Sugo

Sugo in Tauranga is a lively Italian joint that lives and breathes whānau and flavour. With a passion for fresh, quality ingredients, many of them locally sourced, Sugo serves up a modern twist on Italian-inspired fare in a laid-back setting and promises an experience that lingers long after the last bite.

The menu reads like a nonna’s prized cookbook, with every dish from the smallest starter to the sweetest finale shining in its own right. Mains range from Neapolitan-style pizzas to traditional handmade pastas and a hearty line-up of meat-focused plates.

Sink your teeth into mouthwatering highlights like the 200g handpicked eye fillet or the melt-in-your-mouth 12-hour braised lamb shoulder. Then finish strong with a dessert that hits the spot, whether it’s a rich, creamy tiramisu or the citrusy kick of a lime leaf coconut mousse.

Perfect for lively catch-ups or romantic nights out, Sugo dishes up the soul of Italy with all the charm and character of a Mediterranean favourite.
