–

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.

Poor service, we had to ask for water 3x before the waiter remembered to bring it. The 3 course dinner afterwards took way longer than a normal restaurant would, despite having our orders in for over an hour beforehand.

My friend and I had such a fun experience. We learned how to make different pasta shapes and were able to take our creations home all for about $70 each (no drinks purchased). Fun date, girls day, family day out in the city.
