    Sugo is my favorite Italian spot in Santa Cruz. Reasonable prices. Great quality. Great service. Spots like this make locals happy and give visitors more of a variety. We are consistently satisfied with our experience here.

    Still a bit chilly on the patio, sitting at the edge, with the wind and rain, but the food was excellent, as always, and the staff were professional, answered our questions, and were very friendly and warm! Exceptional staff!! Thank you. Will be back!!

    First time dining here. Busy busy but not hectic. Lots of teamwork managing the flow. The local halibut special was well prepared and the serving huge! Spousal unit had the multiple cheese gnocchi that were nice pillows of goodness. We will be back!

    We’ve eaten here four times now and the food has been consistently excellent. The gluten free pasta selections are especially appreciated, as is the gluten free chocolate cake! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We highly recommend Sugo Pasta Bar.
