BENVENUTI
Born from a love of New York roots and the rich flavors of Italian cuisine, Sugo Italian Steakhouse offers an unparalleled dining experience in Wilmington, NC. Inspired by our cherished tradition of monthly family dinners with close friends, we’re proud to share the dishes that have warmed our hearts and souls for years. Our favorite gatherings always featured classics like Chicken Parmigiana, Vodka Rigatoni, and Mushroom Risotto. But the true star of the meal was always the perfect Sugo—the sauce.
