Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 30 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.

    Aunt Jake's Pasta Making Experience – A Must-Try! We had the absolute best time at Aunt Jake’s for their pasta-making experience! From start to finish, the night was a mix of laughter, learning, and of course, delicious food. Anthony, our instructor, was nothing short of amazing! His energy was contagious, and he made the whole process feel effortless. He had us kneading, rolling, and shaping dough like pros in no time. Anthony’s patience and passion for pasta truly set the tone for the evening. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or can barely boil water, he made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. He had this way of blending humor with technique, so while we were creating these perfect little pasta shapes, we were also cracking up at his stories and tips. When we finally got to taste the creations? Pure heaven. Fresh, flavorful, and made even better knowing we crafted it ourselves. If you're looking for a unique, hands-on experience that leaves you full and smiling, Aunt Jake's is the place to be. And if you’re lucky enough to have Anthony as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. I’m already planning my next visit!

    I enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.

    If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended
