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.

    Amalfi is one of our favourite restaurants. The food is always flavoursome, the staff are incredibly welcoming and the restaurant fit out is stylish. One of the jewels in the crown of Central Coast dining.

    Dining at La Gioia is a gourmet experience. It is surprising that a fine dining restaurant would set up in Erina rather than Terrigal or Avoca but we're glad they did ! Four of us (mature age) went on 'locals' night (Tuesday) after a long weekend so it was a bit quiet. We all enjoyed our entrees and mains. The presentation, flavours and quality of the food were first class and we would definitely return. The service was professional and attentive. It is always a risk to try a new restaurant but we can recommend La Gioia to any discerning diner. Try it and you wont be disappointed !

    The food, cocktails and service was outstanding, and the music was perfect for us filled with RnB and upbeat songs. The ambience of the room was very good with the anime on display and led lighting around the room with pink and purple hues. The Asian inspired cocktails and fusion meals are amazing, this restaurant was perfect for a dinner with drinks vibe
