• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 41 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.

    Absolutely exceptional! Both the service and the food were genuinely impressive. This marks my third visit in just a month, and I can confidently say that Twin Tails has truly become a gem in my dining restaurant. The dorade sashimi was fantastic, and the escargot never disappoints. Tonight, the cho lon duck was the standout dish for me. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you Jaree and Her server support. I don’t know her name. she was very nice and polite. I can't wait to come back again. I highly recommend it to anyone.

    Fantastic meal all around! The service was excellent and the reservation process was seamless. We arrived a few minutes late and it was no problem. Caccio e Pepe was amazing as well as the filet mignon meatballs. The corn crème brûlée was a fun experience and yummy! Everything we tried was delicious— we will be back!

    We had the most amazing time at Aunt Jake's Pasta Making Experience. From the moment we arrived, I just knew it was going to be fun! The chef who taught us about pasta was funny yet informative; the atmosphere was cozy; the staff was friendly and attentive; and the food was delicious. The process was easy to understand and very well organized. What a great date and a wonderful way to start the new year. Highly highly highly recommend! :)
