One of the best Italian places! The Frutti de Mare is amazing, and their pizzas are huge! The service there is excellent and I strongly recommend going here. read more

I have previously enjoyed dining at this restaurant many times, so my experience last week was quite a shock. Although the restaurant was not full, it took one hour for our food to arrive, and then one of the entrees was missing. Before that it took 30 minutes for the server to deliver our wine . When I asked to speak to the owner, I was told he was too busy to talk to us because he was cooking. However, he was not too busy to come out and talk to the relatives of one of the workers. He did comp our meal which was the decent thing to do. The hostesses were the only bright spot during this visit, and oh yes, the food read more

Would not recommend bringing any group larger than 3 to this restaurant. They weren't willing to split the check and wanted all of us to pay an even amount even though we got different items. Food was only decent with large portions. Waiter wasn't willing to work with us on splitting the bill and charged the person on the bill the remaining tax amount without telling us. read more

We hosted a Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party at Via Vino's at Sugo's Restaurant. We could not have asked for a better venue. The food was fabulous, the staff accommodating and extremely friendly, and the atmosphere perfect for guests to mix and mingle. It was an amazing event and we could not have been more pleased or had more fun. Thank you!!!! read more

Let's talk about what makes a restaurant great. For me, Sugo's is a great restaurant because it knows what it serves, knows how to make it well, keeps it simple, and is very reasonably priced. Compared to other Italian restaurants in the area, Sugo's has great, fresh dishes, and most are under $20 and even $15 bucks. The Caesar salad is also a standout, not overdressed, but perfectly crisp and tasty in a cheesy and tangy classic Caesar dressing...one of the best I've ever had. I sampled my date's meatballs, delicious and fresh-tasting with lots of basil, and my funghi pasta (mushroom, cheese and spinach) was light, but savory and satisfying. The prices are comparable or less than some chains that crank out food with far less panache or atmosphere. Even our picky, hard-to-please friend was very impressed with his salciccia dish and the attention to detail and flavors. Nice job, Sugo's. We will be back. read more

My wife loves the risotto specials with seafood and veggies. My kids love the spaghetti with a big giant meatball and the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. My favorite dish is the chicken spiedini over pasta, which is a special that they have almost every night. Every time that we have been there, the service has been great. And they also have a great wine list by the glass. read more

Speedy service in a rustic Tuscan atmosphere. Consistently delicious spaghetti with creamy tomato sauce and giant meatball with pork and beef as well as stupendous lasagne with very generous portion. Risotto and gnocchi specials vary but all I have tried have excelled. Excellent outing for the price!!! read more

AWESOME authentic Italian from the Del Pietro family in a causal and rustic cucina setting. OUTSTANDING chicken spiedini. Great red sauce pastas, especially if you ask for them spicy. GREAT wines that are very reasonable. Fast and efficient staff and good servers. One of our best Italian restaurants in town and it's both newer and more causal than much of the Hill. They have found a great mix of food, wine, and rustic atmosphere at Sugo. Easy parking out front and a FANTASTIC wine bar connected/next door---Via Vino, that also has a different food menu. A new GEM in St. Louis. Only complaint would be that they do not take reservations--so on Friday or Saturday you may have a wait. Consider a wine at Via Vino if you need to wait for a table. Great place before a night out, party or movie. Not a long, drawn-out dinner... great food relatively fast. Location in Frontenac is one of the best parts of St. Louis, very upscale and across from a very ritzy mall... Superb all around! read more

This place is awesome! The Ceaser salad was so tasty and large portion! Linguini with Italian sausage was so yummy!!! Chicken, carmelized onion pizza was the best we've ever had! Waitress was great! Will definitely go there again when we visit!!! read more

I will never go back to this restaurant or any related restaurants. After sitting at our table for an hour or more, we called over a waiter (not ours) and asked him to find our waiter and see what was taking so long to get our food. Our waiter saw him at our table and approached us and asked if we were ready for our bill. I lost it at that point and told the waiter (who we had not seen since he took our order) no we didn't want our bill we wanted the food we had ordered. Ten minutes later our food came out. I told him to take mine back, I didn't want it and wasn't going to pay for it. My wife and daughter took their meals home. The had the nerve to charge us for those meals. read more

Okay, I still really like this place for the food, service, and general atmosphere, but the last couple times I have been here, the hostesses have had a pretty poor attitude in my opinion. I think it has something to do with me bringing my wife plus three kids. They stuck us at a 4-top last time and we were pretty cramped, so I told the hostess it seemed unusual to put 5 people at a table with 4 place settings. You'd have thought I personally insulted the woman (who was probably no older than 18)-- I could hear her from across the room complaining to other staff how rude I was even though I thought I was being extremely polite. Almost walked out, but decided to stay. The next time we went, I came in before my family ans said "party of five!" and they told me we had to wait for the whole party to be present to seat us - I could tell they weren't happy about wasting what might be the only 6-top in the dining room on two adults and three children, but catty hostess reluctantly seated us there. They're making me not want to go there anymore, even though I like the food and the service is always fine. Might help if they had a few more large tables. read more

This was such a great place for our anniversary dinner. Nice atmosphere and amazing food all at really good prices. The tiramisu is out of this world! read more

One of our favorite places around. We love to eat at the wine bar connected to it next door (same owner, same kitchen so it's okay to review it here too:)). Spaghetti and meatballs are amazing. Had my birthday party here a couple of weeks ago, service was wonderful and everything was very timely. Thanks for a great time and always a great meal! read more

This restaurant is associated with Travolo V, so similar menu and service. Speaking of which, service was good. Ambience was OK - open air and nothing special. The food was good, but not great. We've heard, but haven't confirmed for ourselves, that the pizza is great. read more

We usually like Sugo's but tonight we had a really exceptional meal. We started with the cheese and olive appetizer. Nice selection of olives and blue cheese was really tasty tonight! A house salad was followed by a nightly special, linguine with lobster broth, shrimp, olive oil, basil and a little cheese. It was really good!!! With the addition of house red wine and tiramisu it was a wonderful dinner. read more

I would call this restaurant economical Italian. The chicken spedini was well seasoned but the chicken was overcooked and had a plastic taste to it. The side spaghetti that came with it was very small. Small menu which I would think would allow the kitchen to focus on the plates and make them awesome every time. One thing that did surprise and turned me off was when I went to pay cash for my carry out, I told the hostess the hostess I did not need the loose change back and her response was oh it doesn't matter because we don't give change here....can a restaurant do that? If a customer is due change I would think they would have to give it back. Restaurant is very dark and it is hard to see the menu and where you are walking. read more

When you go to a restaurant for the first time, first impressions mean everything. I knew that we would not be seated until the other couple that we were with arrived. I had read someones post on that. What I did not need was a hostess scolding me that we could not be seated, not one but both of them. The entry area was hot as Hades, with floor fans blowing air, we told them that we had to be seated where it was cool and we were told that they would put us in the far area of the restaurant, which had a different name? Five minutes later, the hostess seated us and still was not very pleasant. The meal was very good, price very reasonable but they only had one waitress for the whole area and recall was not good at all. Had to ask for tea and water on multiple occasions. When I rate a restaurant, I start with the attitude that it is 5 star, things that happen during the evening can only lower the rating. By the way, one of the servers spilled half the sauce from my dish onto my friend's wife's purse and leg; while bringing her plate to her and balancing mine, in the same hand. Never took mine back to add sauce to it. Also a large group at the bar was very noisy, right behind me, The lack of lighting required us to use our phones to read the menu. read more

We visited Sugo's tonight on a recommendation from a friend, and we were not disappointed! The decor is rustic, warm and homey; not at all what I expected from a restaurant located in a business plaza/strip mall-esque area. We were seated quickly and soon after greeted by our server, who continued to be attentive throughout the entire meal. The menus, both for the dinner and wine offerings, seem simple and short but are certain to offer something that you might be in the mood for (salads, pasta, pizzas and entrees). Additionally, there are daily specials - salads, entrees, and pasta dishes - that fill out the menu. My husband ordered a traditional caesar salad and pasta pomodoro (spagetti noodles with fresh tomatoes and parmesan) while I ordered a panzanella salad (asparagus, mixed olives, cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, red onions, greens and crusty bread pieces drizzled with balsamic vinegar) and spaghetti with meatballs. As if I wasn't impressed enough with the prices listed on the menu, I was blown away by the portion sizes of the dishes! The salads were generous, to the point that I didn't eat my entire salad so I could have room for my dinner, which was also a huge portion size (2 HUGE meatballs, probably each 1/3 lb, on a bed of spaghetti noodles with a tomato cream sauce). Gotta love leftovers! What really impressed me about Sugo's was the attention from the manager (or at least I assume he was the manager!). After our salads the manager stopped by to ask how we liked the salads and if there was anything that could be improved about them...I've never been asked for my critique before! Not only that, but then he actually listened to my response (if forced to change anything, I would've liked a little more bread in the panzanella)! The manager then came by to check on our entrees (no critiques there, quite delicious as they were) and then sent us tiramisu on the house! I was very impressed with this service and responsiveness, especially since the restaurant was great anyways, they didn't need to compensate for anything! Overall we had a terrific experience and I will certainly return to Sugo's! read more

If you're looking for a slightly different environment, then Sugo is for you. Menu is relatively small, but choices are good. Staff is well trained and the food is delicious. Great lasagna dish. Don't be in a hurry here as the wait can be long and it's a bit noisy. read more

Better than the majority of Italian places on The Hill and reasonably priced. Definitely a fan.

Food was bland. Restaurant was cute and the prices were reasonable, but the menu is limited and the food wasn't good. It was disappointing. read more

Delicious dinner with great portion size. Waiter didn't come back enough for drink orders though causing us to cash out early. Will definitely return due to the quality of food! read more

Not my first visit - but will certainly be my last . Service was okay - no complaints there, but the food was mediocre at best. Bread was stale and cold. Salad was fine - actually the best part of the meal. I had a shrimp dish - my companion had the veal special . We both thought they were almost burnt and were tasteless and tough. The pasta that was served with them was totally bland. The server pretended not to notice that we ate so little of our entrees and declined to have the rest boxed. read more

I had the pasta special with mussels and shrimp. The seafood had clearly been left under a heating lamp and was dried up and almost inedible. My friend's seafood pasta was cold. He sent it back, and got it back hot, but overcooked. We both felt that we could cook something much better at home and have saved a lot of money! read more

Food is good for the price, risotto is especially nice. Service however has really gotten bad over the last year. Had a waiter argue with me over a bad bottle of wine a few months ago and last night restaurant was not even 1/2 full but we sat there for almost 15 minutes without any service. Several servers smiled as they walked past our table. When we got up to leave the manager actually came out of the kitchen with a smile and said, "Thanks for coming, have a nice night!" Go to Brio across the street. Cost more but food is well above average and the service is excellent. read more

I recently arranged a birthday party for my wife and had Sugo's cater the event. It was an outside party. Working with Michael Del Pietro was as smooth as you could want. Ryan and his staff who worked the party were wonderful! I highly recommend considering Sugo's for your next occasion. read more

Went to dinner last night. They do not take reservations. Not open table. Not noWait. Nothing. I was meeting three friends for dinner at 6:00 and a then to a show at 7:30. Since I picked the dinner place, and they don't take reservations, I got there early at 5:45 to make sure we could get a table. They will not seat until entire party is there. So I stood there and waited. There were 15+ available tables that I could see from where I was standing. I said I would order wine and apps and start eating. Nope. So guests arrived and we were seated. Told our waiter that we were in bit of a hurry and took him 15 minutes to return to take our order. ugh. Food was fine. Had to ask for more wine. Others nearby offer reservations so we will stick to those - Brio, Bricktop, Cardwells, etc. If I am meeting my husband after work and cannot be seated until he gets there (this happened two weeks ago), it's not worth it to return to this restaurant at all. Just last evening there were several other parties in the same situation. I cannot imagine what the business is gaining from this practice. read more
