Lovely food and polite, helpful waiters. My friend and I had dinner here, the setting was relaxing and quiet (we arrived before 6, after 6 it became a bit louder and more cheerful). Would definitely recommend Byng St Nights to anyone.

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.

The food was delicious and the service attentive. Plenty of options on the drinks menu from cocktails and mocktails to the usual beer, wine and spirits. We had the scallops and Lobster Bisque for entree and a steak and lamb for main. Love sauces and flavours for both dishes. We will be back!

We really enjoyed this wonderful flavourful meal. Beautiful location, splendid room. All just perfect for an unusual pre-Christmas treat. Local ingredients were showcased, couldn’t really ask for a more delightful lunch.

The food is amazing! Can definitely recommend the Beetal Leaf and Moo Ping as starters and Penang Prawn, Larb in Lettuce Leaves and Massaman beef as mains. Also try the cocktails - absolutely delicious. This is our fourth visit and the food is always excellent. The service was ok, waitress couldn't answer a few questions but didn't spoil the night.

I come here every Sunday for a matcha and sometimes breakfast and it's such a lovely ritual. I have been here a few times for dinner and it is always always sublime. Last night's delicious feast was no exception- I was so proud to introduce the venue to my colleagues who commented variously through the night how lovely it all was, and one said she'd be back to do a little work and eat :) very happy!

Fisherman’s basket missing oyster component. Husband had roast beef. Flavourless & tough. Size of meals continues to be too large. Menu has not changed much in at least 2 years. We only dine here every 8 weeks or less. Not stimulated by decor or food choices. Purchased cheese cake to bring home. Tasted like instant pudding. No cheese taste. Overall very disappointing as this is our preferred club. Love that you are asking for the review, but nothing ever seems to improve.
