• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side

Booked 55 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.

Delicious flavorful dishes. We had the green curry (moderate spice), crying tiger, and Mama E La (my favorite dish hands down). We also had the ume dessert which was very unique. Cocktails were stellar too! The vibe there was boisterous, energized, and fun - quite reminiscent of a lively corner street vendor in Bangkok. Service once seated was perfect, but on arrival the host staff were a little frazzled and chaotic. Overall a positive experience and would return!
