• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 31 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.

    We were visiting from out of state and had a friend from Europe visiting with us. We had prompt service, our server was attentive and everyone was friendly, the entrees were delicious. The option for the smaller portions on some items is appreciated. The portion size ordered was just right for everyone as we don’t like overeating or wasting food. The Smith has become one of our favorite restaurants to start our day when visiting. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with necessities. The photo booth is the best and has become tradition to visit prior to departing!

    We decided to go to here for Christmas dinner. As an Italian I am super picky about Italian food. I went off of the reviews and I am happy to say this place exceeded my expectations!!!!! The Calamari was amazing, drinks were great and the service was just as amazing as the food. I would highly suggest going here.

    We loved our experience at Joanne! They have long been a favorite for a nice meal near Lincoln Center with good gluten free options for my family members with celiac. This time, we also learned they have a nut free kitchen, which was wonderful for another member of our party with a severe nut allergy. The servers were very kind and the live music on the patio was lovely—festive but not too loud. Everyone had a delicious, warm, winter dinner before our show and we'll be back!
