Bigoli Fresh Pasta is an informal Italian restaurant at 123 City Road near Old Street. Pasta is extruded on site each morning through a traditional brass die, while sauces are prepared in the kitchen and each order is cooked when it is requested. The counter service format keeps the experience convenient without losing the freshness and care associated with a bowl of pasta made to order.
Diners can choose from penne, rigatoni, spaghetti, fusilli, bigoli and fettuccine before matching the shape with a sauce. Tomato based choices include pomodoro with basil, arrabbiata, aubergine alla Norma, Bolognese, amatriciana and sausage sauce. Garlic, olive oil and chilli offer a simpler combination, while chicken arrabbiata and the chef’s sauce add further variety.
Creamier options include pesto, Alfredo, carbonara, truffle, chicken and prawn sauces. Several tomato and vegetable recipes are suitable for a vegan order, and gluten free penne can be cooked in separate water, although the restaurant operates a shared kitchen. This flexible format allows guests to select a familiar pairing or try a different pasta shape and sauce on each visit.
Focaccia, arancini, Italian meatballs and macaroni cheese bites provide small dishes before the pasta. Mozzarella with pesto and burrata salads add fresher choices, while tiramisu, caramel mousse and chocolate lava cake complete the meal. Italian wine and beer, soft drinks and a children’s menu make the restaurant practical for a quick lunch, casual dinner or family visit.
