• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 32 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 food was SO good but the service was horrendous. Our server didn’t check on us a single time when we were there for an hour and a half. Our appetizer didn’t show up (but it was on the bill), and they forgot about my husband’s entree so he sat without food for 10 minutes. The food took 30-40 minutes to come out which would have been ok had the appetizer not gone forgotten and had we all had entrees. If the food wasn’t so good we would never go back, but I’d try it again and hope the service improved. The French dip was insanely good! I hope they get it together because midtown could use this place.
