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.

Shrimp cocktail was amazing, with some of the sweetest prawns I had this season. The fries were good, as reviewed by others and you should try the creamed kale too. We enjoyed the appetisers so much that we ended up not ordering any mains. Service was impeccable as well. I would highly recommend Monterey as a must try when in New York!

Had a great lunch before seeing a show next door. Milon, the new owner, came over and introduced himself to us - a great rags to riches story. We are glad we chose this spot for our pre-theater lunch. - JB
