    Honestly not the best experience for us. The food wasn’t fantastic. Pasta was overcooked and the mushrooms in my primavera were not washed. Nothing quite like a mouthful of dirt in your mouth. I usually write about the restaurants we visit when we travel and post pictures and reviews on social media. I decided not to write about this one. My husband’s chicken parm was overcooked as well. The breading was so dark and the bucatini was almost mushy. I’m sure they can do better. Hopefully it was an off night.

    Service was pretty slow. Food quality was about average for Italian food and it was very noisy. Overall they could do a much better job. Pick one and be great at it.  food, ambience, service, price. Pick one.

    Excellent meal, Caesar salad, Balsamic Pasta with grilled chicken, and a wonderful dessert. The super Tuscan red wine was great with the meal.

    We chose Sugo to celebrate our son’s birthday and it was excellent! The staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make it special. The food was great as usual. We started out with the meatball appetizer and some grilled bread. It’s not a stretch to say that the starters are just as tasty as the entrees! We will continue to frequent Sugo whenever we have a taste for fantastic Italian cuisine!

    We first ate here in August right after it opened, had issues but was willing to give another try. Sadly - Issues not cured. My daughter’s food did not arrive until 15 min after rest of table. And Food was just ok but not memorable. Overpriced given issues. Mediocre at best.
