il Sugo Italian Kitchen

“Top tier! My family and I really loved this place. Wonderful atmosphere. Authentic vibes. Really good pasta and sauces. Meatballs were phenomenal. My wife had the short rib ravioli, and thought it was one of the best Italian dishes she has ever had. I did the Italian sausage with a creamy sauce. Very good. Serious pricing though. Kids menu with a protein will run you 20 bucks.”

“We went twice to give the restaurant a chance. Both times we were told that the wrong order and been delivered by their vendor, so we could not get regular iced tea. Evidently they do not brew the tea at the restaurant. All that is available is "sweet tea" that comes bottled. The food was good, not exceptional. The first time the service was rather poor, couldn't get ice for the water despite asking our server, the host and finally a bus-person who did bring us a glass. We asked for olive oil only for the dipping sauce and received a dish with just the vinegar because the person didn't know the difference. The second time the service was better. The wine list was adequate and both times we had a delightful and good wine. Our server, we had the same one both times was friendly and helpful knowing the dishes on the menu. We did think it was funny that on the menu in the vegetarian section you could add meat to all the dishes.”

“We arrived at dinner time without reservation. We were seated right away (on a weekday). The server was great. She was very fast to get our order, and the food came out quickly as well. Food tasted good. Didn't need anything extra. We liked that there was plenty of sauce. The restaurant seemed nice and their staff looked/was professional.”

“My sister threw out some restaurants for us May birthday girls to celebrate at. il Sugo has been on my to go list for a hot minute so I said yes immediately when she the out this joint as a suggestion. A reservation was made and we made our way in Saturday to celebrate. My husband and I were late arriving cause of work. But my family and friends got drinks and apps started. I wasn't expecting them to wait but I'm happy that they did! The drinks and apps kept them at bay till we arrived. The venue is stunning! I love the decor here. I have always been intrigued with European vintage decor and this restaurant is beautifully devoted decorated with this kind of esthetic. Such a romantic setting. The rich deep red wall. The ornate vintage frames. The plants. It's truly a beautiful set up. After my husband and I got settled in and drinks ordered, we got dinner placed. I got 2 orders of meatballs and my husband got the seafood pasta. While food was being worked on, everyone shared the bread and balsamic olive oil dip that was on the table. I heard the bread was good. I didn't get a chance to try it since it was communal. Our meals were slowly trickling out. My meatballs looked amazing! My husband's plate looked fabulous. You can see the shrimp, mussels, clams.... We all became quiet and started on our meals. My meatballs were huge! I have had meatballs at other restaurants and have been hungry still. The size of these babies let me know I was not going to have that issue. It was nicely covered in marinara. A hearty covering of parmesan. Everything about the meatballs were great! I have severe fomo so of course I had to try my husband's plate. I tried a couple of his penne. I was really thrown back at the heat of the sauce. I tried another bite and it was still spicy. The spice was something neither one of us were expecting. Before I say anything to our server, I did look over the menu to see if we missed anything in the description of the dish. No chili was listed. Nothing about it being garnished with chili flakes. From reading the menu, no spice was described in the dish. My husband has a real sensitive pallet so I asked the manager/owner why spice wasn't indicted in the menu. We wouldn't have ordered it if there was. The manager said they can remove the sauce and add new sauce that didn't have chili flakes in it. "It would make it less spicy." I was actually surprised he didn't suggest a new dish that didn't have heat in it. We were complaining about the heat and I honestly don't think replacing sauce that has spice in it with new sauce with spice will do anything.... but hey, we went with it. The second dish was made and dropped off. Unfortunately, the sauce was still spicy and my husband could barely eat it. He ate the seafood which was a few pieces of shrimp, clams, bay scallops, mussels and fish. This dish was drowned in this sauce so there was no way to eat the seafood with the sauce. This dish is 34 bucks and my husband could barely finish the seafood. Our server was kind and got me birthday dessert. The chocolate cake was killer good! It wasn't overly sweet. The frosting was rich in chocolate and the cake was super moist. I only took a couple bites and took the rest home. I was not going to leave this bad boy behind. We spent a little over 70 dollars on dinner to have my husband leave hungry. I came home and made him a second dinner. Nothing more disappointing than spending that much money just to come home and eat again. Money is tight for everyone so the fact that we chose to come here and spend our heard earned money to have my husband hungry just makes my heart sad. Overall, my meatballs and cake were good. Service was great. The venue is very pretty. But, having my husband eat a meal that was poorly described in the menu is just disappointing and having him leave husband is upsetting. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't think we will be hitting up this joint again any time soon.”

“Horrible food! If I can give it less than 1 star I would. I got chicken Parmesan and at first couldn’t cut into the chicken with my knife. I thought something must be wrong so stabbed the chicken with my fork and it would go through. I grabbed it with my hands and took a bite and it has SO HARD! This was an old chicken Parmesan they gave me, the crust was beyond hard. I removed the crust to look at the chicken and you can see it’s aged and not fresh. And the bread they gave me, also hard. Can cause issues with those with brittle teeth. I couldn’t eat over 50% of my Parmesan that I’m just throwing it away. I paid $28 and one of the worst foods I’ve tasted in a long time. The service is nice but the Food? Over priced , old and not in the least tasteful. DO NOT RECOMMEND!”
