Sugo Pasta Kitchen in Trafford

Food was good though took quite a while to arrive. But no flexibility on the menu items which is slightly odd for freshly cooked food. Difficult if you have food allergies. Staff not particularly interested once they had your order. Cashless restaurant. 10% service charge automatically added to the bill. No interest in returning to this restaurant.

All they seem interested in is getting u in and out as fast as possible limiting you table time to 90 minutes I told them twice I had not finished Paid 42 pounds for a bottle of wine very nice and the food was good but as a dining experience not a pleasure . Very rich food as very and you need to let it digest not hurried out the door .

We are big fans of Sud and were excited/bit nervous to try the new menu last night! Absolutely loved it! Really enjoyed being able to try all the starters which were delicious, followed by our favourite pasta dishes and still had room for desert! Lovely staff and great service as always. Highly recommended!

We have been going to Sud around once every couple of weeks for years and it has been an absolute favourite of ours they have an awesome FOH team too. Whilst the food is still excellent the new concept of small plates pasta dishes seems confused. Understandably they needed to raise there spend per head as it’s a business that is growing with a new site just opened up in Manchester. However personally I would have rather just paid more for the same hearty comforting food they were so well respected for. The dishes have decreased by 1/3rd in size which is slightly annoying as if it was 1/2 I would have just doubled up on everything to get the usual order. A real shame that a restaurant that is such an integral part of the neighbourhood has made this decision. Unfortunately until they return to a format similar to what they had pre small plates I don’t think we will be visiting any time soon.

I only drink petrol and drain cleaner but I loved SUD. 12 plates of perfection. A great establishment in Manchester, love it.

The food at sud is incredible! I can’t recommend this place enough. We ordered seven plates from their new menu, it was phenomenal in terms of what we’d eaten. There were standout dishes. The staff were lovely and helpful. 10/10 and I would definitely be back when I’m in Manchester.

Let's start with the positives ... the food is very tasty. But ... It feels like a cafe with hard wooden tables and benches. It is cramped and noisy. It is a very limited menu It uses cheap cuts (beef shin, pork cheek) It is expensive The house white wine is pretty awful

We came last minute without a booking and it was very busy but they kindly fit us in at a table outside which was lovely as it was a warm evening. The food was absolutely beautiful, an absolute hug in a bowl and even the olives were flavoured beautifully. Well worth the hype I've heard. I'm sorry but I didn't catch the name of the gentleman who we met first and advised us to come back in half an hour but he was lovely and friendly, and Lola and Beatrice were with us for the rest of the meal who were both so welcoming and kind. Lola in particular was our main host and helped us to choose a wine and complementary sides. Couldn't have asked for a nice meal and people for my best friend's birthday meal. Thank you!

I'm not usually a pasta fan...but, Sud Pasta changes that!! It's food for the soul, made by souls. Unequivocally the heartiest plates of food in Cheshire that will run a fierce riot of an explosion of taste buds. You will not find better pasta anywhere. Guaranteed. You will also never in the whole universe and galaxy and everything in-between find a better bruschetta either. Visit this place, eat the pasta and devour the bruschetta. Your world will be the better for it as is ours for having Sud Pasta.

We visited here on a Saturday afternoon, it was a busy but not overly, we had prebooked the table and on arrival shown our table and all was good, however we was about to receive our main meal when another couple joined our table and the staff said 'Oh its a sharing table' and apparently this happens at other venues so beware if you are looking for a quiet meal out as other people will be joining you! There was other tables available too!! We even saw another couple looked as shocked as us when they had to join a table of 4. Noone had mentioned this, it wasnt on the website (that i saw) or on our booking. It should have been advised straight away!! Highly disappointed!! Food was amazing but due to this we wouldnt return!! Seemed like a bit of a cash thing, ie: Get as many bookings in as you can!! Oh and they add on the tip, when asked to remove they question why!!! Really???

Really disappointed with the service. We booked table online and submitted card details. It all went through. However we didn't get an email confirmation. When we called the restaurant to chase, they said they didn't have the booking and the website can fail! They made no attempt to accommodate the booking!

Hmm the food excellent, we both had house sugo pasta very tasty. Slightly disappointed it was served on a chipped plate! The garlic sour dough was beautiful. The thing I would mark them down on I was disappointed at sharing a table with another couple! I didn’t enjoy that and, as a result didn’t stop after having mains as felt uncomfortable having others eating right next to me. It was a real shame as for this reason I wouldn’t rush back. Don’t like service charge added, but that is just me as think you pay for that and to be honest I always tip if I am happy with service. Staff a bit uninterested in you but that could be because it was a busy service. Also they don’t take cash!!

Having finally got rid of the small people for a friday night, we managed to get an early table at a place we had been meaning to try ever since they opened up! being Altrincham residents for many many years, having our ears bashed about how great this place was (and having done many a Hardens Guide review, having read about its success), we bit the bullet. managing to get the Bench seats near the window, we had great chatty staff who were genuinely interested in talking to us, super smells coming from the kitchen and a really good "busy" vibe. Managing to people watch all the Alty Market crowd across the way hoovering their Aperol Spritz, we ordered lamb meatballs and the fava bean and greens bruschetta to start. Both were brilliant, looking back we could have ordered them again just for the pea broth that came with meatballs and the way all the flavours of the bruschetta just oozed into the sourdough... by this time i had had a refreshing beer and my wife was happy with her non alco beer, but there was no way I was passing up having a jug of red wine with my house sugo pasta. we both ordered this and on reflection dare i say we could have shared one! The plates of perfectly cooked pasta, the slow cooked 8 hr ragu of beef shin and pork shoulder (the best way to cook these meats) with an extra side of sourdough with garlic and rosemary butter (Don’t you dare just call it garlic bread, the difference is night and day), was that unctuous and satisfying we didn't talk to each other for about 15minutes... it was that good. By comparison, yesterday I went to a fine dining place in manchester and spent three times the amount and enjoyed myself half as much... you do the maths. Forza Sud!

I’d wanted to visit the restaurant for a while so decided to book online 2 days prior. There was hardly any availability so make sure you do book in advance. The website said only the outside covered and heated area was available. I was really sceptical of the only available part of the venue but decided to give it a go. It was well-heated, well-lit and comfortable so if visiting again I would happily sit there if the inside wasn’t available. The waitresses were all really helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The service was fairly quick but didn’t make us feel like we were rushing our food which we appreciated. In terms of cost we paid £78 for: 2 starters 2 mains An extra piece of bread (steep at £1.50!!) Olives (again, steep at £4!!) Garlic bread A medium bottle of sparkling water 1 beer 1 medium glass of wine We thought this was quite reasonable in general considering as the portion sizes, particularly the mains, were generous. We would recommend the burrata, garlic bread and pasta. It was tasty, of excellent quality and the ingredients were carefully considered. The only reason for which I haven’t given 5/5 is that I wouldn’t rush back. I would only go back if the menu changed as due to the nature of the restaurant, the menu is very limited but this is how the place operates. Also, we spent a lot of time in Italy last year mainly Bologna and Sicily and despite not being from the same region as the dishes from the pasta kitchen, the food we had abroad was so much better in terms of taste.

I have always heard great reviews about Sugo and was looking forward to out visit. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.I had looked at the menu online at home and checked again on the board in the restaurant.I decided on the paccheri with lentil, mushrooms and walnut ragu.From the first mouthful I realised the food was quite spicey.I persevered but could only eat half of the meal! I explained the problem to the waitress and she said that all the pasta meals contain chilli! Apparently it is written in small print on the individual menus but not online or on the board!! I wasn't offered any reduction and left quite disappointed.

Went here with my sister and whilst the food was lovely, the waitress was so unfriendly. She made us feel like an inconvenience. If was just the food a 5 star! but her attitude really ruined the whole experience. Doesn't kill a person to smile...

Myself and my niece went into this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy. We were asked had we booked to which we replied no, we were then shown to a table in the window with high bar stools, my niece is...

Never fails to disappoint, food is always spot on, great value and friendly staff. I day dream about House Sufi quite often.

Italian food is something that is quite generic nowadays, but the Sugo Pasta Kitchen is special. It is a small restaurant, service quick. the menu has a few choices but they dont want to change or alter the order. Perhaps this is because each dish...

I have almost given up writing reviews for restaurants but for the original Sugo Pasta Kitchen in Altrincham I must make an exception. We had a really wonderful family meal here. The food is different and so much better than the usual Italian restaurants, Yes...

Very good pasta although a limited menu. The restaurant is extremely small so would not say this is family friendly and they did not have baby changing facilities so had to go back to my car to change my son, therefore unfortunately will not be...

Small place with friendly service. Very different to a standard pasta menu. The vegan pepper pasta had so much flavour! And garlic bread was also incredibly tasty.

My Sardinian partner had been looking for somewhere to eat with proper Italian food (Not the usual chain rubbish) This absolutely fit the bill and honestly got me into Italian food, having previously found it a little so so. The House Sugo is ludicrously good...

So the food was great, yes it is expensive but that’s a choice thing, excellent bruschetta starter, pasta main was great. The non alcoholic drinks were heavily overpriced for the size you get. The bill, it is very arrogant about how the 10% added on...

We have wanted to go for so long but it was worth the wait! The starters were great as was the nemesis cake but the main course house sugo was incredible, I would have preferred it a touch less spicy for my taste but I...

We’ve been to Sugo a few times and it hasn’t failed to deliver. The pasta is unbelievable (the chicken stock, anchovy and broccoli one was a particular highlight), the service is friendly and there is wine for all budgets/occasions (house jugs or expensive bottles). The...

We're not old but the wooden benches are hard on the bum cheeks. Fortunately the food is fantastic although not cheap. Great wines available. Lovely friendly staff

Not a huge me u but wjat they do, they dp so terribly well. The fresh pasta is wonderful. Burrata starter with sough dough was wonderful. The seafood pasta was so excellent- quality fresh seafood. Relaxed atmosphere . Efficient and friendly staff.

Has to be some of the most fabulous tasty pasta I’ve ever eaten just delicious nothing pretentious just good food served simply can’t wait to go again

Cant go wrong with the food here just wow.. outstanding! We will be returning! Thanks to the amazing staff for looking after us.

Four of us ate at Sugo on Sunday lunchtime. Service was impeccable. At first glance the menu appeared limited but on reflection it was perfect. House Sugo was fantastic - rich, tasty and hit all the spots. All of us ate well, enjoyed our meal...

Although or maybe because the menu is reasonably limited the food is amazing. They do provide an online confirmation of what is vegan, but its slightly more difficult to know what is vegetarian - and at different times I have had different information. Regardless there...

Honestly one of the best Italians I've ever had, outstanding taste, couldn't recommend this place highly enough

Visited this place for the first time today. We were greeted politely and promptly. The food here is packed with authentic flavours, seasone perfectly and we were served by cheerful staff members. If you are looking for Italian food that has had live out into...

Lamb meatballs to die for. Thought I'd try the clam pasta which was 7/10 as a bit bland, luckily managed to steal some of the Sugo from my GF. This was as amazing as the first time I tasted it and well worth going back...

I'm not sure why this restaurant ranks as highly as it does, tonight was the 3rd time I've been and I'm still of the same opinion, this is the most overrated restaurant in Altrincham. Poor service, cramped atmosphere and underwhelming food is about it, nothing...

A reasonably limited menu but what they do, they do so well. We are vegetarian so options are pretty limited but always delicious. I don't love sharing tables but the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. Service prompt and attentive. A lovely treat

Been wanting to visit for a while as heard good things. Can’t fault the pasta at all- we both really enjoyed our dishes and probably the best I’ve had in the UK! Only downsides were firstly the seating arrangements - tables are mostly sharing. This...

A friend had been going on about how good Sugo was for years before we finally visited. With how much he'd talked it up I didn't think it could be as good as he'd made out, but I was wrong. It's a tiny place, we...

I joined some friends on a cold March Tuesday night to Sugo and when we arrived we were seated outside the front in a billowing, plastic gazebo type affair with a single heater that was placed roughly 12 foot above the front door and was...

Delicious what a lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon dare I say better pasta than in Italy or you can close your eyes dream of being there.Simply outstanding

Table booked for two of us on Sunday @ 1400. We arrived just before and were sat down immediately. We enjoyed wonderful food and service as usual across 3 courses. However as the last spoonful of Tiramisu disappeared the bill arrived and we were asked...

Gorgeous food & service. Flavours are exceptional, very heartwarming dishes. Thanks go especially to Lola for going the extra mile and brightening up my day. She is an asset to the team!

Excellent food and atmosphere as usual. Such a cosy place. Wine was good too. Never had a bad word to give on Sugo. Thank you

Visited on a Sunday, early evening. Great food - mussels starter followed by Amatricana “ di mare “ - absolutely delicious. Great food, exceptional service from the 3 ladies front of house and the house wine was spot on. Ten out of ten

We booked an outside table due to Covid. The food was excellent but when we asked for the wall mounted heaters to be turned on (it was freezing outside even well wrapped up) we were told the National Grid had told the restaurant it wasn't...

Fabulous food and the coffee was great. Lunch al fresco in October, what a pleasure. The pasta with Tuscan sausage and mushrooms was great, as was the Fennel Slaw…Service friendly and efficient

The food is delicious a small menu vey well cooked. The service is mediocre and we were kicked out after 1 hr 30mins which is not enough we hadn't finished our mains before the waiter was telling us it was nearly time to leave. I...

Delicious food and wonderful staff during our visit. Unfortunately had to deduct a star as there were some dishes unavailable and for a small menu that does make it more restricting. The burrata starter (that I wanted to order) wasn’t available and neither was 2...

Great food, atmosphere and service. I have been before and it remains a favourite! Staff are so friendly (lovely Lithuanian lady).

I have a bit of an issue with a lot of Italian restaurants, my own snobbery really, but this is something else. Amazing pasta dishes, huge portions, super tasty. Good flavoursome starters and good, friendly, unfussy service.

Best pasta ever!! Soo tasty, good vibes great food good service would highly recommend to all pasta lovers

I have eaten at Sugo many times & was probably one of the first customers to visit when the restaurant opened. I used to really look forward to a warm welcome from Tony or Alex who would treat us like friends, chatting about Puglia or...

The website lists a few gluten free dishes, but they only actually serve one. Told that the only dish that can be gluten free is the Sugo Scoglio without the pasta. So disappointing - having paid a deposit for a table, driven all the way...

I held off writing a review after my first trip to Sugo as I wanted to go again in case my experience was a one off. The first time I visited the service was slow and my pasta dish was quite salty- not the end...

Bloody fantastic food. Small menu but perfectly executed. Highly recommend the bruschetta and house Sugo. Generous portions. Nice to experience specific regional Italian cuisine. Bravo!

My husband really enjoyed the meatball starter and the house special for the main. My main was poor, just tomato and basil flavour pasta and quite salty. Service was ok but didn’t warrant the service charge we were compelled to pay.

Visited for the first time last night, it's been our list for ages but thanks to the pandemic we'd not been able to go previously. It 100% lived up to our expectations. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant was cozy, but the food really...

The food is amazing anyway but when you get the best service it makes it even more special. Habben looked after us today and he was absolutely fabulous! He is a credit to to you ❤️

There is nothing I could fault about this place and I can’t recommend it enough, my boyfriend and I came today and it won’t be the last time. The atmosphere was perfect, not too busy or loud and the restaurant’s decor itself felt so cosy...

Absolutely perfect. When somewhere has a small, seasonal menu you expect everything to be done top notch, and that’s exactly what you get here, we could not fault a single thing. The service was relaxed so you felt at home, yet professional a knowledgable -...

First time back in two years and it's just as amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful without being overbearing and know about the food they serve. Thankfully they've stuck to their philosophy of concentrating on a few dishes using first rate ingredients which...

There was a bit if a wait for food, but it was Sunday lunchtime and good things come to those who wait, right? There were good choices form a small menu and the flavour did not disappoint. We shared an arancini, I had the House...

You can’t go wrong with Sugo, it’s always consistent and service is fab. The ingredients used is fresh and authentic, the only con is the limited menu which doesn’t give too much of a choice.

Myself and my girlfriend had a takeaway tonight. The food took over two hours to come and was very underwhelming. It was far too seasoned, very salty and not satisfying. The aftertaste was like drinking seawater. Presentation was lovely though.

Visited the Altrincham restaurant with my husband last week. We’ve been trying to get a reservation for ages but it Was well worth the wait. The food was outstanding. The staff were so welcoming. We’ll definitely be back. I had the chittara pasta and have...

So pleased to see Sugo open again We had a lovely celebratory meal and had glorious weather tibsit outside and enjoy it. Starter was mozzarella cheese and a gorgeous light sauce. My partner had meatballs which were lovely. We both had the gorgeous House Sugo...

Had my first sugo in sugo since lockdown excellent food and service love the place the food is outstanding and reasonable

We LOVE Sugo so were very excited when they announced they would be on Deliveroo. The food was just as amazing as it is in the restaurant which is very impressive! Thanks guys!

Ordered some takeaway from Sugo mainly because my wife loves the Arancino starter. While it was good, the pasta was sensational. Even as takeout it tasted fresh - just as in the restaurant. The portions are generous too! During lockdown we have easily decided it...

Not impressed at all. Just ordered a deliveroo from here, was really looking forward to it. How disappointed I am! £6.50 for ONE Arancini Ball. Portion absolutely tiny, nothing like the restaurant. My partners was tasteless, no basil leaves! Can’t believe that cost £30. I’m...

Quaint little place that serves some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. Everything taste so fresh and portions are generous. We’ve been regularly ordering from them since the lockdown and the quality of the food is as good as when we have dine in....

Missing this restaurant during the closure - can't wait till it reopens. Easily the best pasta you will find anywhere in the northwest. Fantastic.

My 4th visit to this amazing Restaurante, the wings and prawn pasta are unbelievable. The service is fabulous as well, it’s one of my favourite restaurants and I’m very fussy

Small place with limited menu but all the food we had was exquisite. It’s always crowded though so need to book

A great place for lunch. The food was so tasty! I had the bruschetta to start with and then a vegetarian pasta. The pasta was homemade and was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. We hadn’t booked and were very lucky to get a table so I’d recommend booking.

Easily the best pasta around. Small menu but they do each dish absolutely perfectly so not an issue 👍 starters are amazing too

Had the seafood pasta which was amazing and cooked to perfection. Been here a couple of times now so just wish there was more on the menu to choose from as me and my wife always like to try different dishes. Friendly staff :)

Great food Lovely atmosphere Good staff All around very enjoyable experience. Will visit again and highly recommend

The pasta and sauces are excellent. Service could have been much better - dishes all came at different times and plates were cleared while others were eating, which anyone with any experience in service knows is poor.The restaurant is described as having GF options. The GF menu differs online to in the restaurant (chicken wings aren't GF), meaning the options are down to 5 dishes. Considering 3 of these dishes say "ask for without sourdough/pasta/pangrattato" (which is lazy and isn't catering for an allergy with an alternative), there are actually 2 dishes to have, none of which are mains.Is it really so hard to go to the market and get a GF loaf or two for the day to enable bruschetta and other dishes, along with a GF pasta stock to make this a restaurant that everyone can eat at and enjoy? I myself am not GF but wouldn't consider this for a group or family booking again as a result.

My friend and I have been here tonight for the first time. It’s a lovely intimate restaurant with great staff and amazing food. I believe they bring a new menu ever 6 weeks or so and tonight I had a pasta dish with anchovy butter which I have to say was one of the best authentic pasta dishes I have had, no heavy cream sauce, amazing fresh ingredients, fantastic flavours. This is a little gem of a place and I can’t recommend it enough. I would say to book if you are going because I can see it’s very popular. You won’t be disappointed!

Eaten here a few times but after my recent visit, I felt compelled to write a review. Consistency is key and these guys smash it every time. Started with the arancini which is a ball of joy. My friend and I then shared a House Sugo and a Strozzapreti - both dishes were oozing with flavour and the pasta cooked perfectly. Keep doing what you’re doing guys...because I absolutely love it!

We had looked at booking here on several occasions but it was always busy.

I love this place , I am from Puglia where the plates and caraffe a they using are topical from there but more important the food it’s so good and lovely service .

Why is this restoran called Sugo? Food sems authenically italian, cosy admosphere. Altrincham does not figure at the head of my preferenceds- intermittently i have alsways eaten porrly there. Now there seems to be revival, spurred by convenrted markethall.

A great pasta restaurant, the seafood is amassing as are the meat balls and pulled beef house does Ian. Wash down with red or white wine. Service is excellent.

Been meaning to come here for a while and finally got organised to book a table for me and my husband. Ordered arancino and bruschetta as starters, both excellent, and the Christmas tree design of the bruschetta was a treat. Had Sugo special (ragu) and pasta with sprouts and pancetta. Both tasty, but found the sprout dish a bit too salty.

I'm a massive lover of Italian food and a supporter of independents but wasn't overly impressed with the menu at Sugo.

Been here quite a few times over the past three or four years and felt compelled to leave a good review after a recent visit.

This place is a little gem! Lovely atmosphere & great customer service. All the team were very attentive and looked after us.

Came for lunch while shopping in Altrincham. Pasta was excellent and service was friendly and efficient ! Would definitely recommend !

Had dinner here today at the chef’s table. Food was faultless and service almost there. Had the beef & pork meatball starter which were excellent, just the right amount of heat in the sauce. Prawn squid & muscle main, again with great pasta & sauce.

We always like to go out try the new menus when they come out and we were not disappointed. My husband had the Strascinate and I couldn’t bring myself to order anything other than the House Sugo (absolutely love it).

Chose Sugo for my birthday meal as somewhere a bit new and different; we live in Warrington and never go to Altrincham. He had house sugo and I had the one with pancetta and sprouts. Both fabulous, really tasty and we cleared our plates :-) definitely recommend

Myself and my girlfriend absolutely love this place, we travel from Macclesfield regularly just so we can eat here. The service is always spot on, and the food is always spot on, same can be said with the atmosphere, and I absolutely love their beer!

My partner and I both work locally in the industry and have been meaning to pop into Sugo since it opened, I can’t believe it has taken us until now to visit, but it was certainly worth the wait.

excellent food, really great pasta, good atmosphere. big double header birthday family meal somewhat spoiled by the attitude of the manageress. ' you're lucky to even be in here' type of persona. Wrong. Hugely wrong.

First rate service and first rate pasta. Small friendly place near to the Market Hall in central Altrincham. Visited here with wife and son and we all thoroughtly enjoyed our food. It's not cheap but I would still say value for money considering the quality. Will visit again when in the area.

I’ve been to Sugo a few times and it’s never disappointed me! I love the food and the atmosphere. Always look forward to going.

Food and wine tasty but very expensive. The menu is in my opinion set up to confuse as there were no £ signs just things like 6.5 Service was pleasant but
