Price: Moderate
• 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.

    The pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!

    OverallI had a good experience at Blend. They are very organize and the staff is attentive. They do emphasize the 90min seating rule since that was one of the first things our waitress told us when we ordered our food. The food itself was ok. Didn't appreciate the small portions though, the taste was good ..Not great. At least the plater I had which was the crispy chicken with avocado salad. My husband had the pernil which tasted soo good! And For starters , The PIONONOS is a must!!
