Sugo Sunday is Buon Cibo’s slow-simmered Italian Sunday sauce meal, made with rigatoni, rich red tomato sugo, one tender meatball, Italian sausage, grated cheese, fresh basil, and warm garlic bread.
This is the kind of meal that makes Sunday feel like Sunday.
At Buon Cibo in Scripps Ranch, our Sugo Sunday is inspired by Tom Tarantino’s Sicilian family recipe, passed down from his Nanu and made the way Sunday sauce is supposed to be made: low and slow, with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and braised meat filling the kitchen with that unmistakable Italian comfort.
Every bowl starts with rigatoni tossed in rich, slow-cooked sugo, then gets topped with a tender meatball, savory Italian sausage, generous grated cheese, and fresh basil. On the side, you get warm garlic bread for every last bit of sauce you will not want to leave behind.
