Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 26 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.

    Made reservations for Thanksgiving!! They did not disappoint. This restaurant is beautiful inside and the food and service were outstanding. Exactly what I wanted for our family away from home on Thanksgiving. A big thanks to management and staff for our menu accommodations and for an excellent dining experience! Will be returning on our next trip to NYC to try the steak.(the Thanksgiving menu does have steak options on it but I ordered the turkey…. FYI)

    This is the second time I’ve eaten at Blue Mezze. The $59 Thanksgiving special was a great deal for my friend and me! The appetizers are delicious; red lentil soup, Greek salad, and babaganoush. The turkey was unconventional for Thanksgiving. It was sort of mixed in with rice, but very tasty. The dessert of cold baklava is also unconventional, but delish! The special also included a glass of wine or beer. The menu may not appeal to everyone for Thanksgiving, but if you’re willing to try something a little different, it’s great value for the money. Service is friendly and efficient.

    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!
