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.

What a delight -- from the warm welcome we got on arrival, to super-attentive and knowledgeable service, to delicious food. The bread was so fresh and tasty, it didn't need the butter provided; the drinks were delectable, and everyone's entrees -- steak to salad to gnocchi -- were perfect. Top that off with the sticky pudding split among the four of us, just the capper we needed.

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Sandro’s. The food was extremely delicious and the service was courteous and efficient. The restaurant is small and the noise level increased as the restaurant got busier, but everyone seemed happy to be there and having a convivial time. All in all, it was a treat and we look forward to returning.

The pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!
