"Located in the Ballast Hotel, Sugo brings high-end Italian dining to downtown Wilmington. Chef Thomas Calhoun has done stints at Charleston’s Lenoir and Austin’s Aviary Wine + Kitchen. At Sugo, he’s populated the menu with Italian classics like rigatoni alla vodka, chicken Parmigiana, and cacio e pepe arancini. There’s a lobster taglioni in vodka sauce, a wide selection of steaks, and a sides menu that’s part American steakhouse, part trattoria." - Matt Lardie
