What a joy to dine here today! Came in for a quick lunch and did not disappoint. From the cashier to owner, they are both friendly and make you feel like you’re visiting a family’s home for a meal. After order at the counter, you will be given complimentary water and cheese on the side. The owner, Sebastian, made it a point to come around the counter and greet customers making sure that they are happy with their meal and have everything they need. My favorite part is attention to details - Sebastian noticed that I use up all the cheese and bought out complimentary cheese block for tasting to go alongside my pasta. The pasta and sauce is made fresh daily and good value for the price paid. I was so impressed I ordered to go as well for another meal. Look forward to visiting again in the future!

I can finally say I have a favorite on the Upper East Side and it’s Bigoi Venezia!! Amazing pasta, freshly made with a great taste and flavor! It’s a small place but very cozy! They prepared a table for us quickly, the service was excellent and price is great too! I could have had another plate, it was really good! This is definitely my place to go on the UES! Healthy and Italian! Do yourself a favor and go try it! Please, be kind and tip well coz they absolutely deserve it! We need them in town for as long as possible! 💯 recommended! Thank you!

The owner and chef, Sebastian, was outstanding. He spoke with us about where and how his ingredients are sourced, where he gained his knowledge of pasta and was friendly and kind. We got the Ragú and Grana e Pepe - it was delicious and perfectly cooked. Sauce to noodle ratio was devine and the fresh pasta made all the difference.

Where can one get exceptional Italian pasta in the setting of casual dining (or take away)? Bigoi Venezia, that’s where. Description: I’ve only had the bolognese (I love it so much). Bucatini (long, thick spaghetti-like noodles), cooked perfectly al dente every.single.time. Generous amount of flavorful bolognese meat sauce. Add a little of the parmagiano they offer and 🤌 Portion size: one bowl is likely more than enough for one but def not enough for two. (Admittedly I eat the entire thing in one sitting- it’s too dang good not to) Service: Excellent. If you order there- prepare to wait ~7 mins or so whilst they make it fresh! You can order ahead on their website to limit in store waiting. Delivery is also a popular option. Vibe: Light interior. Warm temperature (from the kitchen). Small interior for sitting- bar top with maybe 4-6 stools (potentially originally designed for waiting rather than eating). They do offer eat-in with proper bowls and cutlery. Perfect for solo eating. Or up to 2 people in a group. Not ok for groups of 3 or more.

The pomodoro sauces tasted exactly how a tomato sauce should taste and the sauce to pasta ratio was just right. Overall, it was a great stop and if you‘re nearby and feel like you wanna have some good pasta, you now know where to go!

I have been to this lovely place a few times and all I can say is I am NEVER DISAPPOINTED. The staff is wonderful, the food is amazing, prices are very reasonable. One of the times I ordered and got delayed due to my job (veterinary technician) so I knew my food would not be hot by the time I picked up. As I let the staff know I was picking up, the chef (who is absolutely lovely) did not let them give me my order because he wanted to heat it up again so that I could have a hot meal. If that is not exceptional service, I don’t know what is. I’d give them 10 stars if I could ❤️

The pasta is delicious. I had the mushroom with basil in cream sauce. I never had such good pasta and I have eaten fresh pasta at other restaurants in Manhattan and on Long Island. The chef came out to say hello to us and inquired if we liked our dishes. He was very pleasant and friendly and explained that is a type of pasta from Venice. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The young lady that took our order was professional and sweet. The chef gave kudos to her for making the pasta. This place a definitely worth 5 stars.

The sauce (ham, peas, cream) was good and service was excellent and friendly but the bigoli noodles were so thick and dense that it diminished the quality of the dish. I really hate to say this because fresh bigoli noodles are this shops speciality, but if you replaced the bigoli in this dish (piselli e prosciutto) with a different pasta shape like gemelli, it would be a million times better because the sauce isn’t coating a giant dense log of wheat. Because the pasta is so thick, the ratio between sauce and carbs was not enjoyable and was too dense and carb heavy. A pasta shape like gemelli or trofie would hold both the cream sauce and the chunky ingredients like peas and ham better and the ratio between sauce and noodles would be better. I imagine their ragu or anchovy dish would be better with this style of noodle.
