• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 48 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.

    One of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to outside of Peru. Super fresh ingredients, great flavors, and superb presentation. The ceviche mixto was delicious and very fresh (they use mahi mahi rather than the"garbage of the sea" tilapia.) The chicha morada was not from a mix and was so fresh I could taste the maize. Appetizers and desserts (in particular the picarones) were fantastic. A little pricey, but you are paying for exceptional quality.

    What a pleasant surprise! This is a small unassuming store front that is an absolute treasure. The menu is broad enough to accommodate any diner and really delicious! The hostess is the server and bus person. I had the oxtail entree and it was tender with a wonderful sauce, rice and beans. Skip the beans, put the rice in the sauce and love it! The calamari appetizer was tender and spicy. The guava dulce con Leche was very sweet. Portions were ample and the price was fair. I'll be back!!
