- LLexiChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI highly recommend Aunt Jake’s Pasta making class!! It was a great experience, and I can honestly say I feel confident to make pasta now. There are many class options, but I recommend being the first class (5pm) because you get the restaurant to yourself, creating a more personable experience. The staff could not be friendlier, and they do an incredible job!! On top of all of that - the food was delicious :)More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
