The menu is very creative with something for everyone. I thought the apps and entres were fairly priced and the portion size ample. I had the octopus appetizer and was a little disappointed with how many legs were served. For entre, the Chicken Scarp was excellent with a good blend of sausage, chicken and peppers. It does seem odd to me that in a suburban quiet town like Ardsley, the bottle of wine prices started at $53. There was nothing special about our chardonnay.

Went here for a friend’s catch up and unexpectedly surprised by how good the food was. The place is cozy and the staff was very kind and not pushy or rushing us. The staff had great recommendations when we were trying to figure out what to order. For someone who has been in the neighborhood for almost a decade I wish I had gone so much sooner than tonight. Such a gem of a find.

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!
