We require a $10 per person non-refundable deposit. The entire experience is approximately 2.5 hours.

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.

    Amazing experience for anyone who’s gluten-free! The food was delicious, and I really appreciated how accommodating they were. Our server was so kind and polite they truly went above and beyond to make my friend’s birthday special with their genuine warmth and thoughtful service. Compliments to both the chef and our server for creating such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our night so memorable!
