Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Midtown East

I purchased the pasta making experience as part of my fiancé’s Christmas present. He loves good fresh Italian food and Aunt Jake’s did not disappoint. The food was amazing the class was very explanatory and easy to follow. This is an exceptional value. I will say the only down side is that the space to work and learn is a little tight but hey most places in NYC are. If you are looking for delicious pasta and an amazing experience Aunt Jake’s is for you!

I’ve never had a restaurant give me such a constantly phenomenal experience until I dined at tán. From the start, we were greeted by Camila, who did an incredible job accommodating our party from the first phone call to confirm, all the way until we were all seated. The ambiance in the restaurant makes you feel like you’re on vacation in Tulum- it’s so beautiful inside. Ethan, our server, was incredibly personable and recommended incredible drinks—mocktails included— and his food recommendations were spot on. He even gave kudos to Fernanda, the pastry chef (we all did, as dessert was literal perfection- please try the corn cake). The manager, Emilio, was the cherry on top of the evening. Welcoming, warm, informative- and checked in multiple times through the evening, ultimately ensuring that the birthday guest had the most incredible time, which was certainly the case. He even gave us a mini-tour on the way out of the restaurant at the end of the evening. The whole party is convinced that the best front of house staff in the entire tri-state area were hand-selected, rounded up, and all placed in tán restaurant. Well done xoxo we’ll absolutely be back soon

This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Good was great. Service was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. The Maitre D’ was extremely kind as well as our server and everyone else involved. The lamb pita was divine. Such a lovely spot.

This was our first time at the new location, and it was stunning! The food was as delicious as always, and our server was fantastic. But unfortunately, she had to leave as we were finishing dinner. We would have loved to meet the server who would be taking over since we were done with our dessert and waiting for someone to come over. Romina helped us with our coats as we left, and I took a moment to ask about the space upstairs. She was so kind and gave us a quick tour. Even though we had a great time, Armani will still be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC.
