About Taste of Tuscany

Suburban institution serving slow-simmered ragù and crisp-edged pizzas without the trek into central Sydney. Generous portions arrive hot from the open kitchen, backed by attentive floor staff who treat kids like regulars. The menu even spells out the culinary pedigrees of its chefs upfront. Diners lean into hearty staples like deeply layered lasagne, con broccoli gnocchi, and thin-crust pies topped with garlic prawns or tender meatballs.

  • Chef Pedigrees on the Menu: Kitchen credentials and industry career backgrounds are detailed directly at the front of the printed menu.
  • Slow-Simmered Staples: Simmered for hours, classic bolognese and lasagne deliver deep umami rather than quick-assembly passata.
  • Spacious Family Gathering Space: An open kitchen and newly expanded dining footprint easily seat large tables and family groups.

Why Diners Choose Taste of Tuscany

Discover why locals and visiting diners rely on Taste of Tuscany for slow-cooked classics and warm family gatherings.

  • Slow-Cooked Sauces with Deep Flavor

    Richly simmered sauces and layered baked staples deliver hours of slow-cooked depth rather than thin, rushed preparation.

    So much umami and deep flavours.

  • Hearty, Generously Topped Pizzas & Pastas

    Generous portions and crispy, well-topped bases satisfy Italian comfort classics without skimping.

    The pizzas were cooked to perfection – crispy base, loads of toppings – and the pasta, fair dinkum, was rich and full of flavour.

  • Attentive Care for Multi-Generational Family Dinners

    Attentive floor staff cater promptly to children's requests, allowing parents and extended family to sit back and catch up.

    I was able to relax and catch up and enjoy my food as the serving staff were so attentive and made sure my kids every request was filled.

  • Spacious Setting for Gatherings & Celebrations

    Expanded dining rooms and open layouts comfortably fit large parties and family group gatherings.

    They bought the space next door with further renovation. It's now ideal for functions/big family gatherings.

  • Welcoming Atmosphere That Treats You Like Family

    Guests are treated with genuine warmth and attentive hospitality that feels like visiting relatives.

    The service, writing from my very bias view, is very good, they treated our table like their family, they looked after us very well.

  • Cozy Neighborhood Comfort Full of Heart

    Heartfelt hospitality and an inviting, comfortable dining room make meals feel unpretentious and deeply comforting.

    the atmosphere was perfect, cozy, inviting, and full of heart. We truly felt at home.

Slow-cooked classic pastas and signature woodfired-style pizzas

  • Lasagna

    Second time coming here I decided to test out their staples.. Bolognese, lasagna and a chicken creamy pasta.

    Potato Gems

  • Gnocchi

    I enjoyed the gnocchi, and please be warned, the serving portions are generous.

    Minx Chique

  • Bolognese

    Not at TOT, they cooked it like how I make it at home but way better.. ( so far the comparison between me and my partner is how I make it home because I cook that sauce for hours). So much umami and deep flavours.

  • Meatball and chorizo pizza

    the meatball and chorizo pizza with sweet chilli and sour cream?? Omg. I want it so bad. It sounds like an abomination but it tastes like a delicious sin.
