Altrincham‘s acclaimed Italian restaurant Sugo Pasta Kitchen opened its second
restaurant, adding to the flourishing food scene in the developing neighbourhood of
Ancoats.

Rische Group proudly supported Sugo in the opening of their first restaurant in
Altrincham back in 2015 and were appointed to fit-out their second home in 2018
after 3 years of great success.

Initially just an empty shell, Sugo was transformed in just 8 weeks. Rische Group
worked with Sugo, to create a sophisticated new restaurant which reflects their ethos
and established brand identity whilst keeping in line with Altrincham’s vibe.
Over a period of eight weeks, Rische Group built all partition walls creating space for
the kitchen, a store room and washrooms.

The kitchen was an important aspect to the design, placing great responsibility on
the Rische team to get it right.

The theatrical, open kitchen embodies Sugo’s culture and adds to the hustle and
bustle of the busy restaurant, reflecting the nature of Italian heritage.

Although minimalistic in terms of design, various elements such as wood, concrete,
tiling and an exposed ceiling tie this restaurants fresh and honest interior together
beautifully. Furthermore, the exposed ceiling adds to the rawness of the interior.

Hera acoustic paneling was installed to help confine some aspects of the travelling
noise throughout the space.

Hand crafted, bespoke furniture is seen throughout Sugo which is made from pine
and treated to appear aged.

Sugo’s new home on Blossom Street, now fits perfectly within what used to be
known as Manchester’s ‘Little Italy’.
