Notes: 1) been here once…read more2) nice waiting area in front 3) close to Black Warrior Pros: 1) good service 2) good ambiance Cons: 1) okay food Ratings: 3.5/5 Service was really good. Ambiance was overall good. There is a nice waiting area outside which leads into a long hallway where the tables are. The space is used well but could be much improved. There is also a bar which separates the seating area from the bathroom/ back. The food is overall not bad. The mozzarella stick appetizer was good, cheesy and fried well. The marinara sauce was okay. The chicken Parmesan was good. The chicken was cooked well and the Parmesan was a good addition. The spaghetti did not add much to the dish. It felt like store bought spaghetti. Food ratings: 1) mozzarella app: overall 3/5, solid for what it was but nothing impressive 2) chicken Parmesan: overall 2.5/5, solid chicken but other additions didn't really bring much

$28 Pasta... With the Wrong Noodles…read more I had been looking forward to trying Sugo for a while, so this visit was pretty disappointing. I ordered the Pasta Carnivora, which the menu clearly lists as coming with spaghetti. What arrived at the table was fettuccine instead. That might seem like a small change, but pasta shape actually matters. Different noodles hold sauce differently, and swapping spaghetti for fettuccine completely changed the balance of the dish. The thicker noodles made the plate feel heavy and didn't complement the meat sauce well at all. The bigger issue was that no one mentioned the substitution. If the restaurant was out of spaghetti, that's understandable, but customers should be told and given the option to order something else. I absolutely would have chosen a different dish had I known ahead of time. For $28, I expected a lot more attention to detail. When a menu describes a dish a certain way, especially at that price point for just sauce and noodles, it should either be served that way or the change should be communicated. Maybe this was just an off night, but if the dish had been served as described on the menu, the experience probably would have been very different. Unfortunately, this visit ended up feeling like a waste of money.

Tried Mr. G's for the first time and got the Wednesday special (lasagna, bread, sub side salad for…read moreextra bread). The lasagna itself didn't have much sauce, but there was plenty of sauce around it that it didn't make a difference either way and there was enough left over for the bread! The cheese made it a little hard to cut into, but overall it was delicious, and even better with their complimentary parmesan packets! They also provided red pepper flakes but I didn't use them.

After all of these years, I still love coming here for their pizza and pastas. Yes, I know that…read morethere are other places around the area that are newer and have flashier interior and menu. Mr. G's just has a little something that some of the other places don't. They're always super friendly and I always get a kick out of the chit chat that comes up around there. The pizzas are always good and we love their baked ziti with meat sauce. My husband always has to get an order of their spaghetti with meat sauce whenever we're there. It's just a well worn and much loved place in the community that I truly believe is a staple.

Next to a gas station. Service to go was great. Not for ambiance. Food tasty! Get it to go!read more

We decided to celebrate my birthday a little differently this year and skip the downtown crowds,…read moreopting instead for Milano's Italian Grill, and that turned out to be a great call. With a 20 mile hike ahead of me tomorrow, I figured loading up on carbs was not just justified, it was necessary. We have been here several times, and it truly never disappoints. Tonight was no exception. I did what I tend to do and over ordered. I went with a kids portion of spaghetti and meatballs along with my usual grilled salmon, and both were excellent. The portions were generous enough that I ended up taking about two thirds of the salmon home, which will make for a perfect Sunday lunch. My wife ordered the lasagna. While it was a bit on the soupy side, the flavor more than made up for it. It was still very enjoyable overall. The complimentary bread remains a highlight as always and is perfect for soaking up every last bit on the plate. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and the total bill came in under 50 dollars. In today's world, with gas pushing 4 dollars a gallon, that is hard to beat. We are leaving once again completely satisfied. Great food, a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, and none of the chaos from downtown. It makes you wonder if the crowds have figured out how good this place is yet or if they are all still on the other side of the river.

Nope. Not it. At all…read more The sugar sweet server gets the deuces. Without her they are a single star event. Kid wanted this for her birthday. Me and C obliged, but should have turned around immediately. That shit doesn't work out well for me, so I just go with it now. Bright lights, hard floors, cheap everything, including the food. Stiff no on all. Busted ass kitchen you can see spilling into the hallway and dining room. We got food at the hotel bar later. I think a lot of people are being too nice or have no idea what good food should taste like, the appropriate texture certain dishes should be, and what decent food tastes like. Tuscaloosa is a good food dessert! Please step up and recommend a place to prove me wrong, because this place sucks for restaurants. The calamari was the worst I've had. Kiddo is used to it being at least ok. Bad. All of the entrees sucked as well. All of them. No real reason to keep bashing. Look at my pictures. Have a good day. ' 25 - excess

There was a hiccup of a sauce not being available too late for one entree to be served in time with the other three entrees. To say the management and waitress made this right would be an understatement! We didn't even complain because we were having such a nice time, it really didn't matter. They were just overnice.

This was our first visit to Forte in Tuscaloosa, and I really wanted it to be love at first bite…read more The restaurant itself sets the mood perfectly -- clean, stylish, and with a bar area that practically waves you in for a drink before you can say "just water for me." The outdoor seating is a gem, especially on these cool October evenings when the humidity finally gives us a break. Dinner started off strong with a Caesar salad that hit all the right notes -- crisp, fresh, and flavorful. The croutons, though? Let's just say they could double as home defense. Then came my Mushroom Cream Pasta, rich and delicious in flavor, but the noodles were a bit too enthusiastic about staying firm -- more "al dente" than I ordered. My wife's Pan-Seared Salmon fared better -- flaky, well-seasoned, and politely reminding my pasta who's boss. The staff, to their credit, were wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and even comped my dish (which I insisted wasn't necessary). Despite tonight's hiccup, I'll be back. Forte has the charm, the service, and the potential -- I just hope next time my pasta decides to soften up a little!
