About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    Absolutely loved our dinner! The restaurant has authentic Italian decor, the staff are lovely and the food was amazing! Real homemade pasta, and real homemade sauces. I have eaten in various restaurants across Italy and this is the real deal! Plus the Limoncello spritzer is a must!

    Il Toscano Long JettyResponded on July 10, 2025
    Hi Susanna, Thank you very much for coming at Il Toscano. We are so happy you enjoyed the experience and particularly our Pasta and Service. Il Toscano is a Pasta Bar specialised in fresh pasta. Unfortunately Pizza, Secondi or other delicious Italian dish options are not part of our concept. However we are happy you enjoyed the experience and we are looking forward to see you soon again. Thank you again

    Last night we had the Bistecca alla fiorentina at Long Jetty and loved it! The steak was cooked the traditional way, to perfection. The potatoes, garlic bread, vino and salad were the perfect pairing and absolutely delicious. Great cosy ambience with Italian music. We look forward to your vongole and tiramisu next time we visit!

    Busy restaurant with very good authentic italian food and reasonable wine list. Small venue with a lot of tables close together but sufficient space. Service was excellent.

    My favourite is always Spaghetti di Mezzanotte. Simple flavours done so well. I always get something extra to take home. Love the ragu. Everything is fabulous and I highly recommend this little Italian restaurant 😋
