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.

    Food and service were outstanding. Had a red snapper dish for two that was superb. As in many NYC restaurants, tables are very close, and hard to have private conversation. Door when open caused a cold draft at our table. Nonetheless, would definitely return.

    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    Great lunch today…..beautiful presentation and delicious. Yellowtail tuna, Roasted and glazed duck breast and a Hazelnut/chocolate cake. Portions were large enough that two of us shared the meal. Our server Michael is warm and friendly. Always happy to see him.

    A perfect spot for a sophisticated, informal dinner. The chopped salads and brick oven pizzas work well together. Food preparation is consistently light and healthy. You can count on any dish ordered to be successful and delicious. Tables are spaced close together but this is nyc afterall.
