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.

We had a lovely family dinner and were impressed by the service. The waitress was really accommodating of our messy toddler, offering thoughtful suggestions for kid-friendly options. The whole family enjoyed the meal, but it was especially wonderful for our coeliac daughter, who loved the great gluten-free options available. Thank you!

Pizzas at Lagune Artisan are second to none - crispy crusts, light bases and delicious toppings. Service was great, friendly and quick (but not too quick). Nice buzzy atmosphere and casual vibe. Really enjoyed the evening - will definitely be back.
