Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 29 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.

    Fabulous experience & Excellent service/ambience. From the moment we got seated, all staff and Sophia specifically made us feel very welcome and ensured we understood the vegetarian variations of the delicacies. Absolutely loved the truffle pizza and the tiramisu and had to order a second one before the night got over. Will definitely recommend and revisit ourselves.

    The fried squash blossoms were unbelievable, so make sure you ask what’s good on the specials. Ask for the Ragu sauce, it is in a class all by itself, making the pasta dishes stand out. They have wonderful wines by the glass if you don’t want one of the great bottles on the well chosen list.
