• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 4 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.

    The pasta making class was an absolute blast, especially with Anthony as the teacher. It was great to have him as a guide through the class and he always kept it entertaining with his jokes and banter. The pasta class + dinner deal is such a steal, food was great and vibes were high. Highly recommend for a fun date night or booking with a group of friends!

    This was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.
