Restaurant Review – Sugo (Malvern VIC) – 3 Stars

There’s not much wrong with Sugo. The décor’s nice, with wooden tables, a clean kitchen opening onto the dining area, and chalkboards showing the wine list. The food’s the same, too. Great saganaki, tender marinated calamari (that could have used a few more spices in the marinade), fresh pasta with soft, shredded duck and mushrooms, and spring flavoured risotto with chicken, bacon and leek. Unfortunately, there’s not much that really stands out over a lot of other restaurants. I’m not disappointed that I tried it, but next time I’m looking for this kind of dinner, I won’t drive as far.
