Bigoli is the thick Venetian one with the rough surface that holds sauce better than spaghetti. We are named after it. Gluten-free penne, cooked in separate water.

What people say
They order it by shape too.
Stopped by Bigoli in Old Street for some fresh pasta and was served by Hassan. He was super friendly and welcoming, and the pasta he made was spot on rich in flavour, cooked perfectly, and served with a smile.
The 5* review reflects the food rather than the venue. Bigoli is small with limited seating some of which are used for people waiting for takeaways.
A hearty lunch. The meal deal is a good option to opt for. Freshly made pasta in delicious sauce!
