Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 98 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.

Driven by the spirit of the Irish Playwright, our bar pays homage to his genuinely prolific story. Oscar Wilde turns the Victorian Era on its head. Without relinquishing any of its glamour. Just like Wilde himself, we believe life should be lived to its fullest, with a touch of sophisticated debauchery. Why miss out on the fun?

    Can I just say wow! What a fun way to spend the evening. I signed up for the pasta making experience with my husband to mix up the normal dinner and a movie routine. I was a little worried he wouldn’t enjoy it but figured it was worth a try. Let me tell you, we had a blast. Anthony kept the entire group engaged and laughing, the music was fun, the energy was great I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My husband even successfully made some pasta! Anthony, Micah and the whole crew at Aunt Jake’s were amazing and made you feel like family. In addition to the pasta experience the food was AMAZING! We both ordered different meals to try as much from the menu as possible and literally everything was fantastic. I absolutely want to bring some friends and even our teens to do this with us again. 10/10 recommend booking this experience!
