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.

    Made reservations for Thanksgiving!! They did not disappoint. This restaurant is beautiful inside and the food and service were outstanding. Exactly what I wanted for our family away from home on Thanksgiving. A big thanks to management and staff for our menu accommodations and for an excellent dining experience! Will be returning on our next trip to NYC to try the steak.(the Thanksgiving menu does have steak options on it but I ordered the turkey…. FYI)

    We LOVED our dinner last night, Thanksgiving. The food was great, the service terrific (didn't get her name, but a swell Latina was our server). And we had a New York experience. A middle aged couple was celebrating her birthday so they had a chocolate cake. They only wanted a slice or two, so they gave it to the mother & son from Santa Fe next to us. They had to rush to a show, so they gave it to us. We only wanted a slide, too, so we shared it with a young lady and grandmother (who was having a birthday with sherbet and a candle!). So the cake pleased FOUR tables at your restaurant! This has happened to us several times now, usually in NYC, but also in Florence and Rome! Thanks for a great evening. John-Charles Kelly

    Well, I made last minute changes in my party size. Those people know what service is. Hostesses were incredible, made the impossible to sit us. Servers (Luis & Francisco) took care of our starving kids with so much love. That's why it is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. At any location they have an incredible culture of service. If I say thank you, I am short. Blessings and happy holidays.
