vegan . Ambience great. The only criticism i would have is I found the dishes had just a bit too much oil . Flavours lovely and food seemed really fresh. I'd definitely go back.

    The team were lovely and accomodating. We were with our children who were challenging and the staff were super understanding. We might have been the most difficult table of the night but the lovely waiter was super helpful
