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.

I hosted my company Xmas dinner here last night for my employees. Glad they were able to accommodate all 12 of us. We did the Tasting Menu Iv. It was enough food/portions to go around for all of us the staff was amazing & they catered to us. More importantly the food was on point. I’ve been here multiple times but this time my employees got to experience & enjoy this top notch dinner.

Such a fun experience! The pasta class was very beginner friendly. The instructor was patient, checked in on everyone, & loud enough to hear. Our group was huge & took up the entire length of the table. Afterwards, our food was great. Super generous portions, friendly service. I would come back & do it again with a friend it was that good. Highly recommend!

Awesome atmosphere, great food, and the staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Khalid during tea service and Lauren at the bar who made one of the best ever holiday specialty drinks, the “Holiday Spirt”. The doorman was especially helpful while hailing a cab and assisting with our holiday shopping bags.
