Sugo Italian Pasta Bar Reviews
This restaurant is amazing. Definitely worth visiting. Small and romantic. And the food..... Fantastic. I visited from out of town, had a late lunch. This is a place worth going to. The staff is warm and welcoming. I would definitely come back.
Very good food and amazing customer service.
Always amazingly yummy authentic Italian food prepared just like my Mom from Calabria. Dads Mom started the tradition in our family from a little town in Sicily.
