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.

    Exceeded our expectations. We chose to experience this iconic restaurant with our son to celebrate a special occasion, but the experience was more than anticipated. Service was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was delicious, perfectly executed and served with excellent timing. Manager checks table side, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, STILL a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth its pedigree of long term respect. Not just a tourist attraction…definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting a special dining experience in a lovely setting.
