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.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was great in particular the gnocchi which is probably the best I've eaten outside of Italy. I highly recommend it. Max is going onto our frequent rotation list.

    First time to Bar Contra and it was incredible. We love a bar program where everything is dialed in and offers some surprises-this did it and then some. Food was excellent and the service from Theo and crew was genuine and friendly. We will be back.

    Me and my partner had a phenomenal meal and drinks! We both shared the hummus with pita which tasted freshly baked which was outstanding. Then we both ordered pastas, him getting the rigatoni which he was thoroughly impressed with! I ordered the gnocchi which had a light tomato sauce with porcini mushrooms and sausage, and it was also incredible. The gnocchi itself was smaller than usual which I liked a lot, and didn’t feel super stuffed afterwards which was a plus. We also had drinks which were reasonably priced , very much recommend the espresso martini. It was great.
