Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 93 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.

    Amazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.

    Such a fun experience! The pasta class was very beginner friendly. The instructor was patient, checked in on everyone, & loud enough to hear. Our group was huge & took up the entire length of the table. Afterwards, our food was great. Super generous portions, friendly service. I would come back & do it again with a friend it was that good. Highly recommend!

    Great experience once again. Was seated right away though my guest was 5 min late. Thanks...it's important to me not to have to wait in the corridor for a "full party." Had the steak frites lunch which was excellent. We shared the lobster mac and cheese...delicious...cocktails were amazing as usual. Service was A+ Love that room! I will be back. I had a great time with my date. Thank you!!!!!
