If you crave a good family styled Italian meal, this is the place to be! It's a casual and upbeat spot just across from the Lawnsdowne TTC station. This is actually a review of Bar Sugo, the sister restaurant next door owned by the same owners as Sugo with the same menu but with wood burning pizza ovens. We came in at 5:15pm and the place was already packed on a Tuesday night! We placed our name on the wait list and was told a wait of 30 mins for a table for 2. We walked in next door and were seated right away at Bar Sugo which is double the size as Sugo. The menu was simple and we ordered the meatball, Spaghetti Pomodoro and veal parm to share. The texture of the spaghetti was perfectly chewy and you can taste the freshness. The veal parm was flavorful and the portions were generous. The tiramisu is one of the best I've had in the city and it's perfectly portioned for sharing. I would definitely be back to try more of the pasta and the 14 inch pizza pie.
Genuinely so amazing. Price was so good for the amount of food you get. My pasta was HUGE! Pesto was creamy and bright. Got a hugo spritz too which was well done. I would describe this spot as elevated Italian comfort food. First time in Toronto and now I definitely want to go back to get this again!
Fantastic good done American-Italian style. Things to know. - close to the Lansdowne subway. - they don't take reservations so you need to get there right at 5 pm or put your name on a waitlist. After 7 pm they stop taking names as chances are you won't get in. (They close around 9 pm). You may wait as long as 90+ minutes for a table. - it's a small place so not a lot of tables. - really reasonable $ and awesome food. - they have a sister resto and bar just steps away with pretty much the same menu except they serve pasta and the bar serves pizza. It's also open later. - the portions are good sized and meant to be shared. We had the meatball (sooo good), Caesar salad (oh the garlic lol), garlic bread and bolognese. It was too much for us to eat. The salad could serve 3-4 ahead of the meal. Everyone was so nice including the concierge. Great, friendly vibe.
This well-known Italian restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, delicious dishes at reasonable prices. It's always busy, and since they don't take reservations, we waited about 30 minutes--but it was worth it. The interior is cozy and a little small, with an old-school Italian vibe that feels warm and welcoming. The staff were really friendly and attentive. We tried the Rigatoni Rose pasta, which was a creamy - rigatoni was al dente, and the rose sauce had a rich creaminess and subtle tomato tang, each bite was flavorful, especially with fresh parmesan cheese. We also tried the Spaghetti Pesto which was equally impressive-- fresh, and aromatic, with a pesto that clung to every strand of pasta. For dessert we had the Tiramisu which was light and airy, yet decadently creamy not too sweet or heavy. Just made perfectly. This is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant so far and i would definitely recommend.
Italian comfort food at its best - great flavour, big portions, no frills! We tried the buratta, caesar salad, rigatoni, pesto spaghetti, and chicken parm. The buratta and fresh tomatoes were so light and balanced out the fried dough perfectly. The lightly shredded parm on the salad and pastas were chefs kiss. The pastas were both perfectly al dente. I personally preferred the rigatoni more - it was really flavourful and savory. The chicken parm was solid but the other dishes stood out more. All in all, this meal was great value for the quality and portions. Our server was very friendly. We came mid-day so didn't have to wait in line. I would definitely want to return but I'm not sure if I would wait in a long line to eat again.
WOOAH!! That's what your taste buds will say as soon as you have a bite. Went here with my friend and I'm so glad she picked this place because omg, probably the best Italian food in Toronto! My favourite was the pesto cream - rich, creamy yet super herby. Doesn't make you feel yucky after having it. The calamari was fresh and not oily at all - the marinara sauce was not too acidic. The garlic bread could've been more toasted and garlic-y. Would definitely take my boyfriend here!
A Toronto beloved and favourite, if you ask just about anyone, Sugo lands as one of the top Toronto Italian restaurants to visit. We were in the area and so we had our hearts set out to finally check it out. Sugo is very busy so it can be very hard to find a spot. The wait can be up to an hour at times. Lucky for us there were a few bench seats available so we got seated right away. Note, there is so reservation so you just have to either wait, come early/when they just open or get lucky. The staff are really efficient and attentive and they get you seated prompted though, when a seat becomes available. The food also came out super quickly once we ordered. The restaurant itself if small and has that small diner feel. Sugo is known as an American Italian restaurant and it definitely gets the vibes right. Food-wise, everything was amazing. We got the calamari, gnocchi and spaghetti pesto cream with sugo. The calamari were perfectly crispy and surprisingly not too oily. Paired with the marinara sauce, it was perfect. Of the two pasta dishes, I loved the spaghetti the most, the noodles were cooked just right (al dente) and and sauce was very well balanced with the cream and sugo. The gnocchi was also delicious and so soft that it basically melts in your mouth. They also have a daily special and sometimes use pasta from other famous pasta shops like Famiglia Baldassarre. I'll have to come back again for their rigatoni. Also, we didn't order the tiramisu this time but we've tried it at their sister restaurant Bar Sugo, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Definitely a Toronto gem and worth the visit if you don't mind the wait.
I've been riding my bike past this place - and noticing the line up - for years, but we finally had a chance to check it out this weekend (during Big On Bloor) and I totally get it. Of course the place is busy, and the wait staff are running, and the music is energetic, and it's a whole vibe. The menu is simple and we all went for the pastas. There was a lasagna with meat sauce (beef, pork, veal) on special and I had that. My my wife had a pesto cream spaghetti and we did a swap. They were both delicious. The lasagna was a delight, deeply cheese-y balanced by the sauce which had a wonderful bright tang. The pesto was extremely moreish, subtle and rich and creamy on first bites but you can't stop eating it. I enjoyed having the two flavours together (go with a close friend or trusted associate). The portions were pretty substantial. We paired it with a house Italian pilsner (made by Indie Alehouse) and it was the perfect drink to go with the pasta. We brought along our two nieces who were in town for the weekend and they both really enjoyed it as well. They were suitably impressed by both the food and the up-beat mood of the place. Considering how busy it was, and that they were also serving to the street side patio, the service was amazing. These guys have it down and they really seem to love what they are doing - you can feel it. So now I understand what the line-up is all about. Will Sugo again. Bravo!
We've been waiting a while to get a chance to visit Sugo, but it just so happened that we were in the area during the day ahead of the dinner rush and there was no wait to get in. This is a walk-in only restaurant (typically 45+ min waiting times) and they take only debit/cash. Sugo is a local favorite for many Torontonians, so it was a great chance to try it for ourselves. Since it is the summer season, they have their roadside patio open for more seating, normally it is only their limited indoor bar and table seating. The staff was attentive and responsive, the food came out pretty quickly, within 15 mins of ordering. What we (2) ordered... - Calamari, was very crispy and fresh, the Aioli and Marinara sauces were great compliments, the Banana Peppers weren't too spicy (when you remove the seeds) - Gnocchi, gnocchi with their house signature sauce, it was extremely pillow-y in texture, the basil and whipped ricotta added a great balance to the sauce - Spaghetti Pesto Cream with Sugo, spaghetti with their house signature sauce, the pesto cream was amazing and was well balanced We finished every bite and scraped the plate clean of the sauce. It was delicious. Although the meal might be "simply", it was masterfully created. Would be back again when they aren't too busy to try their Rigatoni and parms. Although we didn't get their Tiramisu this time, it is very good, as we had the same next door at Bar Sugo.
Sugo!! one of the most hyped italian restaurants in toronto. Great portions and flavours. I reccomend the rigatoni! I sat at their patio and it's a bit small but it's vibes! The insides are the same, with all tables close to eachother. Pizza is good, but don't like how the pizza crust is burnt. I still have to try their Tiramisu! Very chaotic street wouldn't recommend driving here, but taking transit. And very long waitlist if you do not come early.
Sugo is a very popular small restaurant at Bloor and Lansdowne. Food (4/5) - Pesto Crème Spaghetti - this is a creative looking dish with a very creamy pesto sauce. Pasta cooked well just past al dente. I'm not a white sauce fan tbh and it's quite rich - cheese, cream and butter so heads-up on that part. - Stuffed Peppers - oven roasted banana peppers and veal. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't all pepper with some stuffing but the other way around... mostly meat! Sugo sauce is very good with perfect balance of tang and taste. I could imagine it being great on any of the dishes. Service (4.5/5) - server was friendly and knowledgeable and checked in appropriately. Water refills quickly. Atmosphere (4/5) - small with maybe 10 tables set close together. Some memorabilia on the walls and fairly clean. Overall (4.25/5) - definitely worth trying and will repeat to try other Sugo sauce dishes. They don't take reservations so be aware this place is lined up often especially on the weekends.
So good! We came at an oddish time (3pm?) the wait was shorter than I expected but the place was still bustling! Everything we ordered was so good, we especially enjoyed the pasta. The place is quite cozy. Highly recommend trying this place. I would come back again and try their other dishes
I cannot rave enough about the place! I had heard about the lineups out the doors (and there are even chairs outside to prove it!) so I made sure to go on a weekday right at opening hours. At 1130am, I was able to walk into the restaurant and grab a table for two but by noon, this place was packed with people waiting outside! All servers made it such an enjoyable experience and took the time to explain the menu to us (many in there at the time were first timers). Food came fast and it was deeeeeelicious! I opted for a spaghetti and meatball platter and as a pasta lover, I thought I could eat it all on my own. Wrong, dead wrong, it is enough to serve two to four people! I also had the tiramisu which was so rich and flavourful. Side note, don't eat tiramisu and smile at the same time, you are guaranteed to have cocoa/coffee powder all over your teeth and that ain't cute. Right at the corner of Landsdowne and Bloor, near little Italy, this place is a gem. Big portions, cheap prices, very friendly staff, what more can you ask for? *cash / debit only, limited (about 25-30 people?) seating, closed on Sundays. read more

Delicious homemade Italian food! Great location, amazing and super welcoming staff, very cozy comfort food. We got the burrata appetizer and the Sugo platter with a mountain of spaghetti and Caesar salad. The burrata is a new item, it was perched on top of yummy garlic bruschetta. The tomato garlic bits around it were too salty for us, but the rest was great. Spaghetti was handmade just down the road and their sauce was amazing. We thought the platter would come with less food but we were wrong! Finished the meal off with a creamy tiramisu, only wished it had more boozy and coffee flavor. Place was busy but service was quick. The Sugo platter was fantastic value, only $20 for that heap of tasty fresh pasta and salad!! Next time we visit Toronto we'll definitely come back and try the meatballs! read more

A very authentic spot for pasta! Very affordable too. I love ordering their rigatoni and spaghetti with a side of meatball appetizer. Their portions for the spaghetti is massive and generous, especially for the price you pay for this dish. I always end up with leftovers and asking for a take out box. Service is friendly but I just wish the place was a bit bigger. There is always a long wait during peak times as the restaurant only has limited seating (so expect a wait, even for their take out too). Hopefully they can open up a second bigger location in the future. read more

I crave Sugo all the time!! Great value for money with huge portions, warm lively over the top staff with excellent service, and the food is A+ For $20, you get a main + pasta that definitely can't be finished in one seating. The eggplant parm is fried to perfection smothered in Sugo sauce and the meatball is mouth watering. Rigatoni, so good! There will always be a line! Go at odd times and go with two. Usually groups of 4+ around dinner time will wait for 1.5 hours +. Grab Sugo sauce to go for $10! It's a bit to the sweet side so chilli flakes is a good touch. read more

I was in the mood for some comforting Italian food. So happy to have chosen Sugo. Caesar salad was on point. Calamari was tender and savory. Veal Parmigiana sandwich was delicious. We also had the eggplant parmigiana that was equally delicious. To finish we had the cannoli and espresso. You won't be disappointed- worth the wait. read more
I would like to thank the internet for introducing me to this restaurant. I have been a frequent foodie at this restaurant ever since I discovered this gem on Bloor. The food is amazing, the vibes are amazing, and the staff (high energy which makes the overall experience). I know I am being really repetitive with the word "amazing" but that is exactly how I feel from beginning to end. read more

Came on a Friday at 6pm - from Mississauga. There was a long line - but we came and didn't mind the wait. Put our name down for the wait list and came back an hour later. I ordered the rigatoni with chicken parmigiana. The portion was huge, sauce was on point, the chicken was crispy and great amount of cheese. Heaven. Dessert - tiramisu, although they say it's big so you can share it but I'd eat the whole damn thing myself. It has to be the best tiramisu I had in a restaurant, very creamy. The vibe is very, very busy New York vibe with close seating arrangements. They always had 10-15 people waiting in line - you know this place is good. Alex one of the owners was real cool. Definitely coming back. read more
Cute red and white checkered table cloths? Check. Italian cocktails appropriate for drinking in the day? Check. Some of the best pasta I've had in ages? Check. Everything everyone has told you about Sugo is 100% true. This place is delicious, delightful and should be at the top your list to check out. They have many apps, a few salads, three perfect pastas and good ol' Italian sammies. I had a negroni, a glass of red, the caesar salad and the rigatoni. The rigatoni is perfect in a spicy pink sauce, and her and I really had something together. I can't wait to see her again. read more

With a warm and friendly welcome, Sugo felt like I was at a friends house and they ask me what I want to eat so their Nonna could make it for me. They have generous portions and the food is delicious. They also have take out boxes so you can take what you can't finish home. Just so you know the leftovers taste just as delicious! I ordered the platter with spaghetti and veal and the affoggato for dessert. I love this place and I can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. read more

My favorite pasta spot. Service is incredible and the food is even better. I love eating here. The portions are huge! They're a small spot so if you want to go be prepared to wait a bit (but it's worth it). Can't wait to go back read more
This place was really busy on a weekday afternoon (3pm), if you come after 4, there will be a bit of a wait. Customer service is great here, the staff are very friendly. I had the giant meatball which was delicious although the sauce it came in was a bit too salty. The spaghetti was good (cooked al dente) and the portion size is huge. The best part of the meal was the tiramisu - it was creamy, decadent and chocolaty, get the tiramisu if you come to Sugo! read more
This place is wonderful. I recently discovered that it was included in the top 100 best restaurants in Toronto and honestly, I was not surprised :) I have been here three times already, and everything I've tried has been incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection so far. Last time I ordered the calamari because I felt like trying an appetizer and they were tender, perfectly fried and tasted even better with the delicious mayo sauce. In my opinion the star dish of this restaurant is the meatball sandwich. Everytime I order this it feels like eating my mum's or grandumum's meatballs - the meat melts in your mouth, and their tomato sauce is out of this world and probably the best tomato sauce I've tried on any pizza, pasta or meat dish, ever. read more
Probably the best Italian food I've had out there. Loved the atmosphere of the place including their service. If I can change one thing though it would be the volume of the music. The place is small and from what it seems, always busy, so it would be nice to be able to hear your company. Calamari - For $12, you get a pretty generous serving. My friend and I shared it and we pretty much got 1.5 squids each. Yep, you get that much. The garlic sauce had a nice kick but of course the marinara was on point. Calamari was perfectly deep fried; not too greasy and the perfect texture. 5/5. Rigatoni - My friend opted for the Rigatoni which was absolutely delicious. The sauce!!! Lawdamercy. 5/5. Spaghetti - I rarely order spaghetti at Italian restaurants but after seeing the huge mound on others' plates, I just had to. I'm very very happy I did because it was so damn good. The bolognese sauce was great and the noodles were perfectly al dente - just how I like it! I would honestly go back just for this. The portion is also so huge that I guarantee you will have leftovers. 5/5. read more
Food 4/5, Ambience and service 5/5 Everyone working was super energetic, lively, and friendly and seem to know half the customers by name. So overall the ambience was great and the vibe transports you to some place not Toronto. Arrived at around 6:15 on a Saturday night and waited 40 min for two people. The wait was honestly not bad and went by pretty quickly because there's so much going on in the restaurant it was actually kind of entertaining to observe and absorb everything. Food was good with very good portions and price (you will definitely have leftovers for tomorrow). Tiramisu was also really yummy. Nothing jumped out as wow but for the price and value it's hard to beat. Really enjoyed my experience here and can't wait to be back! read more

Your classic American / Italian spot. These guys know how to do it right. Food is delish, always keep an eye on their specials. Service is spectacular, they treat you like family. I'm vegan and they let me know that I should get the Pomodoro. one of our fave spots in town. Thanks guys. read more
Why is this place amazing? Because the people in side are amazing. The staff at this spot are so bangin'. They are perfect at checking in, making sure you're not feeling rushed, or helping with checking out their menu. The menu is simple, thank god, I have a hard time ordering when there's a million things. I had the spaghetti and the pesto sauce pasta as well as mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks are to die for. They are so chewy and stringy. We came on a weekend and there was a bit of a line~30 mins so be prepared to wait. Even when we finished there were still people waiting. I would say come on a weekday to avoid lines or just explore the area while you wait. It's an interesting spot in Toronto that I don't normally see. read more

I visited Sugo with a few friends from Parkdale Toronto. We weren't sure what to expect as far as the 'sharing' dishes were concerned but went open-minded. Having seen the menu, the sharing of dishes was a fantastic idea, giving us the opportunity to try lots of different dishes. Service was attentive, yet personal and really quite delightful it's,lovely to see people enjoy their job! The cooking of every element was impeccable, and the price was very reasonable. All you need to know is that place is Fucking dope and the people that own it are as well. Thanks to my boy Benny and Hambone for Changing my life that I can't eat any other Italian spots after having this. read more

I'd like to begin here by wondering aloud, "how do these guys make any money?" The food quality, portion sizes and affordable prices are at levels that could easily put any regular business... out of business! Sugo is located right at Lansdowne and Bloor in Brockton Village. It's a modest sized restaurant with seating for approximately 25-35. But if they're busy when you arrive don't worry, the turn over is fairly quick AND if in a hurry you can always get food to go. It's essentially an Italian sandwich shop, with all the hot sandwich staples on a giant kaiser bun (Veal/Chicken cutlet, eggplant parmigana, meatball, etc), with all the additional toppings you could hope for. They also offer several varieties of standard pasta, a spaghetti bolognese, a Rigatoni with a rose sauce, and house made gnocchi topped with whipped Ricotta cheese. Drooling yet? I am. The best deal in the house is to go with the platter option which is basically a sandwich, without the bun with either a salad or pasta on the side. I went with the platter option and got a meatball with a "side" of Spaghetti bolognese. And got a Caprese salad to share. The caprese salad was basically a mutant tomato sliced into 4 pieces with their house made/pulled mozarella sliced and placed in between. It was a meal on it's own so beware. Now, when I said that the platter came with a side of pasta I didn't mean like a side plate snack. Nope. Think of the meatball as Arnold Schwarzenegger, massive, meaty, super thick and then the "side of spaghetti is the TANK that Arnold rides around his complex for fun. It was no shitty side arm, this was a feat of food as epic as the soft ball sized meatball. The pile of pasta towered a solid 6-7 inches off the plate, with a base just as wide.... WHAT? And to make matters worse/better/more epic, everything taste exactly the way my family has been cooking this for generations. Holy MEATBALLS!!! I left panting, full, and a little dizzy. Yes I finished everything on my plate - because that's what we Italians do. When a meal is this good you show it the respect it deserves and polish the plate and ask for some bread to mop up the left over Sugo (sauce in Italian). Best value for money, best quality and my new favourite Italian restaurant in the city! Eatcrest Out read more
Sugo reminds me of a restaurant you would see in the Sopranos. Cool boxing decor, red and white checkered tables and a sense of family. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon (thank god) we ordered the spaghetti with meatball, garlic bread and rigatoni... for starters we had a stuffed pepper which I wouldn't consider a starter because it was so small. However the combo of the garlic bread and the pasta hit the spot. It's not authentic Italian eats, I would say it's more American Italian comfort food! I had to use salt on all the pastas but overall I really enjoyed myself. If I'm looking for that comforting Italian cuisine then I'll come back! Keep Eating, Angela read more

I found this restaurant when looking through my favorite Toronto Instagram food scene influencer @toreats. I come to Toronto a lot for work so I am looking for new places to eat. Sugo did not disappoint and it is now one of my favorite places to eat. From @toreats I saw someone posted the rigatoni so I had to order that with a side of chicken parm. I am telling you this now, IT IS THE BEST RIGATONI AND CHICKEN PARM I EVER HAD! this is from someone who grew up on Italian food living in the New Jersey/New York area in the US. I was surprised of the great Italian food in Toronto but one of the workers told me that the area originally had a large population of Italians and Portuguese people. :) The portion was huge and It was nicely smothered in a vodka sauce that wasn't too sour or sweet. Pasta was cooked to al dente and the large two pieces perfectly battered with Italian spices was delicious. I couldn't finish it because it was so big. My co workers had to help me finish it. My co workers both got gnocchi. One ordered the pomodoro based on and the other was the special of cream and spinach. Again sauces were perfect as it nice and creamy and not overly sweet or sour. However the gnocchi had small pieces so I would recommend to try something else. Obviously the rigatoni as that's what they are known for. I want to come back (definitely here multiple times) and try their sandwiches. Things to note: it gets very busy even during the weekdays so I suggest getting their earlier. Traffic is crazy during rush hour (5:30-7:30pm) so just watchout for that. The restaurant is small with a simple yet mighty menu so wait times are a little long. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table of 3 so instead we walked around and got ice cream around the corner. I highly suggest this place from a huge foodie as the place won't disappoint. read more

I went to Sugo for the first time in the summer and tried their Spaghetti. I can confidently say it was the best Spaghetti I have ever had! My friend got their Rigatoni and that was also delicious. I can't wait to dine here again. Definitely a 10/10 experience. read more

Came here during the Bloor festival so it was a lot busier (even though it's always busy here!). Been meaning to try Sugo for years now, but the amount of traffic here always delayed things since they don't take reservations. The food here is your simple classic, but delicious italian food. We ordered the veal parm with rigatoni, the burrata bruschetta, the mozz sticks, the special of the day (lasagna) and the tiramisu. Expect to pay around $40pp here. The burrata bruschetta seemed to be a very popular item to order. I've never had bruschetta with whole roasted garlic pieces mixed in, this was probably the best bruschetta I've had! Very fragrant. The veal parm and rigatoni was really good as well! The special of the day was the lasagna and the pasta used was very tender (likely freshly made pasta). We also ordered a cocktail each! I would avoid getting the mozz sticks as they only give you 4 small sticks for the price of $9. It was good, but not worth it, in my opinion. The tomato sauce provided was delicious though. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. FYI - They take only cash or Canadian debit. We were told somebody tried to pay with a US debit card, which they don't accept, so be prepared if you're coming from out of the country! read more

Perfect casual Italian...with the prices to match! (Again, dunno why Italian food is soo pricey here/has to be in a fancy joint.) Anyway, menu is simple. The "Platter" option required a bit of explanation to me. I'm still not sure if certain sauces only come with certain pastas. According to the friendly waiter, everything - excluding the Moz Sticks and Rigatoni pasta itself - is made in-house. After some debating, I shared a Rigatoni, Caprese, & yes, a Tiramisu with 1 other person. Amount was just right and we did not have leftovers. Everything was really good, but the Rigatoni stood out. Cooked perfectly al dente and the rosé sauce was so creamy and rich, but not overly heavy! Nice red beefsteak tomatoes used for the Caprese. Tiramisu, made in-house, was heavenly and we had to try it even though the pasta/salad filled us up nicely. :) Staff were very welcoming, friendly. I was even offered a sample of Lambrusco when I found out that they had it. And it wasn't that crap from the LCBO. Lotsa patrons seemed to be regulars who are from the neighbourhood. I'd definitely go back when I'm in the Bloor/Lansdowne area next! P.S. Why aren't there more places like this? It's such an easy concept! read more
Came here based on recommendations on the food and left 5 stars based on the service! (From friends in the industry) My hopes were somewhat high and they delivered !! Staff explained the menu in full details as well as offer a table as we were sitting at the bar when one cleared up. As busy as they are they know how to run their kitchen 110 percent. Ordered a meatball and rigatoni + chicken cutlet platter, it was enough for my girlfriend and I as we didn't want to drive back to Markham dying from itis! Fair warning from staff that, that was going to be a possibility if we didn't split our meal. Food was amazing and at the given price point a great buck for your buck. As no frills the food may seem they sure know how to bring out the frills without a doubt. a little funny story my bill was 32 and change for the both of us and I gave $30 insisting on keeping the change thinking it was $40. The was an awkward 45 seconds after I realized, nonetheless the staff were friendly and took it as a OBVIOUS mistake on my part. Why would I insist on them keeping the change if I still owed them money LOL. I'm still a little embarrassed hours later writing this review. I would come back as it's not too far from the downtown core but worth the travel to satisfy a carb craving. read more

This place is freaking good. Such a cool vibe and the food was fantastic, although I was in a serious carb coma afterwards. Got the rose rigatoni and Cesar salad and also the bolognese and meatball. It was so much food we hardly made a dent and so reasonably priced. read more

This place is overhyped.... the food was quite mediocre however the line was out the door the entire time we were there. We tried the Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. The meatball was delicious. However the rest was forgettable. read more
We recently moved to this hood, and I was excited to try Sugo. Food was tasty; prices reasonable - though pricier than on their online menu for some items (e.g. some appetizers were $1 higher at the restaurant). Biggest downer was the service. Service was on the suffocating side - felt like they wanted us out quickly & the second we finished one plate we had a staff member pop in to remove it. Really hard to relax and enjoy your meal with them hovering. With the service in mind, the restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 30 seats, and it got really busy on Friday night. Rating: 3.5 stars - rounded it to 4. P.S. if curious, the platter is $3 cheaper and does not include bread. For example: gnocchi pasta + veal sandwich minus the bread will cost $23 instead of $26. Personally don't consider this much of a deal as the portion seemed quite a bit smaller than purchasing it separately. read more

We drove from Markham all the way downtown just to come here and I would do it all over again. First off, the portions are VERY generous and prices are super reasonable given the portions ($10-$15). We took the spaghetti with added cheese which was their special off menu item at the time and I also took the rigatoni with half plate of caesar salad. Everything looked simple but tasted fresh and delicious! This is perfect comfort food. The service was also really nice and we were seated pretty fast once we got to the door. The only thing you should watch out for is that the interior is modest and has fairly limited seating. We had to wait around 30 mins for two people to get a spot for dinner but I find that pretty common for Toronto especially places that do not take reservations like Sugo. read more
Only came for pickup. You can order ahead from their website or they also take order on the spot. Service was awesome. A staff was taking orders outside, keeping the rest of them safe inside. He was very nice and friendly. They do sell out of some items so if you really want something, make sure to order ahead. If you follow their Instagram, they announce some daily specials too. Food was fantastic and the portion was generous. read more
