I’m ashamed to admit it but I don’t know my neighbourhood at all. I’ve lived in my shoebox for over three years and I can probably count on one hand the number of local restaurants (and by local I mean within a 500 metre radius) I’ve actually been to. This of course does not include the conveniently located KFC Restaurant. 🙂 Tonight Bertha treated us (that is, Mirela, her family and I) to dinner at a local Italian Pizza and Pasta placed called Sugo. I didn’t think I could fit anything in to my stomach after the feast that was Ping Pong this afternoon but dim sum is tricky – at the time you eat you feel really full and you feel like you’ve stuffed yourself but not too much later on you actually realise you’re hungry! At any rate it wasn’t until about 9.30pm that we sat down to eat.

I can honestly hold my hand up and say that I’ve never noticed Sugo before despite how many times I’ve done my grocery shopping at Tesco and M&S on the opposite side of the road. The restaurant has quite a homely atmosphere with the walls covered in lots of paintings of Italian landscapes and peoples. The menu seemed quite authentic and naturally offers a range of pizzas, pastas and risottos as well as other main meal type dishes. It was unfortunate we were too full to enjoy something from the dessert menu which also looked quite delicious. As dishes are purportedly cooked from scratch you are also welcome to make requests which the kitchen, within reason, seemed happy to accept.
