• Contemporary Italian • Upper East Side

Booked 33 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.

Fantastic and charismatic staff that were more than attentive. Unlike any omakase tasting menu I’ve ever been to. I loved the Thai infusion with traditional Japanese flavors. Definitely would suggest coming if it’s a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary as they made us feel extra special. 10/10

Love Neir's Tavern! Wise Guys Trivia is great! It's totally different from any trivia you've ever done and the questions range from "Everyone knows that!" to "Who the heck knows that?!?!" allowing all participants and equal chance. It's not geared toward any particular age group either. At any given Trivia night, you'll find people from their early 20's to their 60's playing. Oh, and there are prizes along the way, too leading to final prizes of Neir's gift cards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. I never miss Trivia! I highly recommend you make a reservation for the next Wise Guys Trivia night!
