Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 70 times today
Join us at Aunt Jake's Upper East Side for our Pasta Making Class & 3-course pasta menu! The cost is $60 per person for pasta instruction and the prefix meal. We require a $10 per person non-refundable deposit. The entire experience is approximately 2.5 hours. Please use the OpenTable mobile app for best results when booking the Pasta Experience.–Aunt Jake's was founded in 2015, as the company set out to replicate the idyllic, simplistic cuisine we grew up to enjoy. However, we wanted to create Italian food for the “next” generation. The idea was to develop an Italian concept around the customer’s choice of how to eat pasta compared to how the restaurant wanted you to eat it. With that in mind, Aunt Jake’s core mission is to bring high-quality fresh ingredients daily to craft our handmade pasta and sauces health-consciously. The customer can mix and match sauce with shape and create a custom dish of their own.

    We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!

    The service was absolutely phenomenal, yet again! Perfect for the Holidays! The Hostesses were friendly and welcoming - they read my notes which I appreciated. Our server was the cherry on top, knowing exactly what drink I wanted without any explanation—most places, I have to describe what a Kerryoael is, but he nailed it right away. Loved that little detail. Plus, getting extra salted nuts was a fun little bonus! I’ll definitely be back again!
