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.

Anthony our pasta instructor was awesome! He kept the class fun and engaging. We had a great time learning to make the pasta. After the class, we had dinner and the food was amazing as well. I highly recommend this experience!

Our table wasn’t ready for about 25 minutes past the reservation time and our group of 7 were getting a bit frustrated. The restaurant made it up to us with complimentary Prosecco and appetizers, which we all really appreciated. Because of this amazing customer service and the great food, we will absolutely be back. Thank you!

Cecily comes to join a bunch of new excelent restaurants along Franklin/Greenpoint. A little pricey and nice welcoming service -slightly slow at the beginning, but very nice- it arguably serves the most refined, elegant and delicious fare in the neigborough. The menu is rather short but everything was just perfect, masterfully elaborated. Great Wine list but one regrets the lack of some good, more affordable wines. Definitely worth the experience.

It was dinner to meet my boyfriends family and we all had a great time. I've been there a few times in the past and I always leave happy and satisfied. The service last night was kind and attentive and the food delicious and got to the table on a smooth pace. Thank you so much for all the attentions and the complimentary dessert!
