We booked our flight and hotel for our Toronto vacation on the first week of September. Why? Because our dear friend and maid-of-honour for our wedding is taking a break and visiting relatives in Toronto. We made a last-minute decision to take a vacation and meet with her.
She sent us a list of restaurants she wanted to try, and we picked Sugo. So after spending hours in Royal Ontario Museum, we met with her, and we took Line 2 to Lansdowne Station to Sugo.

We ordered a lot of food, and I was excited to eat since I was starving.
First to arrive at our table are the gigantic meatballs. They're bigger than what you usually get from other restaurants. Since I was hungry, I took a piece of the meatball and was surprised at how good it was. The inside was juicy and flavourful. So we're off to a great start!

Next, our mozzarella sticks arrived, and it was alright on its own, but paired with the tomato dip, it became elevated.

Afterwards, the Chicken Parm arrived. Even close to the edge, I thought the chicken was a bit dry, and even the delicious tomato sauce couldn't save it.

Then, the Gnocchi came, and it was delicious! Highly recommended, especially with ricotta. It was amazing. I can't wait to try the Spaghetti.
I took a bite of the Spaghetti covered in the house-made sauce and understood why my friend wanted to come here. It was excellent, and it deserved all the love from Torontonians.

Unfortunately, after a couple bites of the Spaghetti, I felt sick to my stomach and had no desire to eat. My husband is so worried because his foodie wife doesn't have an appetite for delicious food. I wanted to vomit, so I stopped eating and was just nibbling on the delicious food. I want to cry. I felt sick but wanted to eat.
My friend and husband were so understanding that we had most food to go and brought it back to our hotel room so I could rest.
I started feeling a bit better after I burped. Maybe it's acid reflux. I'm not sure. We exchanged gifts and watched YouTube videos in the hotel room, and I started feeling hungry. So we reheated the garlic bread and some of the Gnocchi. Thankfully, my stomach didn't reject it. Whew!
