Sugo

My husband and I went to Sugo for the first time today and it definitely will not be our last time! Logan was our server and he was excellent! He gave us a run down of the menu since it was our first time and his suggestions were perfect, especially the bread pudding and peach burrata salad. So delicious! He even surprised us with some free berry sorbet at the end! It was really a lovely meal and we already know what we want for the next time we come! Thanks Logan for an awesome evening!

I’ve been visiting Sugo for well over a decade, drawn by its reputation as a Mediterranean cafe with Italian flair, first at the now-closed Roswell location and now at Johns Creek. Sadly, like a culinary “Groundhog Day”, I always come and then leave disappointed. Their $17.76 Fourth of July weekend special lured me back, and I was impressed by the contemporary yet cozy ambiance of the Johns Creek spot. The service by Kimmy was exceptional - hands-down the best I’ve had at Sugo and among the best in the area. Unfortunately, the food fell short again. We started with the bacon-wrapped dates appetizer, which I found uniquely flavorful, but my wife didn’t care for it. My lamb burger from the special menu was poorly executed with a slimy texture and off-putting taste. My wife’s black truffle pasta was underwhelming in both portion size and flavor. The fries were decent, but it’s telling when fries are a highlight at an upscale place. Even the Peroni beers disappointed, served in water glasses filled only three-quarters full. With so many dining options in Johns Creek, I think this might be my last visit.

Ate here for the first time and it was amazing. The ambience, food and staff is incredible! Will be back and it’s nice to see the owner so involved making sure his guest are enjoying themselves! I also loved that it really is family friendly, parties of all sizes and families of all kinds (kiddo friendly) were enjoying themselves as well.

I went with my daughter and they had a Tuesday special pasta. We had a delicious pasta for $14 and Katie, the server, was especially kind. She refilled the bread and kept checking what we needed. She also gave us a pretty dessert to make our evening special. She even opened the door for us when we left. I was so happy that Katie made our evening so special. I will never forget her smile and kind words.

The restaurant has plenty of parking, which is a big plus. It does fill up quickly, so reservations are highly recommended. The lighting is a bit dim even during the day, as blackout curtains are used to create a specific atmosphere. The decor and ambiance are lovely. It's not too loud or noisy inside, which makes dining feel more relaxed. However, the tables are placed quite close together, so conversations from neighboring tables can be easily overheard at normal speaking volume. Our server, Katie, was absolutely charming and radiated positive energy. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and was attentive throughout our meal. We had: - Classico Salad: The dressing was tasty and well-balanced, and the vegetables were fresh. I especially enjoyed the touch of crispy shallots. - Burrata and Prosciutto: The marinated tomatoes on the grilled bread were delicious, and the prosciutto was excellent. The burrata was good as well, though we’re just not big fans of burrata in general. - Shrimp Scampi: Since I’m not great with spicy food, they kindly substituted the noodles to make it non-spicy. It turned out to be a very satisfying dish. - Chocolate Mousse (Dessert): An excellent choice, not too sweet and flavorful. Katie also offered me a melon sorbet sample when I was looking for ice cream, but none of the available flavors quite suited my taste. It was a thoughtful of her to do so. All in all, it was a wonderful dining experience with excellent service. I would definitely return if I'm in the area. Highly recommended!

Four of us took the eggplant cooking class with Ricardo, and it was eggstraordinary! Not only did we learn how to make absolutely delicious eggplant dishes, but we also had such a fun and memorable night. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome - friendly, helpful, and clearly enjoying what they do. Ricardo was an outstanding instructor: organized, engaging, and genuinely fun to learn from. Everything ran smoothly, and he struck the perfect balance between teaching and making sure everyone had a good time. The drinks were great, the food was even better, and the overall experience was fantastic. We’re already talking about which class to take next and thanks to Ricardo, we’re feeling confident about recreating eggplant parmesan at home! Before and after pics below!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining here for Father’s Day, and everything from start to finish was exceptional! Our waiter Zack was amazing attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat! A special shoutout to Michael and Daniel, the runners, who truly made our experience unforgettable. They were not only professional and efficient, but they also brought such great energy to the table. They made us smile, laugh, and genuinely made us feel at home and so welcome. It’s rare to come across team members who leave such a warm impression! The food was absolutely delicious, and the attention to detail was impressive. The owners and management even checked in on us personally, which added such a thoughtful touch to our visit. We left beyond satisfied and can confidently say this place deserves 10 stars! We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again. Highly recommend the service, the food, and the people are all top notch! Once again ZACK,MICHAEL AND DANIEL THANK YOU!! You guys are awesome!!

We booked a private room for my dad’s birthday celebration. We selected a preset menu and did family style. The service was exceptional and our needs were met and exceeded. The food was amazing, we had the hanger steak, the creamy salmon and the aunt Lena’s chicken , each was very tasty. I loved the strawberry Gorgonzola salad and the Greek salad. Drinks were all fresh and nicely presented. We will def return to this restaurant. We had so much fun having our own room and my dad was very happy. Thank you guys! And thank you Megan for helping out everything together. Our server Andrea was amazing.
