• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 48 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.

    Italian family style restaurant, very large dishes - we ordered 1 dish for 4. Delicious food with a cozy atmosphere. Polite service, a little bit slow, but in Italy is much more slower. Great place! Would absolutely return.

    We may have gotten lucky because we went to Rock Center and had a reservation New Years Day. But our party of 6 was sat immediately upon checking in even though restaurant was busy. Good menu choices. Waiter attentive enough. Gave water right away but took awhile to come back to take order. Food came prompt, portions were good size and mostly delicious. Drink special was delightful and nice size. Def enjoyed our time there!

    We had the most amazing time at Aunt Jake's Pasta Making Experience. From the moment we arrived, I just knew it was going to be fun! The chef who taught us about pasta was funny yet informative; the atmosphere was cozy; the staff was friendly and attentive; and the food was delicious. The process was easy to understand and very well organized. What a great date and a wonderful way to start the new year. Highly highly highly recommend! :)
