• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 34 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.

    I was really impressed by the decor and the overall vibe. It’s such a beautiful and well-thought-out space. The staff was incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to our waitress, Sam, who was very helpful and polite. Also, a big thank you to the hostess and manager for greeting us so nicely and even gifting us a lovely chocolate box for our Valentine’s Day dinner. From the ambiance to the food, everything was top-notch. The dishes were flavorful and reasonably priced and the drinks were just as amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends for dinner! My only suggestion would be to expand the menu a bit, having a few more food options and more than just three desserts would be great. But other than that, everything was impeccable and totally Instagrammable. Every single detail in that place is worth a picture! One small note: the address on Google and Instagram should be updated to 325 instead of 321 to avoid any confusion. Wishing you all much success and I can’t wait to visit again!
