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.

My first visit to La Grande Boucherie was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly, wished me a happy birthday, and escorted us to a gorgeous balcony table with a stunning view of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were nothing short of spectacular. To start, we enjoyed the wagyu carpaccio and French onion soup (both were exceptional). For our entrées, we ordered the Filet De Boeuf and the Boucherie Burger, each cooked to perfection. To top off the evening, we got crème brûlée, complete with a candle to celebrate my birthday. The thoughtful details and incredible dining experience made this a night to remember! :)

Food delicious and service excellent. Been here twice now and both were great. It is expensive and when it gets crowded the noise level can get high but overall a great neighborhood place!
