The pasta was cold and the portion was very small. It also costs a lot. Not recommended at all. Do not go. Looking at other reviews it seems like it’s not the first time that the pasta was served cold and yes, I told the waitress that the dish was cold and she asked me if I wanted it to be warmed up in the microwave and that would have made it even worse. So I ate my 20.90$ pasta, payed and left, and I will definitely never come back

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Had dinner at Sugo with some great friends this Friday evening… Walking off the busy University Boulevard you will be greeted by the amazing aroma of a busy Italian kitchen and a light roar of cheerful conversation. Seating is tight but comfortable and the staff are friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Our waitress was well versed on the wine selection and had some good recommendations for my wife. Our food was hit and miss. I ordered the Veal Florentine that was served at room temperature. The “cream sauce” was sliced provolone that was melted on but had cooled and reconstituted please see the provided picture. The spinach and prosciutto under the cheese were cooled below room temperature. The linguine noodles were flavorful but slightly undercooked. My friends son ordered the chicken Alfredo which he said was good but was plated like it was prepared from a buffet, see pictures for reference. The Eggplant parmesan was on point as my friend who never eats more than half of his meal almost finished the dish. The Caprese had a unique plating, more like a salad but was fresh and full of flavor. Overall we all enjoyed our experience at Sugo.

Sugo is my new favorite restaurant in Tuscaloosa, and I always stop in when I’m there! The food is delicious, and the portion size for the price is amazing. I always have leftovers for lunch the next day. The tiramisu is my absolute favorite! The staff is friendly, and the owner always walks around greeting guests and checking to make sure you’re enjoying your experience. Definitely give Sugo a try! It will likely become one of your new favorite spots.
