• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 22 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.

    We have repeatedly patronized Hawksmoor NYC. Most recently, our family celebrated Thanksgiving at Hawksmoor NYC. Most of us chose the $75 holiday special Prime Rib dinner , with roasted potatoes, carrots and garlic and Yorkshire pudding. Every element of the meal was delicious, with splendid presentation. Our server was Andrea. She is kind and competent. She, along with the previous team members, is deeply familiar with the ingredients and preparation techniques of the menu items.

    Excellent service, good, price , selection. I do however wish they had better and more value on by the glass wine. However cocktails do make up for it. Meat can be a bit less salted, however the quality of food is excellent caliber. Can’t wait to visit once again.
