About the restaurant

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 9 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 traditional local Tuscan food.

Our mission is to bring people together for an amazing Italian experience with good food, wine and good times and share with you my strong passion and our local traditional cuisine as if you were in Tuscany.

About the restaurant

No Bones is the brainchild of Tahlia, Yasmina and Laurie. In an attempt to change the way we think about what we put in our mouths, we opened our doors in April 2018 with a vision of bringing meat eaters and vegans together over good plant-based food. With each passing year, No Bones has evolved, driven by the determination to do better for both our community and the environment.

We are part of a plant-based movement and invite you to join us on our expedition to save the Earth one Brussels sprout at a time.

The food is incredible! We love coming to this restaurant for seven years now, and it is still our favourite in terms of atmosphere, service, happiest people you will meet and of course the menu. Every visit becomes better than the other. One hundred percent recommend it to anyone who is visiting, passing through or living in Byron Bay, we only hope one day they open another location in Sydney :) Cheers, Sofia and Zach

Under the proud ownership of the Stanton Family, The Nyngan has recently undergone a significant restoration project, breathing new life into its historic walls while preserving its rich heritage. Now fully licensed and equipped to cater to guests, it offers a welcoming atmosphere, delicious dining options, comfortable accommodation, and beautiful event spaces.
