Soooo good. It's GOOD fast food. We ordered and it was the perfect take out... so we didn't have to cook at the airbnb. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and they give free samples... so no need to worry that you may not like it. I highly recommend it. read more

Quick serve pasta to go. We tried di mari (seafood) and bolognese (beef). Ate them under a tree and San Polo (very wide and open) square, as suggested by the store. Could not go wrong with a quick pasta to eat on the go. read more

Most tourists would only find this corner biz randomly like us strolling around the neighborhoods. Walk up counter, fresh egg pasta made in-house daily. Hmm, peering through the window, we wonder how good can it be? The smiley gal motioned us in and offered us sample saying we will buy after tasting. The texture & chew was amazing! Also the price is noticeably cheaper, due to no seating to-go only. Like she predicted, a couple cups topped with savory sauces and we gobbled it all up immediately outside. An enjoyable moment in the middle of Venice ;) read more

Would seriously not recommend. Service was quick and nice- but the pasta was not great at all. I would not consider myself picky- I've never left a yelp review before, and can stomach most meals-but this meal made me realize I needed to tell other people not to come. The noodles were overly thick and had the texture of extruded tire rubber. I got the Pesto sauce, and it was unbearably salty and oily. Not to be dramatic- but I can say honestly it might have been the worst pasta I've ever had. read more

Wanted to try this place after finding it on Yelp! It was very affordable, at 7-9€ per dish, and all very tasty. It seems like the equivalent of Italian fast food, so it wasn't the most amazing pasta I've ever had, but it was really quick and very tasty for the price. I'd recommend! read more

This place was so good for a fast food pasta shop! We were surprised but so happy we found this restaurant. The pasta is so good and the service is awesome. It's a cute environment and you can see them making the pasta right there, it's great! read more

Food was quick and good. Tried the pesto, amatriciana and duck ragu. All yummy. Great budget meal ending a long day of misc. street food offerings. read more

I stumbled upon this place after trying Dal Moro's, which is another fast food, to go fresh pasta spot. Although both are delicious, I can say I enjoyed Bigoi more because of their flavors. We had the duck ragu and the seafood pastas, and both were so good!! When I was there, it was called Bepe Bigoi, so I assume either the name changed to it, or it's part of the same family chain. But regardless, it was good! I highly recommend if you're looking for something quick, but delicious. read more

Pescatora seafood with freshly made pasta! Something so simple, is truly cherished in the tastebuds and heart! The taste of whole ingredients, made with freshness and quality, and sea flavor is all there! It put a smile on my face when walking through Venezia narrow streets or twists and turns! One gets lost easily and one can get lost well without minding too much while enjoying this easy pop by pasta spot! Yummy and cherry on! read more

Quick service, friendly staff. They cook noodles in front of you and add sauce. I got pomodoro sauce, and stirred it in myself. It was good. 50 meters from shop is a nice square with benches and litter bins read more

Never trust any recommendation from vlogs that start out "We're in Venice for a day". Put it another way, if you have only one day in Venice; don't bother. Venice rewards those for whom time doesn't matter and delivers a rude slap in the face to those who rush. I should have known better. What the?!? 4.5 Stars? I call BS! They serve one thing, takeaway Bigoli. A thick, toothsome well seasoned semolina based egg pasta with many surface imperfections for the sauce to cling to. When done right, it's rustic and oh so good. Unfortunately, the pasta is made fresh daily, par cooked and air dried. When ordered, it is reheated in simmering water, put in a deep eco friendly takeaway container and topped by your choice of "sauces". Twice cooked equals a gummy, gooey, mess. Pasta sticking together. Mix the sauce in, everything breaks up into short 2cm segments that's better eaten with a spoon. Horrible stodgy mouth feel. Very heavy. One dimensional. Even sips of wine doesn't have enough acidity to cut through. Bolognese, amatriciana and caccio e pepe ordered. No complaints on the sauces but no container finished. Fast and cheap (5 minutes / 5,50€). Just right for the despised day tripping tourist. Epic fail. read more

Fast spaghetti | Stand up eating | Fresh pasta to go | Quick bite This little place offers 9 sauces on their fresh pasta made al dente. For €5-€6.50 you get a cup noodle sized bowl good for a quick bite. They have menu written in English. They have sauces from simple tomato to duck ragu to cuttlefish (black ink). read more

While walking around Venice there were several spots that sold this fast/to-go style pasta. This placed was very clean and looked very inviting. You order your choice of pasta and they cook in minutes. It's definitely becoming a trend. You see all the different sauces in front of you which is really cool. The pasta was a bit more al dente than I'm use too and both the pasta and the sauce was a bit too salty. I got the bolognese and it was very delicious. It looks small but there was a lot of sauce and plenty of meat in the sauce. Best part about it is that it was only 6 euros! read more

We need one of these in the states. A decent sized cup of delicious pasta for 6€ that's ready in 5 minutes? Sign me up. I asked which ones were the most popular and she said the beef bolognaise and the duck ragu. I ended up getting the duck and it was so tasty! I was starving after doing so much walking and this definitely hit the spot! The place itself was empty when we walked in, but by the time we finished eating (10-15 mins later) you could barely move in there. The restaurant is small and there are no seats, only wooden counters/bars that line the walls. Having the pasta piled in a cup makes it really easy to eat standing up though, or even on the go. I would definitely recommend this as a quick, delicious lunch option if you don't feel like killing an hour or two and paying 10€+ for your food. read more

Before I came to Venice, a lot of my friends recommended Bigoi! For it being fast food pasta, the food was not too bad! I tried the pesto, cheese & pepper and the bolognese (beef) sauce. The noodles were plump and had an al-dente chewy firmness! I highly recommend the bolognese beef! There is only standing area and it can be a bit crowded. This more of a place to go to if you need a quick bite! read more

We've were so hungry after spending all morning walking around Venice. We wanted to be away from the tourist crowd (ironic) and wanted some quick and cheap lunch. We stopped at Bigoi, which was slightly away from the tourists. Every cup of pasta was 6€ (I would say average portion for the price). The noodles were very much like the spaghetti noodles, but much thicker! I ordered the beef Bolognese one as it was one of the most popular ones. The sauce was delicious and treated very good with the thick noodles! Not bad for 6€! There isn't any seating area in the restaurant, just stand up bars for you to eat. read more

I'm visiting Venice for a few days and have been craving some HOME MADE pasta! I looked at a few places and wanted to try Bigoi after walking past it a few times. Bigoi is easy to find, near lots of shops, and has free WiFi! I ordered #5 the Bolognese pasta and loved the texture, quality and taste of the pasta. The pasta comes in a cup in you can take it Togo or stand and eat at a counter top. I wish there were seats, especially after a long day of walking, but still worth it read more

Although, I know this is not dish that locals eat it was great place to get past for us for 5 euros. We went back twice because we liked it that much. Pasta is freshly made and sauce was very savory. Although the restaurant was a bit small you have to eat the pasta while standing. But eating this tasty pasta it will not be long to eat it. When you get a change to visit Venezia this past place is a must place to eat at. read more

Randomly found this spot while wandering around in Venice, what attracted us was the cute, smiley girl rolling out fresh pasta dough by the window. What a great PR move! We got the pesto pasta, which is served in a to go bowl, you can also get a lid for it. The pasta was so fresh and bouncy! The pesto pasta came with so much pesto and cheese, it was delicious! There was also free wifi, which is alwaaaays a plus. 5 eur for all pasta ?? Of course I will. read more

Great spot for a quick meal! We ended up coming here twice during our three days in Venice since it was close to where we were staying. I had the salsa (anchovies and onion) both times since it's a must try in Venice. The service is very efficient and the pasta was fresh. Compared to some of the other sit down restaurants we dined at, the quality was equally as good. However, there are no seats available inside so it's more like a grab and go or you can stand by the counters. But you can't beat the price! read more

Fantastic take away restaurant. Homemade pasta which you can watch the cooks make the pasta from the window. The guy was super friendly and we got our food fairly quickly after we ordered. I got the duck ragu which was so delicious and meaty. One of the best pasta I had since being in Italy. My husband got the spaghetti amatricana which was also delicious ! We both enjoyed our pastas and was happy we stopped by this place. read more

During my visit to Venice, I tried a lot of the different takeaway pasta places like Dal Moro's, and I have to say most of them are pretty comparable in terms of quality and price. That being said, I recommend this place because it's much easier to go here than a super popular place like Dal Moro's. The bigoli noodles are fresh, thick, and have a great chew to them. Top quality noodles. I tried the duck ragu and it was tasty. If I went again though, I'd probably get the squid ink or anchovy salsa. If you're looking for a good takeaway noodle place, you should go here. read more

5€ for pasta of your choice. The noodles were too al Dante in my opinion. When you bite into it, you can see that the pasta isn't cooked all the way through. Tried the bolognese and duck ragu! This is a good snack to carry while walking around the streets of Venice. read more

Great little place. Very quick excellent pasta. We tried the beef ragu and seafood pasta. Both one of the best I have tasted. If you wish to cook the pasta at home and buy sauce separate (like if you have air bnb) then its half price. Cook the pasta for 7 min in boiling water, pour sauce and it's delicious. Must try in Venice! read more

I would not mind eating my every meal in Venice here, if my family weren't with me! For only €5, Bigoi's generous portion of "pasta fresca" (fresh pasta) is especially undeniable, especially in the city where most restaurants charge a per-person cover charge and mandatory service fee. Plus, you will get your hot cooked pasta within a minute - Truly fast food! Of course, aside from cheap, big-portioned, and fast, the pasta of Bigoi is most importantly delicious! The initially daunting-looking squid ink pasta, the hearty duck ragu pasta, the simple tomato sauce pasta: you can't go wrong no matter which one you choose. I have been here at least twice and honestly cannot pick a favorite because all of them are delicious in their own ways. Just pick whichever appeals to your preferences the most, and I guarantee that you'll love it! Because this is a takeaway place, you won't find seating here, but Bigoi has standing booths for you to dine if you don't want to carry a big cup of pasta around. Not all meals need to be a big splurge to be a delicious one, so I highly recommend swinging by here no matter how long or where you are staying in the beautiful Venezia. This fast food pasta by the Frari and San Rocco will certainly blow you away! --- tl;dr version: 1) Cheap, big-portioned, quick, and delicious 2) Plenty of choices, each for only €5 3) Highly recommend! Located by Frari and S Rocco read more

They have wifi!!!! Just ask at the counter for the password. It's super slow, but it's nice to have when you're trying to plan the next part of your itinerary. As others have mentioned, it's almost like Dal Moro's. Many of the sauces are totally different so it's hard to compare on the flavors. The noodles are softer here, which I prefer but that's just me. It's also €5 for everything compared to the €5-€7 at Del Moro's. We had the duck ragu and it's yummy but super rich. I couldn't handle more than a few bites but my husband devoured everything so every person might feel different about it. read more

Bigoi was our first stop in Venice. This is a tiny little pasta shop with very limited standing only options if you are looking to eat there. It is mostly a to go pasta place. The pasta dishes were about 6-7 euros per cup. I got the Bolognese which was flavorful but also really rich and fatty. The texture of their pasta was cooked very well and had a nice chewy al dente texture. My wife ordered the seafood pasta and she really enjoyed it. Nice little place to stop for some quality pasta in Venice! read more

Bigoi is the second pasta to-go place I've been to while in Venice. I must say, it's not as great as Dal Moro's. It's still good, but if you only had time to go to one, I recommend Dal Moro's. Here's why: 1st thing is the smaller portions. You get what you pay for, 5 euro worth of food. Not enough for a full meal, but it's definitely at least a hearty snack. 2nd is the amount of sauce. I like my pasta very saucy, but there was just enough to cover my pasta. Though the sauce was good, it didn't feel like enough. I also thought the lady behind the counter was rude. One was busy making the pasta and one was taking orders at the register. The lady at the register was taking orders, but once she got to us, she just walked away. Didn't say when she was going to the be back and just left a line of people waiting. 10 minutes later, she emerged with her bag, ready to leave. She just said bye to the cook and left! How rude! The lady cooking the food took over the register responsibilities when she saw what happened and apologized to everyone on the line. If you're close by, this place is certainly worth trying, but you won't miss anything if you don't come here. read more

What a great find in Venice Italy. Small little shop along a very busy tourist area that serves homemade pasta in a cup for people on the go. The "restaurant" is 10ft by 10ft and customers crowd in to grab a hot paper bowl of pasta to go - pesto spaghetti in our case. The spaghetti is thicker than what I'm used to - but MUCH tastier! I was hungry, but only 2-3 hours from supper, so I didn't want a meal - this bite was perfect for 3:30 in the afternoon. Loved the no frills pesto spaghetti and loved the idea of a quick bite in a cup to go! read more

This place was a very small shop with only one wall for standing room. There's basically no where to sit, so it's just an in and out place. Although the noodles were fresh, the menu was too simple for me. You basically go in and order whatever extra "topping" you want in your noodles. They only had red tomato sauce, I typically prefer white sauce. The bacon bits were pretty large, almost like thick pork belly. Overall good for a quick stop but it's nothing super special in my opinion read more

Only things to you need to know... - Bigoi only makes 1 kind of pasta: An amazingly springy and delightfully chewy fresh pici. - Choose from 7 flavorful sauces: pomodoro, pesto, duck ragu, beef ragu, amatriciana (bacon), pescadora (seafood) and Venexiana (venetian/fish). - 5 Euros My boyfriend and I found this little gem by accident, and were we glad! We had 4 bowls of pasta from Bigoi in 2 days. We tried the duck ragu, amatriciana, pescadora and Venixiana. They all had distinct flavor and all delicious. The pici itself was positively addictive. This is a no frills place. Either you eat there, standing at a counter, or you can take it over the nearby bridge and make yourself a little picnic at Campo Margherita. I recommend the later, because you can get gelato at "Il Doge" for dessert. read more

This pasta place was recommended to us by our dinner companions from the night before. We were told that it only sells pasta (specifically spaghetti), had standing room only, but it only cost €5. Having had spaghetti the night before, I wasn't really keen on spaghetti but after touring the frigid doges palace from 8 to almost 12pm and then walking in pouring rain, I was ready for anything. The staff speak English. The shop is warm. There is a sign for all the different kinds of pasta in Italian and English. Tempted by Venetian seafood, I got the spaghetti in Venetian black cuttlefish sauce. My travel companions got the duck ragu, seafood, bolognese, and the vegetarian one. The spaghetti is made fresh and the staff boils the pasta in front of you and you are served within minutes. You are provided a fork and a serviette. I got a steaming box of spaghetti and added some chilli flakes to it. You can also add olive oil, fresh parmesan cheese, and salt. The black cuttlefish spaghetti is the best pasta ive ever had and I don't even like pasta. There were so many pIeces of cuttlefish in it. Not stingy at all. The spaghetti is drenched in cuttlefish ink and I literally wish I had a spoon to scoop up all the ink on the sides and the bottom of the boc. I tried not to lick the sauce in public. I also tried the duck ragu spaghetti and loved it. This place is amazing. I walked out smiling, warm and my mouth and parta of my face blackened with black ink. This other customer finished his box of pasta and I saw him order another one. Guess that says it all!! read more

A must-visit when you're in Venice! Their pasta is delicious and very fresh. You can choose your topping, my favorite was pomodoro (tomato), and my second favorite is pesto. The pesto gets old quicker than the tomato does, but they're both absolutely delicious. They also have free bread to "scoop up the extra sauce at the bottom," as the guy told me. ....and the best part, it's only €5! What a deal! We had a lot of disappointing sit-down meals in Venice so we were very happy to find that this place was so delicious and such a good value. read more

While in Venice, my wife and I kept seeing take away pasta shops. Though we wanted to get the best food possible on our trip, we were also just curious about these little shops. We'd never seen anything like this in the United States and thought it was a cool idea. So one night after a long day of walking, we decided to go quick and easy with dinner and stopped at Bigoi. And it was a great decision!! For about $6 each, we got two pastas that were far better than I expected. I had a bolognese and my wife had a pomodoro. Both sauces were good and the noodles themselves were great. Very happy we tried it out! read more

Delicious, fresh and inexpensive! Stumbled upon this place as we were exploring Venice. You pick your pasta and sauce. They make everything in house and your order is fresh made as well. There is a massive wheel of cheese by the window that the pasta is mixed in. It's a place I would go back to and wish we had it here this here in the states. read more

Places like Bigoi are tricky for me to rate. Am I rating it for how it compares to what it should be? Or am I rating it overall and in comparison to my own expectations? Example: An In n Out burger, for taste and cost, is 5 stars. But is it the same as a perfectly done burger at a 5 star restaurant? Definitely not. But both can be equal of 5 stars. When reading ratings of Bigoi I thought I was going to get the best damn pasta cup in all of Italy. In the end, it was fast food. Good fast food. A novel concept of fast food pasta, which is convenient to grab when you're on the go, but it's nothing terribly special and I wouldn't really recommend going out of your way to experience it. At the end of the day its a cup of pasta (done well) and tempered expectations will take you farther. But it's not a place I would recommend to any friends visiting to Venice nor a place I'd want to go more than once, but definitely a place to consider if you're in the area and looking to eat - sounds right up the alley of a 3 star joint to me. read more
