FANTASTIC FIND! I was beyond excited when I walked in and saw them making the pasta right in front of me. Tried the beef ragu and it was incredible. The flavors were so fresh and on point. It was a great option as we were on the go and didn't want to sit for lunch. The portion was generous and the perfect size. read more

Love love love this small to go pasta place! I wish there is one in Los Angeles near my house. That thick pasta noodle is just amazing. We've tried three different pastas and all of them were really good. If I have to pick one then my choice is the nero(black) pasta. We ate at the hotel with a bottle of wine. I honestly did not expect the taste because it is made for to go. I was wrong. We both were amazed! Have to try this place if you are in Venezia. If I can go back, then I will definitely visit again. read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by for a fast no-nonsense dinner. My wife ordered the duck and I got the beef. We also ordered the pesto to share. The service was wonderful, and we got our pasta in less then 5 minutes. As far as the taste goes, it's nothing special. It is a fast food pasta place. I liked the beef and the pesto tasted okay, but a bit salty. My wife on the other hand, hated the duck. I would go back here, but my wife would not. She thinks the duck meat smells funny. Now for portion size: One is good enough for a single person, but after a long day walking around we were both hungry. That being said, 1.5 was perfect especially because we had such a small lunch. There is chili peppers and extra cheese to-go but you need to request it. read more

Bigoi and Dal Moro's are often compared since both operate on a similar model - fast, fresh pasta at an affordable price. Even though Dal Moro is my pick, Bigoi has excellent pasta with a delicious bolognese sauce. Bigoi has smaller portion but you do pay one euro less. It is a decent, quick snack and great if you are close by. Each cup cost €5, which is cheap for Venice. read more

Hands down some of the best pasta I have ever had. The specificity and limitations to the menu allows for the perfection and dedication to each sauce and the pasta itself. Came here on a rainy day before COVID and just found it on my Yelp saved. I thought this place was worth coming back and reviewing due to the price point, the friendly nature of the staff, and the delicious pasta. Of course there are those who criticize the tourist's opinion on pasta and yes, there obviously is better pasta in Venezia, but for the fast pace and quick bite that this place provides, I would say it is worth it. read more

This is a unique little place that makes fresh pastas. There are no chairs so be prepared to stand while eating your pasta in a little cup. If you didn't know already, eating while standing is also a common practice in restaurants that are cheap and fast. You are also NOT allow to bring wine/alcohol in there so drop it off before coming in. We had the cuttlefish with black Venetian ink (6.5 euros) and it was pretty delicious so I'm glad our local tour guide recommended this. Definitely had a fishy taste to it and if you're not careful, you'll get black sauce all over your shirt and face. We were told that this is a common dish in Venice so we tried it. I really liked it but my friend didn't so take that for what it is. I'm also a lot more adventurous with my food. read more

Did you read my review for the other to-go pasta cup place? Did I post that one yet? Yes? No? I don't know. It's a copy of that. Well, it's not an exact copy. Bigoi was a welcome respite from the high prices for okay food that we found in the rest of Venice. What you get is a cup filled with pasta for a decent price that has plenty of flavor for your buck (err...euro) and will leave you satisfied. Plus it doesn't close super early, so win for that too. As with all of Venice, finding this place is really the biggest issue. But when you are in a town full of nothing but alleyways, that applies to every single restaurant or shop. What did we get? What should you get? It doesn't really matter. But you are in Venice, so go for the seafood if you can (really good seafood here). Friendly customer service too, which is always welcome. Compared to the other popular pasta cup place, I would say this wins out, if only for the fact that it naturally has a bit more flavor. well done, Bigoi. read more

This place came up in a search consistently as one of the best fresh pasta places so we decided to try it. They only have the spaghetti noodles as the only option and you pick a sauce from the menu. The noodles are super thick, 2x the kind you normally eat. There are 7 or 8 sauce options. We chose the bolognese. It was pretty delicious. It's a small shop with two counters to eat standing up. We liked it. read more

For the price in Venice, you cannot beat the quality of food you get at Bigoi. I stopped by twice during my stay in Venice and both times the food was top notch. It comes out piping hot after about a minute, and although there's no seating you can stand at the ledges inside and eat or take it to go. The duck confit was my favorite, but the bolognese had a similar taste/texture and was very good as well. read more

Before my trip to Venice, I scoured Yelp for budget spots to grab some tasty grub. Since Bigoi was so highly recommended, we stopped by here on our first night in the city after a long day of travel. As others have mentioned it's standing room only. They also only have the pasta, no drinks are sold here nor other food. There are 8 different kinds of sauce, all served atop homemade pasta. I was feeling adventurous so I got the cuttlefish in black Venetian sauce. The bf got the duck ragu. It was prepared quickly and ready in less than 5 minutes. I was a bit skeptical when I got mine as it looked like just a big black blob, however the taste was surprisingly good. The duck ragu was good but the flavor was a bit overpowering. While the concept here is beat and the experience was decent overall, we made better pasta in our apartment the next night, in my opinion. It wasn't a mind blowing experience. read more

History

Established in 2015.

Everything has started with an idea of genuine food, simple, cheap and fast. This type of food service is usually offered by some fast food companies which hardly reflect all those values. Especially if we consider genuineness, an increasing trend which is rarely respected. BIGOI was born as a modern food service concept focused on the fresh egg pasta, which is a great example of genuine,quick to prepare, healthy food, known all over the world as a true star of Italian cuisine tradition...
