- JJackieNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great time learning how to make dough, creating different pasta shapes, and then enjoyed a 3 course meal! We left with tons of pasta to make in the future which was an extra bonus. My suggestions would be to provide a handout of all the information discussed in class and to offer a 2.0 class teaching you how to make different sauces! Thanks for such a fun date night activity!! We will be back!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9

The noise level was quite high at one point but not much can be done about that. The lasagna that we ordered was not quite hot enough and was too tall to eat comfortably but that was not a big deal. The salad the shrimp and the flatbread were excellent.More infoWater & WheatPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper East Side•4.7
