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.

We were celebrating a birthday. Asked for something special but the only extra provided was a menu that said happy birthday. The restaurant manager went around to many tables but only passed by us and never checked in. The appetizers were great but the entre, a porterhouse for two, was not that good. The steak had a bacon taste, something I have never experienced with a porterhouse steak at any steakhouse. The service was a bit slow and I only had my waitress attending to us although she mentioned having a partner that never materialized. I have been to Morton’s various times and have never had a great experience.

Great taste, great presentation, good portion, excellent service - dine here for all that. Acknowledged a birthday celebration with complimentary dessert, candle and sing along. Vast menu so certainly something for everyone’s taste. Beautiful dining area but their take out does not disappoint either. We love either options.

First time there and was not disappointed! Staff was friendly and attentive! The food was outstanding in both preparation and in service. While the bar area was noisy (crowded, always a good sign), we didn’t experience noise issues as the dining room is separated by a full wall which blocked out nearly all of the sound. Highly recommended if you love Cajun food!
