Enoteca Harlem was born from a journey to the Basque Country, where I discovered the deep-rooted tradition and importance of family meals, and the vibrant culture of sharing tapas over a good glass of wine in the heart of San SebastiánThe calmness of the coastal life, the scent of the sea breeze sweeping over the vineyards, and the joy of savoring fresh, local ingredients are all part of what makes the Basque culinary tradition so special. At Enoteca, we aim to bring that experience to life—a little slice of the Basque Country where you can be transported to another place and celebrate the art of sharing tapas.

• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side

Booked 24 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.
