Bigoi Venezia

My fiancé and I have been to this place last week after our trip to the MET, and we were truly impressed. The pasta is very authentic, and, surprisingly, reasonably priced (especially for this area). Their staff is very nice. I can't wait to visit it again to try more of their pasta dishes.

I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed so much a freshly made pasta 🍝 with such a delicious tomato sauce that brought me back to my childhood, and enhanced even to higher levels of flavor!! Me and my partner were surprised when the chef and owner of the business came to our table to ask us our opinion about the dish, such a lovely humble man! You can tell he loves what he creates and does, and his passion about cooking and of course Venice! He told us about where he came from and had a very lovely personality. The girl on the register is very very sweet as well as the other man helping in the kitchen. The pasta is thick and reminded me of udon noodles, which we loved! There is so much variety of dishes! I loved that! We can’t wait to go back to try a different dish!

I had an amazing experience at this pasta place! The pasta was incredibly delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of rich flavor. I was genuinely impressed by how fresh everything tasted. Even more surprising was their generosity—they gave me a free serving of pasta, which truly made my day. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. It’s rare to find a place that cares this much about both quality and customer experience. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves great pasta!

Good portion sizes with affordable prices. The texture of the noodles is perfectly chewy and I love how firm they are, just like the ones I had in Italy. The owner/chef is kind and provides excellent service. Even though this is more of a takeaway place, they still offer dine-in service which is a nice bonus.

I'm born and raised in Italy, I tried pasta here for the first time and I can tell you: this is the spot!! Pasta is fresh, al dente (I had puttanesca) and tasty. Prices are affordable and service was fast, I ordered and after 3 min it was ready to go. 100% recommended.

5 stars all around! A neighborhood staple fresh pasta joint. A simple menu, food featuring the same fresh perfectly cooked pasta with your selection of sauces! The pea prosciutto sauce is my favorite! The bolognese one is also a classic go-to. Eat on a stool at the small tall counter (with a real plate and fork) or take it to go. Such kind and friendly service and a clean place. They are quick, and the pasta is fresh and hot! Enjoy!

We had the Piselli E Prosciutto and Ai Funghi Pasta, both were fresh and absolutely delicious. The place was clean and the service was fast and friendly.

Best pasta in NYC! I love this place. Consistently accurate fast delivery of superb pasta. Never had a bad meal here. One of my goals is to try every pasta dish on the menu. The owner is delightful, and the lady at the register is kind and intelligent in her work. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Try it: you won’t be sorry!

GENEROUS amount of pasta for a good price! we got the aglio e olio and the ragu and both were very good. VERY friendly service as well. just an overall cute little place to stop by for some quick pasta!

4.5 *!! All the staff and chef were really nice. I had a nice chat with the chef. Such a sweet guy! The food was delicious! Thicker noodles aren't my thing but it was so good that I looked past it so that was the only reason for the rating. I did forget to take a pic of the dish tho. I def will return whenever I am in the area.

I stopped by Begoi Venezia around 3 PM on a Saturday, and it was not busy at all. Their handmade pasta is SOO good, and the sauces are flavorful and really generous (super saucy, in the best way). The prices are awesome for the quality, and the takeout containers made it easy to grab and go, though we ended up eating at their small high-top seating area inside. The owner and staff were super nice and made the whole experience feel really welcoming. If you're craving tasty, fresh pasta without breaking the bank, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Perfect for a casual meal or an easy takeout option!

Superb fresh bigoli pasta with a variety of sauces! Fast-casual style joint with a couple seats but predominantly a takeout spot. Staff is super friendly! I came with some friends after a day at the Met and it hit the spot! We got the Ai Funghi, Piselli e Proscuitto, and the Bolognese. My personal favorite was the Ai Funghi- creamy and generous portion of mushrooms. You honestly can't go wrong so just get whichever sauce sounds the best, the perfectly al dente fresh bigoli pasta is what carries this.

If you want fresh, authentic, quality, Venetian-style pasta for the right price - this is your spot in the UES. I had the pleasure of meeting the hard-working owner, Sebastian, who comes in every day to make the pasta himself. In typical northern Italian style, he was warm, welcoming, friendly and generous. I had the bolognese, which was phenomenal. The pasta is made perfectly al-dente. The quality of the ingredients are obvious! I'm so happy to find my new neighborhood pasta spot.

Such a cute place! I stopped with a friend for lunch and had some lovely carbonara (I think?) with no meat. The pasta was delicious. You order at the counter and they serve you. The chef came out as well and asked how our food was. Great spot for a quick bite!

The line for the popular burger place was over an hour so we came here instead for a quick dinner. This place is fast food Italian with a limited menu to just pasta dishes. No frills at all. No apps. No desserts. We got the bolognese which was as expected. I got the prosciutto and peas with a very thick white creamy sauce. It wasn't my favorite. Both the noodles were the same - thick and al dente. I liked hearing the pasta machine working in the background. I would come again and try another of their pastas. I just wasn't a fan of the prosciutto and ham one.

If you are a pasta lover, this is a spot that offers 8 different dishes using a different type of pasta which was new to me at this small cozy location in Lenox Hill. I ordered a classic bolognese pasta but this a first time trying it with bogoli pasta which is a long, thick noodle which is known in the Veneto region of Italy. At first I was confused by the small portion of pasta and thickness of it. But it was quite filling by the time I took my last few bites. While waiting on my order I expressed how thirsty I was and the cashier was kind enough to give me a cup of water. This is good customer service and considerate since they could've offered to sell me a soda or carbonated drink which I wasn't in the mood for on that day. I highly recommend coming over to Lenox Hill and checking this place out. Do be mindful that it does get lively one minute with delivery pickups and groups of people hanging out. But it is an overall chill and quiet place to enjoy some bogoli pasta

Tried the mushroom and the pea and prosciutto pastas. Theyre pretty creamy and the noodles are kind of similar to udon noodles. Pretty generous with the toppings and good portion sizes. The price is really good for what you get as well!

Real authentic bigoli! Bigoli is a thick spaghetti and this is the real thing. Super nice owner and ok pricing. Fast service. Would go back.

I got the puttanesca pasta. The service was fast and the owner and workers were very passionate about their fresh ingredients and affordability will definitely be coming back to try a meat based sauce!

Overall a very solid quick meal, perfect for take out!! Got to try the Piselli e Prosciutto and the Ai Funghi pastas. Their homemade pasta was cooked al dente for the former but slightly undercooked for the latter. For sauces the Piselli e Prosciutto featured a well-seasoned mixture of ham and peas. It was pretty creamy and had a good sauce to noodle ratio. The mushroom sauce could have used a little more salt and pepper but the mushroom flavor was pretty prominent. I appreciated how generous the amount of toppings for both dishes were! Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get, especially in the UES! The store is pretty small and has limited bar seating. Besides just take-out, they also have dine-in options with proper service/tableware. Food came out super quick. Nothing super fancy but honestly a fantastic option for a tasty, affordable meal!

Incredible pasta! Actually phenomenal. The noodles are cooked perfectly. Chewy. Al dente. Perfection. The portions are generous and the 3 pastas I tried were all great (Bolognese Classica, Piselli e Prosciutto, and AI Funghi). My favorite was the Al Funghi. Honestly, their pasta rivals that of Carbone and Torrisi. I will definitely be back to try the other sauces!

Fresh pasta is always a plus. Tasted good. The pasta was a little too thick for my liking. It's a place I'll have once, and only once. I can make pasta for much cheaper. It was hard to eat out of the container since all the pasta was at the bottom and stuck together and the sauce was only on top. Had to find a paper plate to dump it out and mix it. It was good but $16 is steep for basic pasta.

My office ordered lunch from this restaurant, the pasta is far from authentic pasta. I ordered the prosciutto pasta, which was basically ham sliced and the sauce tasted like ketchup.

I had high hopes for Bigoi Venezia after reading all the reviews and seeing the prices. I love the concept of this place, seems similar to Forma Pasta which I absolutely love. The seating here is mainly at the counters and after ordering up at the front, the food was served very quickly (within 5 minutes). I ordered the Ai Funghi and unfortunately I was not impressed. The pasta, although was al dente, was on the thicker side and couldn't soak up all the sauce very well. I wish they had mixed the sauce into the pasta rather than just pour it on top as I felt like there was not enough sauce for the amount of pasta that they had. I appreciate the mushrooms in the sauce, but it wasn't too special or memorable. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed in Bigoi Venezia. Cool concept but the execution needs just a little bit more work.

One of my favorite lowkey spots for pasta, no frills pasta that you can pick up and eat on the go and phenomenal quality for the pasta and sauces

I got the peas, ham, and cream to stay. Very tasty! The pasta is cooked very al dente. I will be back for their other pastas. Even though this is more of a takeout place, I ate in and they brought me my food! Nice of them!

Grana e Pepe was 10/10! I found this spot on Yelp and decided to check them out. The Chef / maybe owner? was so sweet to me and I'm sorry I was in a bad mood bc of travel/ hangover lol. I will for sure be back whenever I'm in NY!!

Quick service! It's primarily a take out location, with little seating. However, it's a place you don't want to miss! They serve one pasta shape, which is a homemade noodle. We ordered three dishes - AI FUNGHI (mushroom), AL TACCHINO (ground turkey), GRANA E PEPE (cheese and pepper). The fan favorite was grana e pepe. The food was DELICIOUS! The packaging is eco friendly in cardboard containers, and they provide wooden sporks. We will be back!

I found this location through TikTok because I was craving pasta, yet had to be on the Upper East side for plans and couldn't make it down to Little Italy and oh my god. Oh wow. Perfection!!!! Freshly made, thick noodles, perfect price point?? I'm blown away. I'm a stickler for Italian food and this was everything I wanted and more. It's been about a week since having it and I dream of having this pasta again. Ragù di Manzo....wait for me. The shop is small, primarily set up as a take out location. But dining in off hours was such a nice experience, and the staff is kind and helpful to anything we needed. The service was great and I really hope this restaurant stays open for whenever the next time I'm in NYC is!

Smiles all around in this little gem! What a find. The staff was so friendly and rightfully proud of the delicious fresh pasta served perfectly al dente. We got here early so we were able to have a seat at small high top bar like table along the wall. You can watch them make the pasta and have it ready for your enjoyment in no time at all. We had the Ai Funghi and the Aglio Olio e Peperoncino and both were delicious! Both full of flavor and satisfying. Plenty of garlic on the Aglio Olio and just the right amount of mushrooms on the Ai Funghi. Looking forward to our return for some more delicious pasta.

Taking off one star because they no longer accommodate sauce mixes without an extra charge. Disappointed :-( I'm sure the pasta is still delicious though! I didn't indulge this time because I had a specific craving but I wanted to update my review for accuracy. The sauces they do have are great so I'll still return when I want one in particular.

I've sampled every dish on their menu, and Bigoi's pasta texture is unlike any other. I enjoyed all the dishes, but my top five are Grana e Pepe, In Salsa Antica, Aglio Olio e Peperoncino, Bolognese Classica, and Filetti di Prosciutto Al Chardonnay. The service is quick and attentive, and on some days, the owner personally cooks and delivers the meals--he's incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's definitely a healthy hidden gem in the city!

was in the area searching for some yummy quick yet cheap eats, and this was the perfect spot! the shop is pretty small but there's some seating and seems great for taking to go. our cashier was so so sweet and extremely helpful! Filetti di Prosciutto al Chardonnay - 7/10 not bad but definitely wasn't my favorite Aglio Olio e Peperoncino - 10/10 OMG. absolutely DELICIOUS so light yet very flavorful, if you love garlic this is a MUST. the pasta was perfectly al dente i liked the texture ALOT. Grana e Pepe - 10/10 typically i'm not a huge cacio e pepe fan but this was different. the cream was SO good. the flavor was just right. would come back. highly recommend.

Five stars to the restaurant that had my back tonight as I spent Valentine's Day alone. It had all the qualities of a great date. Thicc - the noodles are cooked to a perfect al dente. They're nice and thick to sopp up all of the sauce Decadent - the sauces - both red and white, are decadent. The olives in the red sauce add a bit of a sour kick which I enjoyed. Rich - extremely rich in flavor and extremely tasty. The white sauce with the peas and prosciutto (let's be honest, this is more like Canadian bacon than cured prosciutto) was also delicious. I love that this place was fast and cheap and tasty. No frills, just good cooking and efficient. I will be back! The white sauce was something special.

This little place is outstanding. The pasta served is like a thick spaghetti with an amazing chewy texture that was cooked to perfection. I ordered the AI Funghi which was absolutely delicious. I've eaten at many of the highly rated and expensive Italian Restaurants around New York, and I have to say that I have never had a better plate of pasta. Don't take my word for it, go try it! You won't be disappointed

The pasta is so yummy. The staff is always so attentive and provides to you what you need. The chef also checked in to see how everything was. I always enjoy coming here and eating some yummy pasta.

oh my god the BEST pasta I ever had. A must if you visit New York. The pasta was cooked perfectly with amazing texture and the sauce was full of flavor. We got the Aglio Olio e Peperoncino (10/10) this was my favorite. It was light and was full of flavor. If ur a garlic girlie GET IT !!!!!! We also got the Grana e Pepe (8/10) it was soooo creamy and even better when you mix it with the aglio pasta (10/10 if mixed) pls mix it u won't regret !! The last pasta Filetti di Prosciutto al Chardonnay was pretty good but I'm not a fan of red sauce pastas so I give it a (5/10) The cashier helping us was so sweet and recommended all of those amazing dishes for us. The restaurant is a little small but it still fit the 4 of us comfortably.

It's rare to find fast food restaurant-quality pasta, so I'm very glad this place exists. Bear in mind, when I say "fast food" I mean a casual place where you can pick up your meal and go or dine in for 15-30 minutes and leave. Your order comes out within a minute or two (mine literally came out as soon as I sat on my seat). I ordered the pomodoro, the sauce of which was very delicious, although I would have loved just a leaf of basil in there. But still, quite good, and even better the day after eaten cold! So refreshing for the summer. The spaghetti they use is the thicker type, which I'm still getting used to, but it didn't ruin the dish for me. This place is super convenient, easy, casual, and delicious. I'd definitely come back here again!

My daughter and I popped in to split a pasta dish, and loved every bite! The fresh pasta was perfectly prepared and the pomodoro sauce was delicious. The two people working were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even coming to our counter to check on us halfway through the meal. Perfect spot for a quick, fresh meal!

Very Welcoming and Friendly the Head Chef/ Owner approached me as well and describe the process of how the sauce and Protein is made very delightful and just made me hungrier and eager to try to Pasta after my First bite I was like wow I ordered Ragú Didn't Manzo Definitely recommend this Spot.

Sooo good, quick and easy I've enjoyed all the pastas I've tried here The service is quick

I came here with my friends for a quick little lunch during our trip here in NYC. We stumbled across this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The restaurant was very small as it is mainly to go orders. They did have some seating along the wall that's on a floating table. The staff was so friendly and the cashier took the time to explain her favorites on the menu and what it consisted of to help with our decision. We ended up getting 3 pastas: - Grana e Pepe 10/10 my absolute favorite! So creamy and flavorful. Definitely a MUST. - Filette di Prosciutto Al Chardonnay 5/10 not my favorite as it was tomato based. - Aglio Olio e peperoncino 9/10 soo yummy another favorite of mine. Also a must.

The pasta was amazinggg I will definitely be coming here again. Workers were friendly, and there's some seating inside as well.

This restaurant not only serves delicious food, but the workers are incredibly friendly. The ingredients were fresh and the noodles perfectly al dente. The prices were extremely affordable too. The chef himself came to chat with us, offering his suggestions, and even making the pasta himself! He was also so kind and checked on us to see what we thought about the pasta, explaining where some of the recipes originated. The shop has about 6 seats along the wall/window. We enjoyed our time here, and we will be back!

This place is great. Affordable, big portions, and really tasty. It's a to go type place when I'm running errands in the area, I often grab something to go. Their pasta is consistently delicious!

Extremely delicious pasta but the atmosphere is a bit unpleasant. (Ex. Teenage boys sitting and causing a commotion.) That being said, the staff is always very kind and this is one of my favorite restaurants! -- Dr. McGee

I am disgusted by the response by the owner of this restaurant. To sit here and blatantly lie about our experience while facing the proof of their bad hygiene is a slap to the face of myself and my girlfriend. This experience ruined our evening and caused us not to eat at all that night due to how disgusted we were. You've taken no accountability for your actions. I'd love to know what my motive would be to put hair in my own food before I ate it. As you can clearly see from the photos, the plate is full. The owner asked me multiple times what he could give us or if we'd come in for a free meal. I told him I wanted nothing other than to share our experience so it wouldn't happen to anyone else. I'm so glad I didn't go to the restaurant as I now see they're not the type of business I will ever support again. You should be ashamed of yourself and your lies.

Bigoi Venezia is a cheap, affordable and quick to-go pasta shop on the Upper East Side. The noodles are the huge Bigoli style and came in these large and warming containers that were perfect to go. When I went home, the pasta was still piping hot! I ordered the Aglio Olio E Peperoncino which was a nice and light pasta. The cheese they provided on the side was a nice touch, but I think the dish was overly hit with parsley. Would definitely love to come again and try their other pastas!

Such delicious pasta!! cannot wait to return. The cashier was sooo friendly and welcoming. She was very informative about all the pastas which made it easier for us to order. Quaint little pasta shop. Was a big small, only a few seats but was well worth it. Highly recommend

The food was so amazing, tasted like the pasta I had in Italy. The price point is also awesome and the owner is such a sweet guy. I really recommend this place, 10/10!

Pretty solid joint for takeout that doesn't hurt the wallet too much. New York City has some of the greatest Italian food in the country and it even manifests in this small, quick, grab and go pasta joint. I got the prosciutto pasta with peas and got to say for around $12, the portion size is pretty large. It was also very flavorful, leaning on the salty or side with the pieces of ham. It did start to get gummy a little bit with the cream sauce after waiting a bit, but the flavor was pretty good and the pasta texture itself was al dente. Bigoi is a style of pasta that is essentially a really thick spaghetti and it's hard to find elsewhere. Take advantage of it here. I think we're just overall was leaning on the salt her side, but will definitely come back here to order some of the other things, especially since an affordable takeout dinner is difficult to find in the upper east side.

It's a cold, grey day in New York City and a bowl of hot pasta from here is just so satisfying. The spot is pretty minimalist. Order a pasta style and it comes on a bed of noodles. That's it. So good! This spot definitely has a strong take out order game, but as someone who has both dined in and taken out, I would really, really recommend dining in. The noodles have a lovely chew that doesn't come through as much after they have cooled off in the container. It might be a little daunting if you're a novice solo diner, but it really is worth it. And the people watching at their window is also great.

service was great! very sweet workers. thanks for the extra parmesan guys perfect place if you like thick pasta. very filling and very quick! small dining area but overall really great. loved it!

This place was great! I'm gonna be honest, I think I would order something else next time. But I'm not taking off a star for it. It was still very delicious, this just isn't the Aglio olio I was expecting. Which is not a bad thing! My husband got something else that was really tasty! The food was great quality and everything tasted very fresh! The staff was quick and the restaurant was very clean. Loved sitting here on a rainy day eating my comfort food!

I've never written a review before.. and this place is so good I want to give it the recognition it deserves. the pasta is so fresh and delicious with perfect flavor and texture. Highly recommend!! Also, the chef from Italy is in the back cooking up - props to him! The service is also super fast.

This was such a nice surprise. The owner takes pride in consumer satisfactory. The food was authentic, no question and they make it fresh! I will be back. Ambiance was more of a grab and go vibe or you can sit on the stools but it's also nice to get it to-go and go to the park and enjoy it .

Got the Bolognese Classica - noodle was great so chewy and al dente but sauce was mid (not super flavorful and too oily). Would go again to try other dishes since the portions and price and quality was great but wouldn't get this again.
