• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 17 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.

    Dining at La Grande Boucherie in New York was nothing short of a magical experience, made all the more memorable by the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Maria. From the moment we were seated, Maria brought an extraordinary blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine charm to the table. Her attentiveness was impeccable, ensuring every detail of our evening was seamless, yet she carried it all with such an effortless grace that made us feel completely at ease. Maria's vibrant personality added a personal touch to the evening, making it feel less like a dinner and more like a celebration. She had the rare ability to anticipate our needs without being intrusive and engaged us with her infectious energy and lovely demeanor. What truly set her apart, though, was the thoughtfulness she demonstrated at the end of the evening. As a token of kindness and to mark our last night in New York, Maria surprised us with a small, heartfelt gift. It was an incredibly touching gesture that we will treasure for years to come. La Grande Boucherie’s enchanting ambiance and delicious cuisine were unforgettable on their own, but it was Maria’s exceptional service that elevated the entire experience. Her warmth, charm, and thoughtfulness left a lasting impression and made our evening truly special

    We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

    The Pasta Making Experience was dope! Definitely recommend going with friends or making a dinner date out of it. My only piece of advice? Come HUNGRY. The prix fixe course to reward all your hard work is delicious. ¡La Pasta Making Experience fue fenomenal! Al 100% te lo recomiendo si vas con amigos o para una cita nocturna. Como consejo, vengan con HAMBRE. Los platos prix fixe era buenísimos y dan buena porciones.
