Trattoria & pizzeria · Chicago
Sugo! is a loud room with a wood-fired oven, pasta rolled at dawn and no plans of quieting down. Come for the pizza. Stay for whoever's birthday it turns out to be.
The room
Long tables, short waits between courses, and an oven that roars louder than your uncle. We seat strangers next to strangers and by dessert they're splitting the last cannolo — that's not an accident, that's the floor plan.
Nobody here whispers the specials. Nobody brings the check until you ask twice. Lunch is a right, dinner is a party, and the vermouth cart knows the way to your table.
The good stuff
Four hundred fifty degrees, ninety seconds, zero patience. The oven was here before the furniture and it will outlive us all.
Rolled every morning by people who take carbs personally. When it's gone, it's gone — come early or befriend a regular.
The house pour, on ice, with an olive and an opinion. Order one and watch the bartender stand up straighter.
We time the pizza. We never time the lunch.
