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.

The whole experience was really good. The food was fantastic, our waitress Andrea made us feel comfortable and attended us well. Really appreciate how Blend treated my girlfriend on her birthday. Only thing just didn’t like was the group that was behind us, act very immature and we just wish we could have sat next to each other not in front of one another.

The Pasta Making Experience was dope! Definitely recommend going with friends or making a dinner date out of it. My only piece of advice? Come HUNGRY. The prix fixe course to reward all your hard work is delicious. ¡La Pasta Making Experience fue fenomenal! Al 100% te lo recomiendo si vas con amigos o para una cita nocturna. Como consejo, vengan con HAMBRE. Los platos prix fixe era buenísimos y dan buena porciones.

We love Mr. Chow. The food is the best Chinese food we've ever eaten. Our favorite items include the Peking Duck, Green Prawns with Cashews, Velvet Chicken, Chicken Sauté, Gambei, and Diced Chicken on a Lettuce Leaf. Last night we introduced a sommelier to Chow's. She complimented the server who poured the wine beautifully.
