• Italian • Terrigal
Booked 3 times 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.

    The venue was beautiful, with perfect weather—not too cold or hot. We had lived in Sydney for 20 years and never knew there was a restaurant in this garden! With half-outdoor seating, we enjoyed stunning views, while a cute lizard family jumping into the water added a fun touch. The menu offered three course options at different prices. We chose the Muddle Summer Banquet course. The yum cha was good, but the presentation was disappointing—nothing like the beautifully styled Instagram photos. The entrée came on a small plate, with fried chicken and dumplings mixed together. The slow-cooked pork was good, but the steamed rice wasn’t very fresh, and the green vegetables arrived late. And if we hadn’t asked, we would have missed the happy hour drink menu. If the food tasted and was presented as well as in the photos, this place would be packed. Many factors likely contributed to the lack of customers despite the stunning setting. That said, we still had a lovely anniversary dinner, thanks to the beautiful atmosphere and friendly, attentive waiters.
