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 enjoyed every aspect of our time! Our waiter was fun., solicitous and never rushed us. The food was delicious and a good value. It's no wonder that we were surrounded by repeat customers, who waxed poetic about the restaurant.

    Loved our server - made my date special and was pretty funny. I ate the paper to the duck for two thinking it was rice paper and not questioning it at all - choking it down with a smile on my face.

    A wonderful tapas experience with delicious ingredients some new and some standards. Service was great as was the wine selection. Our table expensed a little too much volume from the music in the speaker but this was but a small blemish in in otherwise outstanding dinner.
