• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 23 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.

    Must try the bacon with peanut butter butter. It was was a family favorite. The crust on the steaks were perfect and made this place one of our top steak restaurants in NYC. Also, the sides were all GREAT (highly recommend the table side cheese for steaks, corn brûlée, Brussels (crispy). Everything was delicious!

    Love me some Bad Roman. Our service was terrific. My cousin and I hadn’t seen each other in years/ our server made no attempt to hurry us along. He was attentive but not intrusive. Food is delicious- creative. Nice wine selection.

    Burger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.
