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.
This is La Gioia,Where the essence of Italian fine dining is infused with the charm of the Tuscan countryside and the enchanting spirit of La Dolce Vita.At La Gioia, we invite you to indulge in an exquisite culinary journey, embracing the authentic flavours and heartfelt traditions of Italy.

We love going here! We brought some friends along to introduce them to this fabulous restaurant! They were very impressed also. Food is delicious, wine is brilliant and the service is always professional and friendly. We love the quietness also, it makes such a huge difference to your dining experience. Thanks again for such enjoyable dining experience, we will be back again soon! Apologies for being the last to leave also!
It was an absolute pleasure to have a meal at Il Toscano in Long Jetty. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately! The other half of our party was running late (25 mins) and still the staff were great! The food was the best Italian we have had on the coast! Just the right portion size too and a perfect bottle of red was recommended which completed our meal perfectly.
We will definitely be back!
