Sugo Pasta Kitchen is set to open a third site in 2021, owners have confirmed.
The new venue will launch in the burgeoning Stanley Square area of Sale in November – with capacity available for around 40-50 covers.
Specialising in Southern Italian recipes, Sugo has proven a hugely popular addition to Greater Manchester since first launching in Altrincham in 2015.
The brand’s success saw an expansion to Ancoats three years later – with another restaurant opening up just around the corner from Cutting Room Square.

Sugo’s team originally teased plans for a third site back in December, asking fans on social media: “Where next, 2021?”

A couple of months later, the restaurant posted a teaser image of the M33 postcode – dropping a huge hint that the restaurant would be moving to the Sale area.
This week (July 1) – Sugo Pasta Kitchen’s owners confirmed the new site is “100% opening”.
Co-owner Michael De Martiis told The Manc: “In both Altrincham & Ancoats we came in at the beginning of a new food and drink revolution and we’ve got that same buzz with Stanley Square and Sale.
“We’re going to put our heart and soul into creating a Pasta Kitchen in the heart of Sale that will be cherished for generations to come.”
Like all restaurants in Greater Manchester, Sugo has found itself forced to close for huge chunks of the past 16 months.

The pasta kitchen did however continue to serve customers throughout lockdowns via takeaway service, with chefs even sharing some of their secret recipes online so fans could attempt to whip up the dishes at home.

Since reopening in 2021, the restaurant has continued to keep things fresh with a variety of new dishes appearing on the menu – from Strozzapreti with Tuscan sausage and portobello to Strascinate with Umbrian lentils, roasted peppers & pecorino.

You can get FREE sandwiches in Manchester this weekend – but only if you have certain names
Emily Sergeant
Hungry Mancs can help themselves to free sandwiches this bank holiday weekend… but there’s a bit of a catch.
You can only get yourself a sandwich if you have one of these particular names.
We’ve been enjoying some absolutely stunning sunshine across Greater Manchester and much of the UK over the past couple of months, and nothing says sunny days more than taking a packed lunch or grabbing a meal deal and taking it to your local park or greenspace for a picnic.
This is why Pret A Manger has decided to make picnics easier for those who are lucky enough to have a certain type of name.
This late May bank holiday weekend, the popular high street coffee shop chain will be dishing out hundreds of free sandwiches across the UK – including here in Manchester – to anyone whose name happens to start with ‘Nic’.
That means people called Nick, Nicholas, Nicola, Nicole, Nico, Nicolette, and plenty of others could be in with a chance of some free feasting over these next couple of days.

Here in Manchester, it’s the chain’s Portland Street site, just off Piccadilly Gardens, that’s participating in the free giveaway this weekend, and there’ll be 50 sandwiches a day given out, so you’ll need to be quick if your name starts with ‘Nic’ and you’re feeling peckish.
The offer is only limited to Pret’s freshly-made sandwiches, and unfortunately excludes baguettes, wraps, or rye rolls… but free food is better than no food, after all.
All you’ll need to do to grab a freebie is show your ID at the tills of participating stores this Saturday (24 May) to prove your name, and you’ll get to walk out with your lunch in hand, all without having to spend a penny.
Manchester’s Portland Street Pret A Manger will be giving out 50 free sandwiches to ‘Nics’ this Saturday, and they’re on a first-come-first-served basis.
