Tommy Sugo

Tommy sugo, the place where pasta is cooked al dente! I ordered the gnocchi with the tommy sugo sauce and it was delicious! The Nutella filled balls are a nice treat to finish the meal also. I’ll be back to try the other sauces!

Fantastic that they have branched out beyond Nedlands. Best coffee within a 10 km (or more) radius!
The range is great — from pastas to arancini snacks and even specialty Italian biccies.
Love it.

I was really excited to eat at this place and i ordered chicken tortellini with carbonara sauce — the pasta was ok but the sauce was horrible. I could only have 2 mouth fulls. I didnt like it.

Perfectly cooked spaghetti, ok coffee, terrible sauces.
Tommy Sugo is a new pasta and coffee kiosk in Westfield Carousel. Today was its second day so we decided to try it for lunch.
Our order was:
— spaghetti carbonara
— gnocchi with pesto
— latte
— espresso
There was quite a wait since a lot of people were taking advantage of the free coffee offer. Once we got our order we sat down at the tables provided to eat.
My wife had the latte and said it was ok. My Indonesian single origin espresso was extracted ok but didn’t have much character. It’s probably some of the better coffee at Carousel. But when the baseline is so low you don’t have to aim high.
The spaghetti was cooked perfectly however the carbonara was not eggs and cream. Instead it was flour thickened white goo which is best used as ectoplasm in a ghostbusters film.
The gnocchi was too chewy and rubbery, not soft little pillows of happiness. The pesto while green had little flavour. Given how easy and inexpensive it is to make delicious pesto (basil + Parmesan + pine nuts + olive oil) it just breaks my heart when places opt out and use spinach.
The kiosk looks great but sadly doesn’t deliver on its promise of great pasta and coffee.
