Exceptional(1068)
Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side
Booked 40 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.

    Our primary server, Alex, was excellent; approaching the table with perfect timing, offering helpful information as needed and enhancing our dining experience with utmost charm and competence. and all the service was beautifully coordinated. The food was extraordinary; I was very surprised and absolutely delighted by how delicious and zesty the Mozzarella Di Buffalo Campania was, and my guests complimented the Riso Al Salto and Grilled Octopus Antipasti. The Lasagna with its many layers was the standout as a Primi . I regretted that I ordered the Veal Milanese as a Secondi - once I had tasted the Duck Breast. The desserts were all delicious. All my guests were of Italian descent and loved the cheesecake; this never happens that a cheesecake passes muster with all so I must commend the pastry chef! I chose the chocolate caramel tart as my dessert - and swooned. The ambience in the upstairs dining room was wonderful; like an extension of our home in the Village - with the windows ajar, inviting in the early spring breeze. This was a very lovely and delightful dining experience with nothing amiss and no disappointments.
