• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 112 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.

    Had a wonderful work-team lunch. Our server Dorji was very attentive and made sure we were able to get out on time without missing a course. Really delicious and affordable lunch prix fixe, and the ambiance of the restaurant is like visiting a French salon in the middle of Midtown. Highly recommend for a break from the hustle of the city.

    Food and service were excellent. The jalepeno bacon is unique and a perfect blend of sweet and spicey. Dry aged porterhouse is a great size for two and was cooked to perfection with a nice seared crust. Each side was incredible, my favorite was the crispy potatos and gnocchi.

    Absolutely exceptional! Both the service and the food were genuinely impressive. This marks my third visit in just a month, and I can confidently say that Twin Tails has truly become a gem in my dining restaurant. The dorade sashimi was fantastic, and the escargot never disappoints. Tonight, the cho lon duck was the standout dish for me. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you Jaree and Her server support. I don’t know her name. she was very nice and polite. I can't wait to come back again. I highly recommend it to anyone.
