Stepping into Bar Sugo Italian feels like a trip to a classic Italian neighbourhood in New York, but right here at home. The restaurant’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can tell a lot of care has gone into the design, including that fascinating wood oven! It's so cool that the owners have a special connection to it—using bricks from their old school is a quirky and unique touch that adds to the charm of the place.

We were lucky to have a fantastic server who was attentive, friendly, and really knew their stuff. The menu offers a great selection, and it was hard to choose with so many delicious-sounding options. We ended up ordering a few different dishes to share, and we were not disappointed. * The Spaghetti Bolognese was a true classic. The sauce was rich and flavourful with a perfect balance of meat and sauce, slow simmered until it forgets what year it is and it was generously topped with cheese. A solid 9/10.

* The Pesto Cream Spaghetti was another hit. The sauce was aromatic and velvety, clinging perfectly to the al dente pasta. Absolutely delicious and a definite 9/10.

* The Margueretta Street Pizza was a little bit of a surprise. While the cheese and sauce were plentiful, the sauce was a bit on the sour side for my taste. Still, it was a solid 8/10.

* However, the pizzas that truly stole the show were the Mama's Mushroom and the Vinny Massimo. The Mama's Mushroom with its delightful mix of mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and dollops of ricotta was absolutely divine—a perfect 10/10.

* The Vinny Massimo—with its pepperoni, mushrooms, jalapeños, and garlic—was hands down one of the best pizzas I’ve had in the city. The slightly crispy pepperoni was a fantastic touch, adding a great texture. Another perfect 10/10.

Final Thoughts If you're looking for a casual and delicious Italian meal, Sugo is a must-try. The food is incredible, the staff are wonderful, and the service is top-notch. Just remember that they don't take reservations, so it's first-come, first-seated. It’s the perfect spot to grab some friends and treat yourself to an amazing meal!
