Sugo, Italian restaurant in Bloordale, Old Toronto, Canada
Sugo is an Italian restaurant in Bloordale featuring checkered tablecloths, bar seating, and a foosball table throughout its dining space. The restaurant sits on Bloor Street West and welcomes guests in a casual environment with television screens for entertainment.
The location changed from operating as fast food establishments to becoming an Italian dining venue under owners Conor Joerin and Alex Wallen. This transformation brought fresh Mediterranean cooking to an existing neighborhood spot.
The restaurant displays boxing memorabilia including a portrait of Rocky Marciano and vintage Ring magazine covers featuring Toronto boxer Eddie Melo. These pieces give the space a personal identity rooted in local sports history.
The restaurant welcomes guests on select days of the week with varying opening and closing times depending on the day. It is helpful to plan ahead since hours change throughout the week and service times differ.
The kitchen makes fresh mozzarella from scratch each day and uses white veal in place of the more common red veal for its signature sandwiches. This hands-on approach to sourcing and preparation sets the place apart from standard Italian spots.
