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!

    Pasta making class was fun! The instructor gave clear instructions and was able to answer questions easily. The prixe fixe that is included was top notch! I am 100% positive that you can’t get a deal like this ANYWHERE in the city! Keep it up Aunt Jake. Manhattan and its surroundings are lucky to have you.

    So much fun learning to make different styles of pasta. The table was a bit tight as there were many people but it was a fun experience. The food after had great portion sizes and lots of flavor. Would recommend to others.

    Took the 3PM class. The food was great. However, the actual pasta making experience was rushed - both in how it felt as well as the literal amount of time spent learning how to make pasta. That portion of the class was only 45 minutes, with the overall time spent at Aunt Jakes being 2 hours and 15 minutes. Parties of 4 or more will be charged an automatic gratuity despite the service being uniform with the smaller groups. While I enjoyed the experience as a whole, it is not something I would redo or recommend for a date night due to pacing being rushed.

    Fantastic experience for the pasta making class, and really lovely meal afterwards! Great for date night and looking forward to a girls night here for the class again! I recommend the last class of the night, because otherwise you are listening to the class after you while you try to eat. Wouldn’t be awful but just a heads up! We loved Anthony’s humor and the sangria was fantastic in the bottomless drink package. Book it, and enjoy!

    I really had a great time the Chef who was directing us was the best. He interacted with everyone and made it a great experience. I really enjoyed my time. The food was delicious. The wait time as fair. I would recommend this place to people who enjoy new activities and interacting with others.
