Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 55 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.

    I love good and seasoned food. The joloff rice was excellent and the fish was very tasty. This was my first time there and I spoke to the manager and reiterated how good the food was. The service was excellent and I don’t mind tipping, but I didn’t like the fact that I was billed 20 percent. Restaurants cannot assume we received top notch service. Sometimes no tip or a low tip would incentivize their workers to do better. Overall I will definitely return because the food was that good.

    Wonderful dinner and entertaining experience! The food was outstanding, especially the waygu beef entree. My daughter said it was one it was the best beef she has ever had! The chef was quite entertaining and kept my young guest amazed. I have been to several Benihana restaurants in a few cities: this is one of the best. The meal was a bit expensive…but it is New York city, so that is to be expected.
