Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Carlstadt

My friends and I recently attended an amazing pasta-making class at Aunt Jake’s with the incredible Chef Anthony, and it was such a fun and memorable experience! Chef Anthony not only taught us how to make pasta from scratch but also kept the whole class laughing throughout. His humor was the perfect touch, making the learning process even more enjoyable. He had everyone smiling as he shared tips, tricks, and a few hilarious stories from his time in the kitchen. The hands-on part of the class was a blast! We learned how to make pasta dough, roll it out, and shape it into beautiful creations. Chef Anthony’s clear instructions and funny anecdotes made it feel effortless, even for us beginners. We also ordered separate dishes, which were delicious, and got to take home the pasta we made to cook later. The pasta, drinks, and dessert we enjoyed at the end of the class were the perfect reward for all our hard work. The warm, welcoming atmosphere at Aunt Jake’s, combined with Chef Anthony’s lively personality, created an unforgettable evening. If you’re looking for a fun night out that’s both entertaining and educational, I can’t recommend this class enough. Chef Anthony’s humor and expert guidance made the experience even more enjoyable.

We had previously been to the location in DC so we had high expectations and they were partially met! If you go try the whole fish, and celebration rice but skip the kebabs, the value is not quite there for the portion size. The Turkish coffee is excellent, and the staff was kind and caring to check up on us several times to ensure we were having a good experience which we really appreciated. Additionally, we were celebrating a birthday and they surprised us with candle in our dessert which again we thought was very sweet. Our guests from out of town loved the ambience and they are extremely picky. Thank you.

Wonderful restaurant for an authentic Italian experience! The pasta was perfect! We tried the order of a trio of 3 pastas and were not disappointed. Other offerings ordered by a member of our group were also deemed delicious. The wine selection was also great. Service was excellent!

Our waiter Juan was great and always very attentive! Loved the food! We will definitely be back. 😋

Married to an Italian who missed grandma’s feast of the seven fishes. Finally found a restaurant close to home that served it on Christmas Eve and it did not disappoint! 10/10 absolutely amazing! While a 3 hour dinner isn’t for everyone, it’s truly an experience! Service was outstanding, food was incredible, overall fantastic! Will definitely be back before next Christmas. Sarah was perfect! And the 2 managers we interacted with (by choice to share the positive) were so hospitable. Great job by all!
