Dropped in for an unplanned dinner on Friday and we were lucky enough to get a table. The pasta was divine and the service was very kind and attentive even though they were packed.

The dishes taste nice. I could never take my Italian Family here as the dishes are not main course sized. For $100 we had 2 pastas and a salad and 1/2 liter of wine.

When you're craving a touch of Italy, the fresh, flavoured pasta is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The service was also outstanding, with all the little details that made a big difference. This charming hidden gem, we'll definitely be adding this spot to our regular rotation. The only thing missing was a coffee machine. Grazie mille Toscano Pasta Bar.

Very good pasta place around the Gosford area. Lovely food and service. The decor feels like you're in Italy. The foods are very authentic. We ordered Bucattini Amatriciana, Ragu and Sundried Pesto Pasta, some antipasti - Garlic Sourdough Bread and Arancin, and they are all on the spot. We will definitely be coming back! Can't wait!
