il Sugo Italian Kitchen

Great food at a decent price. I got the Chicken Parm and it was great. As was the pesto pasta it comes with and my fresh bruschetta appetizer. Service was on point, environment is relaxed and cozy.

You know when you find that one place that hits you in a really good kinda way? Well, for me, that is il Sugo (which means "the sauce"). From the food to the phenomenal service, this should be your go-to place for quality Italian cuisine. They have a very unique way of adding a personal touch to great Italian classics.

Everything tasted fresh. The mozzarella with the bruschetta is mmmm, fresh. The sauce in the chicken parm is mmmm fresh, with the perfect amount of basil. The braised beef with the ravioli is mmmm, fresh.

Look here, folks, this ain't no quick served kind of place. Like I said, everything is fresh. Perfection takes time, and you will NOT be disappointed. This is a great little, cozy Italian restaurant.

Don't get me started about the desserts. Damn!!! The tiramisu and chocolate cake were divine.
When the food arrived, it looked so good, I dove in!!! I forgot to take a pic to include with this review. However, I did get pics of the desserts and WOW!!! Just look at them. If the desserts look that delicious, just imagine that the food looks and tastes just as delicious.

Our waitress was way more than a server, so I won't belittle Krysta by calling her such. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR, and she welcomes you to il Sugo like an old friend. She is warm, attentive, and personable. Krysta, thank you for a wonderful experience. I hope to visit again real soon.

2nd visit: our visit today was great -- we were helped by Stephanie who was wonderful (thus the 5 stars for service). We all liked our pasta (il sugo pasta, beef ravioli, spicy shrimp pasta). The bruschetta was ok but could be better --- since the topping was loaded, the bread became soggy and also was hoping there was a piece of mozzarella 😀

1st visit: The food was good but i just don't like it when servers keep on trying to take the food away every time she passes the table and then we had to always say "still working on it"...but i plan to come back to try other items on the menu

Hidden gem that should definitely get more business. Went here on Christmas Eve with my family and we were treated extremely well. Our server was super attentive and very throughout in answering all our questions about the dishes. As for the food itself I got a spicy penne dish that had a simple yet delightful flavor. I had actually eaten a meal before coming in but I fell in love with this dish so much that my stomach found the room and I finished my whole bowl. If you’re looking for something new around Meridian give this place a shot!

Edit:
Recently went back to celebrate my birthday and I received an equally great experience to my last visit. The Chicken Carbonara that I ordered is single handily the best pasta dish I've ever had. It's rich but not overbearing, perfectly seasoned, and the prosciutto on top made it even better. Antonio was once again our server and he knocked it out of the park, if you are planning on visiting ask specifically for him. For my birthday before we left he brought out a packaged slice of cake with a spoon ready to go. He's made both visits to this place with my family all the more enjoyable.
