Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 31 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.

    Twin Tails was a very pleasant surprise! It was an experience from the moment we entered to our exit. A very welcoming host-person table, lovely decor, great view, interesting music playlist not to loud, friendly informative waiters. And our dishes were 8 out of 9 excellent. The one so so dish, a tuna tartar spin would have been excellent at a lesser restaurant. The salads were especially stand-outs, combining herbs and greens and sweet and tangy.

    We decided to not cook this Thanksgiving and booked the Bad Roman - it was fabulous. We were greeted at the entrance by a super friendly and efficient host and hostess. Some of our party had the turkey which was better than mine for sure! . The rest of us had sole which was delicious! And the best Cesar salad in NYC. The wines were amazing and good value - recommended by their Sommelier Roosevelt. Gregory the bartender kicked the night off with brilliant cocktails and a nice pour of champagne! All in all a wonderful Thanksgiving feast. All in all well run, friendly service and delicious food.
