EAT.
Sugo
In simpler terms, "sugo" refers to the unforgettable tomato sauce that forms the base for many Italian dishes. Just like the restaurant named after it, owned by Alex Wallen, Connor Joerin, and Scott Pennock, this spot in Bloordale keeps things simple.
According to Wallen, who manages the front of the house, the trio wanted this restaurant to have a down-to-earth vibe, inspired by their love for veal sandwiches. After a week of exploring old-school eateries in NYC and Brooklyn, they aimed to recreate their favorite dishes like spaghetti pomodoro, stuffed peppers, veal sandwiches, and classic caprese salad.
This cozy spot doesn't take reservations and offers about 20 seats scattered around the room, along with a foosball table to add to the nostalgic atmosphere. Grab a Moretti or Castello beer, maybe a Brio or espresso, and chat with the owners while they work their magic. A neighbourhood must-try!
