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.

Me and wife decided on this place for lunch after reading reviews…read more It was pretty busy but you seat yourself. They have both indoor and covered outdoor seating. We sat ourselves and was attended to relatively fast. The menu was a good lunch menu. Several sandwiches salads and burgers. Plus a few other items. We chose to get a pretzel to start and wife got the cbr salad which is a chopped salad with bacon cheese croutons and chicken. She got it fried. I opted for the da brees sandwich which is slow roasted roast beef. I also got my fries the Messi way which has cheese and bacon. Fire. I only wish there was some kind of au jus with the sandwich. I know others come with it but for some reason not this one. Would have made it even better. We were both very pleased with our orders as well as the pretzel. Best pretzel I've had in a long time. This was easily the best lunch we had during our trip here. Highly recommend.

There was a birthday party/dinner and a company wine-down all so there's plenty of room for large groups. Although it took a while to get someone to my table; the service ended up being pleasant. The crab cakes were a little salty but very good and the brussels paired well with them although my meal consisted of an appetizer and a side. Overall it was a chill atmosphere with great views. I recommend going during sunset.

There were about 4 other tables seated and bar 1/3 full. Service was very slow all around but friendly. My husband enjoyed his shrimp po'boy & fries. I enjoyed the chicken Caesar salad but did not like the dressing. It didn't taste like Caesar dressing at all and was heavy on balsamic flavor. I really tried to like it but ultimately asked for ranch which was good.

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.

Food was just okay. I did enjoy the caprese salad and…read morecheese bread with red sauce. They don't go shy on the sauce. However, the Greek pizza itself and Caesar salad itself lacked flavor and jazz. Wish the salad had some added flavor other than stale croutons. Dressing was oaky but you can tell it wasn't house made. The Greek pizza had lots of toppings, but it was loaded with cheese which took away from the pizza itself. The olives were a nice touch. But maybe adding feta instead of mozzarella with the red sauce would have been nice. The chicken on the pizza was okay. They had love music. Good place for large groups.

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!
