Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant

We enjoyed a beautiful meal at Sugo. They cater for so many dietary requirements including coeliac. The food was superb and the service to match. The Ribeye steak is best we have ever had. Will definitely visit again.

Visiting from out of town , came here with my brother for a bite to eat. The service was spectacular and efficient , all the staff are so friendly and such a good vibe. The coffee and fries I got were superb. Got a gluten free brownie to take away which was so good I ate it all in one sitting. Talk about a great experience. 1000000% chance I will be back next time for more delish food. Thank you.

Popular place and we were nearly put off by all the tables being reserved in advance. But fortunately we went in and it was great. They have a few vegan and gluten free options including a salad, cauliflower bites, a vegan lasagne, and fries plus others that could be made vegan/gf. Worth a visit but be aware the coffee is expensive at $9 for a large decaf flat white.

Excellent food and service. It's expensive but the views and the food make it worthwhile to try. They don't have a separate vegan and gluten free dish but they were happy to get the chef to create something and they didn't disappoint. It really was a fantastic meal.

A busy school holiday night but we were happy to take a high table in the bar area. Staff were friendly and kept checking we were okay. Handled our gluten free request well. Food was (mostly) good quality and well prepared, drinks were nice and desserts were tasty. A pleasant night out.

One of the few restaurants in area that's right on the water 💧 sit outside or in during summer and quite a few tables with views. Situated at the Tauranga Bridge Marina, the views are the boats, the harbour and Sulphur point container wharf, so busy busy. We've dined here a number of times at different times of day and night and the service has always been excellent. Tapas menu as well as mains and desserts. Brunch menu as well. A good selection of gluten free dishes from all menus. Today, we shared a tapa beetroot with smoked duck and citrus infused feta. 10/10. Then the crunchy pork belly, peach, yummy sauce with vegetables. Brett had salmon on lemon infused risotto. Both beautifully cooked. Dessert menu looked delicious but we couldn't do it justice. We will be back 🍾

Wow! Absolutely fantastic food! I had the Panang coconut curry which was just perfect. My better half was likewise very happy with the fried chicken. The staff are very knowledgeable about dietary matters (I am coeliac) and the waiter double-checked with the chef before confirming my order. Unfortunately, there was a small glitch when my panacotta (which was very, very good) came with a wheat-based tuille on top, however the error was very efficiently corrected. The only small negative is that the coffee was pretty average, though to be fair, it's not a coffee shop. Will I go back? Most definitely!

Went here last night as we were in Wharf Street having a drink and noticed a new place. The food was so tasty. Got the lamb and will be back to try more. Really knowledgeable of gluten free options and took extra care to prepare it separately which took a little longer but totally fine with that. Highly recommend.

This is Tauranga’s best kept secret exclusive, & invite-only. This is an authentic chinese-cum-vietnamese experience that even caters to gluten intolerances. The chef’s attitude leaves something to be desired but his wife is delightful and the food more than makes up for it. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thanks Mike and Jo for a magical experience.

The food was really good, I was very excited to have my gluten free needs met but I was very disappointed to be charged $4.90 extra on top of $21.00 for one slice of bread. Especially when the prices where already high enough to cover my single slice of gluten free bread and more

Best place to eat in Tauranga, food is exceptional. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Ambience is great, not too loud like other restaurants can be. Great range for those with dietary requirements, like myself who is dairy free and gluten free. A+++ this was our third visit and we will keep coming back :)

It was my first time eating out since I was diagnosed Celiac.

Thank you for your Knowledge and care in helping me make choices and enjoy such a lovely meal. The value for money and quality of the food was excellent, we will be back.
