Hidden Gem on Surrey Street: Sugo's Affordable Elegance Sugo on Surrey, nestled discreetly on Surrey Street, has effortlessly secured its place as one of Guelph's finest hidden gems, delivering an exceptional yet affordable fine dining experience. My recent visit left me in awe, marking it as one of the best culinary adventures in the Guelph area. One of the standout features of Sugo is its ever-changing menu, ensuring that repeat visits bring forth new and exciting flavors. This dynamic approach to dining is a refreshing departure from the mundane, promising an experience that stays engaging and enjoyable. The service at Sugo is nothing short of impeccable, earning a solid 10/10. Our server demonstrated genuine care and attention to detail, elevating our dining experience to new heights. Every aspect, from recommendations to ensuring our comfort, was handled with a level of professionalism and warmth that left a lasting impression. Our culinary journey began with the highly recommended calamari fritti, and it did not disappoint. The calamari was fried to perfection, boasting a delightful crispiness, and was complemented by a sauce that tantalized our taste buds. Its unique flavor left us intrigued, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dish. Moving on to the salads, often considered a basic offering, Sugo's attention to detail shone through. The salads were a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality, proving that even the simplest dishes can be elevated to a level of excellence. The star of the show, however, was the lobster linguine. Undoubtedly the best dish on the menu, the lobster was impeccably fresh, with no hint of unpleasant odor. The creamy sauce struck a perfect balance, enhancing the overall dining experience without overwhelming the palate. Our family also indulged in other main dishes, each proving to be an incredible delight. Discovering Sugo on Surrey was a serendipitous moment during a casual night out, and I can confidently assert that it stands as one of, if not the best fine dining experience in Guelph. Its unassuming location near downtown adds to its charm, making it a true hidden gem that deserves recognition. In the realm of Guelph's culinary scene, Sugo on Surrey reigns supreme, offering a dining experience that is simply unparalleled. Period.

This was our 5th anniversary, and while the meal was overall satisfactory, it wasn't what we had hoped it would be based on viewing the menu and reading reviews. My wife enjoyed her pasta, we both enjoyed the calamari, however my steak was undercooked to my preference for Ribeye - Medium - and took 30 minutes to come out. I couldn't say anything because it was sliced, and would have to be recooked completely - after which my wife would already be done with her meal... the vegetables also tasted like the water they were boiled in - thankfully it was all served with a ton of butter on top of the steak so they were mostly edible aside from some mushy broccolini that had just absorbed so much of the cooking water they were reheated in. The worst part of the whole meal sadly, was the fact that the whole restaurant smelt like the bathroom cleaner from the second we walked in. We were seated and the smell only got stronger. Once I walked into the bathroom, I almost choked because of how strong the product was. Something that is incredibly difficult to enjoy regardless of my scent sensitivities when trying to enjoy a celebratory dinner. I commented on the smell when we first arrived to which I was told that's how it always smells... I suppose this should have been my sign to leave. The meal overall was average and I would try the restaurant again as my wife did enjoy her seafood linguine, however the environment of the meal was absolutely terrible and I would certainly ask to sit outside next time if I was to return.

Overall really great apps, but mains fell short of the mark. We went with crab dip and calamari for apps - both blew us out of the water! Perfect balance of flavours for both, crab dip was such a generous portion and the breadsticks were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the right amount of parm dusting - it’s everything I ever wanted and more. We were told calamari was a staple and we understood why - not your typical calamari, this had a lovely tomato based sauce and still retained a decent crunch, we could eat this all day. Now for the mains, the smoked salmon pizza was quite good, however it was a tad dry (needed more sauce), and more capers for the acidic bite would have been nice. The butternut squash ravioli…you should steer clear of that… it made me question the whole pasta menu. The ravioli pasta shell was sooo thick, and the cook was quite far under al dente 😬 There was also a lack of salt in every component - the pasta was clearly not cooked in water that was salted enough, the filling was lacking flavour, the cream topping with the pesto mixed into a very unappetizing colour and just weighed the dish down to eternity. The ravioli was in desperate need of an acid!! Such a sore disappointment, I really wanted to love it after seeing all the reviews 😔 Not sure if we will return…maybe just for a couple apps and exploring the pizza side of things

Decided at the last minute to book a table at Sugo on Surrey for the two of us for an impromptu date night. SO glad we decided to dine here! The ambience inside the restaurant is great, with several different rooms, each allowing for an intimate dining experience. Really love the exposed stone work on the walls! Our meal was delicious. We started with a strawberry fizz and a pint of Moretti for drinks. I really enjoyed my beet salad, while my husband had the caesar. My glass of Chianti was served at the perfect temperature and was a great accompaniment with my meal. For our mains, he enjoyed the Waygu bolognese and I absolutely adored the seafood linguine. If it was polite to do so, I would have licked the sauce right out of my bowl. We both had to ask for take away containers as we could not finish all of our noodles. Next time we will leave room for dessert! So glad we decided to finally try this gem of a restaurant...we will definitely be back to try out more of the menu items. Thank you!

We have been ordering take out from Sugo since the pandemic. Finally, we had the opportunity to go in and enjoy the restaurant. Before coming we called in to make a reservation as it was a Saturday night and we weren't sure how busy they were going to be. The lady informed us that there are two big parties coming at 6pm. We got there for 4:30pm and never felt rushed. They prepared a good table for us near the fireplace where my youngest daughter who uses a wheelchair was able to move around well and have plenty of space. The food came quick and it tasted even better than the take-outs. Service was excellent from start to finish. Portions were very filling. The charcuterie board was amazing, we had the small size but next time for sure going to try the larger size. One thing we really like about this place is that it has lots of parking in the back. They also had a wheelchair accessible spot right by the door which was so convenient for us. We look forward to returning soon.

Upon planning our elopement I went on Facebook to get some recommendations for a restaurant to deliver our wedding day meal to our b&b room. The consensus was Sugo on Surrey. My new husband and I were not disappointed! I contacted Alex several times via email regarding the menu and our options and he was incredibly helpful. He hand-delivered our meal to us as planned and on time and the food was incredible! My husband loves a good steak and is quite picky but easily gave his ribeye a 10/10 adding that it was cooked perfectly, and the flavour was amazing given it wasn't over-seasoned. I ordered the seafood linguine and it was perfecto! The citrus sauce was delectable and the seafood cooked to perfection. And the desserts... The tiramisu melted in our mouths and the brownie was delicious. Overall, we give an easy 10/10 for our meal and service, which is usually challenging to accomplish with a delivered meal. We can't wait to visit in person sooner than later.
