I'm hesitant to talk about Claudio and his food at Bigoli because he will get so busy I'll never get a table. Food is fabulous. Hugo Oliva provides incredible hospitality in the dining room! Fabulous neighborhood dining experience. Sushhh. Don't tell too many people.
Intimate restaurant on Montana. Food and service were excellent.
Amazing Burrata & Volgone dishes. Potatoes and Brussels sprouts were very good ... we sat at the bar at the end and engaged in great, interesting & entertaining conversation with Claudio - inventor/creator of most of the dishes.
Food is so clean and delicious!
Regional Italian pasta classics to perfection from the top chef who created the menus for Pane e Vino and Prego... with specialties such as the tripe dish here you cannot get anywhere else...and the one waiter handling the entire room seamlessly creates the complete dining experience
This place is tiny, quiet and absolutely charming. My girlfriend described what she was in the mood for to the waiter and they whipped up an off-menu garlic and olive oil pasta that was absolutely fantastic. I had a spaghetti that was really excellent; perfectly al dente with a nice meat sauce. The restaurant is small and welcome change compared larger more commercial places. The bread and appetizer weren’t 100%, but this place gets 5-stars for the overall dinner experience.
Delicious food and excellent service in a cozy atmosphere. The talented chef (maybe also the owner?) stopped by to check in. Our group noticed open tables as we finished our meal so we stayed and talked and enjoyed the atmosphere until closing time. I appreciated the warm welcome and will return.
Fresh, homemade noodles. I had the Bucatini and it was delicious. Good sized portion but not over the top. I tried the pizza too and it was tasty. Give this place a try. You’ll be glad you did.
Great staff, solid food.
A great little place for dinner, serving more of a local clientele. I had the tripe appetizer, silk handkerchief pasta, my wife had the chicken paillard and we shared the panna cotta dessert.
I definitely recommend a visit if you are looking Italian food on Montana Ave.
Confused why google hasn't updated these reviews/images that are from years ago when the restaurant opened under a new name/chef in December. The maitre d and restaurant partner was very welcoming and made great menu recommendations. We felt adventurous and ordered tripe (which was the best I've ever had), and finished our hearty plates of duck ragu and meat filled pasta.
Delicious food. Delicately seasoned. I was just there last evening. We had Grilled Octopus - great combination of flavors, Silk Hankerchiefs - fabulous, and Saltimbocca Alla Romana - so good. This is wonderful food from a true chef from northern Italy.
This restaurant has only been open for seven months. It is very different from the previous occupant.
Thank you for a great meal and a lovely dining experience.
I love eating at this cozy, old school, traditional Italian restaurant. the artichokes are perfection, as is saltimbocca... and everything else I have tasted here. fresh ingredients, gluten free options, and specials that change seasonally - braised beef cheeks melt in your mouth...
There are only 5 stars.....
It made me feel like I was having dinner in a trattoria next door my house in Italy!
The food is authentic Italian, and I mean authentic, the place it's not noisy and Claudio is a master chef.
I have already started advertising it with my friends.
Bravo Claudio!!
