LOCALLY SOURCED AND EVERYTHING MADE FROM SCRATCH
We invite you to join us as we apply a Mediterranean culinary approach to the terroir and food of Vancouver Island. If you already love local food and drink, we hope to deepen that love affair with the good food and wine of our locale. We follow a tradition of sourcing locally for several reasons:
ENVIRONMENTAL
Research shows that as individuals we have the greatest positive environmental impact on our locale by choosing local food and transportation. At Toscano’s we choose local because it is healthier for our community and our planet.
RELATIONSHIPS
Buying locally means we are playing a part in growing a responsive and responsible community as we develop relationships with farmers and producers.
SUSTAINABILITY
When we buy from producers in our community, we become part of a more sustainable local food economy.
TASTE

We know that good taste follows good community, economic, and environmental practices.
We are proud to work with the following producers:
