Upon our arrival, we found parking right in front. It was three of us who joined each other for this wonderful experience. We made friends with the people right next to us. I love that they take your order first before you go through the experience of making the pasta and at the end your food is ready. Everything is delicious. Drinks were great and so was the company. The instructors were wonderful and the server was accommodating one of my friends did not like her drink, and they happily made it to her liking. I would come here again great for a date night or time out with friends.
My mom and I took Aunt Jake's pasta making class & it was such an amazing experience! It was both of our first time ever making pasta from scratch and they made it so fun and easy to follow. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was patient & engaging & the whole night felt special. The drinks were strong (in the best way) & delicious. The appetizers were incredible & sitting down to eat the pasta dishes made it even better. Such a fun and unique night out! highly recommend for a date night, girls' night, or family experience!
Aunt Jake's was a great experience to learn how to make pasta and fun event to do with some friends or date night. You get to bring the pasta home and enjoy a delicious meal.
Came here for the pasta making class and was sooo blown away with the experience. The instructor was so funny and unforgettable and the whole experience was so easy and fun. The food after was crazy good too. Looove their hot honey burrata. Perfect for solo dates
Aunt Jake's on the Upper East Side is an Italian restaurant offering pasta making classes and a three course meal for a cool $60 per person. This is the best value cooking class we've done in NYC. You start off by making four different fresh pasta shapes (farfalle, garganelli, pappardelle, and spaghettini) that you package up to take home with you. You then enjoy a delicious three course meal. We went for the Caesar salad and meatballs for our starter, rigatoni allá vodka and garlic pecorino spaghettini for entrees and finished with the brownie sundae and doughnuts with salted caramel sauce. All of the food was hearty and comforting. We love places where you're able to customize your pasta and sauce and found both of our pastas to be delicious. The vodka sauce and both desserts were highlights. We think for $60, this class value can't be beat. The large portions and the generous amount of fresh pasta make this class well worth the money
Aunt Jake's pasta class here is so fun! I've done the class twice with work and each time I left so full and with plenty of pasta. With the group class we had about an hour of pasta making where you take home four cuts of pasta plus a all of fresh dough to roll out at home, then a preset dinner. Their white chicken bolognese and calamari were incredible, would definitely order those again!
Went with a group of four for the pasta-making class. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were asked to wait outside which was rough since it was freezing. A few others arrived early and gathered around, we all bonded over our shared discomfort of standing in the cold. We were let in right at our scheduled class time. Once inside, it was clear how small and intimate the space is. There's really only room for the class itself. It genuinely felt like being in an Italian kitchen. The class is held around one long table, probably accommodating about 14-20 people. You're given an apron and a drink, and then the class begins. You spend about an hour making several different types of pasta, which are boxed up for you to cook at home later. Afterward, you move to a small dining area where they serve the meal you selected upon arrival. Everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned across the board. I still dream about that lasagna. The Caesar salad was dressed just right, and the donuts were served hot: crisp on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. Overall, this was such an awesome fun and memorable experience.
Aunt Jake's was such a fun pasta making experience to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday! We were a group of 8 among others in the class. Our instructor did a great job of walking us through the dough making process, coming to check on everyone throughout. We learned to make dough and were given separate rolled out sheets to practice making different pasta shapes. We opted for the bottomless wine/sangria option to drink throughout the experience. After making pasta, we sat down for a 3 course lunch, which was delicious. Such a fun way for us to kick off the day! I'd recommend this to anyone in the city or even those visiting like we did. We couldn't travel with the pasta, so luckily we were able to cook and test it at our Airbnb.
This has made it to one of my top favorite things to do in New York City! It's been on my list for a couple years, but I finally made a reservation recently to do a pasta making class on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It started at 12:30, and once we all got in to the restaurant, we were at this super long and wide table with about maybe other 15 people in the class. There are hooks for your belongings, and aprons for everyone to wear. Carmine was our instructor and he was incredible. The pasta making itself took maybe an hour and a half, and we learned how to make four pasta shapes, including farfalle, garganelle, pappardelle and tagliatelle. We also took home a ball of pasta dough we made which could be used for making more pasta shapes. After we were done, we sat down at our dining table and enjoyed a three course meal. This was such an incredible value for $60, not to mention the portions of all of the food were huge. I ordered mussels for my appetizers, as well as a butternut squash risotto for my main, and then an ice cream sundae for dessert. We also got complementary focaccia bread for the table, and I ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir for the table. We were done eating close to 3:45pm. I would highly recommend coming here for a date idea, or with friends!
We had so much fun making handmade pasta here! $60 includes appetizer, main course and dessert, which is valuable. Recommend Shrimp Scampi and risotto for main dish! Mussels and calamari for appetizers
I did the pasta making experience with my partner and it was a lot of fun! You get to make your own pasta dough and really get a good arm work out. Because the dough needs time to sit, they give pre made pasta sheets to make 3 different pasta shapes to make pasta at home! 5/5 for a cute and affordable date night. The servers were nice and helpful. There was cute seating and they also allow for groups to have family style dinner. The class also comes with 3 course meal. The meal was disappointing in terms of taste. The hot honey burrata was okay but a lot of the food tasted like grocery store ingredients. The eggplant parm has no taste outside of cheese. The spicy vodka sauce pasta was alright. Sauce tasted like grocery store bought jarred sauce. The doughnuts were fresh and the highlight. The brownie sundae tastes like Breyer's ice cream with brownie bites (which were cold) from Costco. I'd rate the food 2.5-3/5 as average (probably have more taste at Olive Garden). Overall 4/5 due to the pasta making experience and great service in addition to affordability.
The FOOD was amazing! And it was a really fun and cute spot to celebrate a birthday in the pasta making class. Would love to return.
Visited the restaurant for a friend's birthday event. We were a group of 12. We were seated on time and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We sat down and ordered our drinks. Thereafter we moved to the main table (standing) where an instructor (ex- marine with a great ability to project his voice and tell jokes) guided us through the pasta-making class. I thought we would eat the pasta we made, but we did not. Instead, you take that home and receive instructions on how to make it. Unfortunately, I forgot about the pasta in my fridge and I had to toss it out as a result. I know, a shame. Moving on . . . The food was made in house and was served family style and it was plentiful. The birthday girl even took some leftovers home. As my drink I ordered a rose sangria and it was very good! This is a cute restaurant and the activity made it even better. Food is great and so is service. Overall, 5/5! Stop in!
Came here on a saturday with a reservation at 5 PM, and had such a great experience! When we walked in, we were given aprons and menus. We ordered our dinner before starting our pasta making class. There is also an option to order drinks for extra. The instructor walked us through how to knead egg and flour into dough. We were then given already made pasta sheets and taught how to make farfalle, garganelli, parpardelle, and spaghettini. We were given boxes to bring our pasta home to cook later. Once we finished our lesson, we were seated for dinner. The food came out quickly. For our appetizer round, we tried the mussels and the meatballs, which we really enjoyed. The sauce of the mussels was delicious, and the bread on top was so buttery and crunchy. The meatballs had great tomato flavor and were very juicy. For our main course, we ordered the chicken parm and the squid ink bucatini. I wasn't a big fam of the texture of the bucatini noodles, but the sauce and the clams were good. I definitely enjoyed the chicken parm more. The marinara sauce in the spaghetti was delicious, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. We were quite full by the time dessert came out, but the donuts we ordered were so yummy that we finished most of them. The donuts were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, and the salted caramel sauce paired super well with how warm they were. It wasn't too sweet either. The total bill came out to be around $80 per person after tip and tax, which was great value for a pasta making class and a three course meal. Definitely recommend everyone to try this experience. Great for date night, families, and friends! read more

Been here twice and it's been such a fantastic experience both times! The instructor (Carmine) is so funny and keeps the class entertained while delivering helpful instruction. They start you off by collecting your food and drink orders and then the class starts! You learn how to make the dough from scratch, and then make a variety of shapes of pasta (all to take home)! It's entertaining and lots of fun- great for a bday! The 3 course meal after is delicious too, highly recommend the champagne mussels, and cavatelli pasta which has a nice bite (with any sauce, they're all good). I also really liked the lasagna! The donuts are also very hot and tasty. Overall a fantastic experience for any pasta-lover, definitely would recommend! read more
I was a little unsure at first; I'm new to cooking classes, but the session cleared things up and boosted my confidence. I already make homemade pasta, and this class reinforced my technique and confirmed I'm on the right track. You wait outside the restaurant until they call you in, then they seat you at a spot at the table. I went solo but ended up chatting with others; I never felt lost. The instructor circulated, was helpful and funny. The space was clean and well organized. You receive a set menu (appetizer, entrée, dessert) and you take home the pasta you make. The meal at the end was outstanding. Every course, from the mussels to the carbonara to the sundae, was packed with memorable flavors and beautifully presented. I was impressed by how delicious everything was, especially given the reasonable price. I cooked the pasta at home later: it boiled in about 2 minutes and paired perfectly with a homemade vodka sauce. read more

This was a 10 out of 10 experience. Came here for the pasta making class with some friends. It was so much fun. The teacher (Carmine) was phenomenal. He taught us and kept us entertained the whole class. Dinner was served with some focaccia bread appetizers. We ordered a variety of different pasta dishes. Included with the cost of the class you get a three course meal with a choice of appetizer, entree, and dessert. We also ordered drinks, which are additional. The drinks were so delicious. You could tell quality ingredients and real fruit is used. If you're thinking about attending, don't hesitate and just do it. You will have a great time! read more

This experience is a must in NYC. The pasta class was lively and informative. The food is absolutely fantastic - the pasta is the perfect texture and the flavors are fresh. I highly recommend the hot honey burrata as an appetizer. The instructor and servers were very friendly and the restaurant itself is cozy and fun space. Would definitely go back again ! read more
Had a great experience at Aunt Jake's pasta making class in New York. Our instructor was hilarious and kept everyone engaged throughout, while actually teaching us techniques that I'll use at home. The best part was getting to take our handmade pasta with us at the end. The class also included a drink, appetizer, main course, and dessert from their regular menu, which was a nice touch. It's a fun activity whether you're a local looking for something different to do or visiting the city. Would definitely recommend for a unique dining experience that's equal parts entertaining and delicious read more
I had a pretty good experience here! A pasta making class - particularly a class here has been on my list of NYC activities to do for awhile now. Aunt Jake's is pretty affordable compared to other pasta making classes, considering it's $60 for the class and a 3 course meal. I was able to find availability for 2 people at 8 pm. When I came around 7:50 pm, there were 2 fire trucks outside. Firemen were coming in and out of Aunt Jake's and neighboring businesses. It was also raining and there was a flood flash warning this day. A lot was going on. They finally let us in around 8:07 pm. We were handed a menu and aprons. The class itself went by fast and lasted 1.5 hour. I thought the class took place in a separate room but no, it was in the middle of the restaurant and there were tables of people enjoying their 3 course meal from the last session. We all gathered around this table and followed Anthony's instructions. Some of his direction was not that clear if I'm being honest. At one point he came over to me to correct my technique/form because I wasn't doing something right. He was kinda of sassy but it was fine. The people across from my friend and I were friendly. The girl next to me was not friendly whatsoever. Barely acknowledged me, kinda rude.... We ordered: - spicy margarita - strawberry Aperol spritz: I honestly couldn't taste any alcohol and I don't know if any was even in it. It was refreshing though but got watered down fast. - meatballs: really good! I liked the sauce - hot honey burrata: also really good. But I think they could have given bigger pieces of bread because the ratio of bread to burrata didn't match. - chicken parmigiana: I'm not the biggest chicken parm fan (anywhere), but I did enjoy this. I liked that the breading wasn't too thick. - three cheese meat lasagna: I liked that this wasn't too thick because most lasagnas are thick. Shoutout to Alexandra who took our drink orders and served us all night. read more
I took a pasta making class here and thought it was a cool experience. For $60 (before tip and tax), you get to make your own dough and four different types of pasta to bring home. While it was educational and very hands-on, I definitely enjoyed eating the pasta they served us the most. As part of their package, we were able to select food for our three-course meal. I chose Mussels to start, Squid Ink Bucatini Vongole as my main, and finished with their delicious Mason Jar Sundae. Everything was great and the portion size was huge. I'm glad I was able to experience this! read more

Wow. I saw this class all over social media and it did not disappoint. The food here was phenomenal and arguably my favorite Caesar salad of 2025. Spicy vodka sauce and Garlic Pecorino sauce were delicious and definitely worth all the hype. Let's talk details though: Is it worth it? Class is 130 dollars for two people. Dinner is roughly 90-100 just by the face value of food and drinks. 30 dollars for a class that lets you take home your pasta, at least two servings worth and they feed you? Absolute steal. Pros: interactive you can meet a lot of fun people! not just a couples activity but a family friendly as well as friend group activity as well. They accommodate large groups and small groups well. Cons: we should have wrapped our pasta balls because they went bad read more
I cannot recommend this enough! This is definitely you should try with friends at least once. It started with a two-hour pasta class with the funniest pasta instructor. We made 4 different pasta shapes that we get to take home and cook outselves. Next, it ended with a three course meal: a hefty amount of appetizers (I got so mussels, hot honey burrata, Caesar salad, etc), a satisfying amount of pasta for our entree (squid ink pasta, chicken parm, sweet potato gnocchi, etc), and we finished off with a delightful dessert (fried donuts with caramel sauce and Icecream over brownie). The entire class and meal experience is just for $74 per person including tip and tax. Also, when we cooked the pasta we took home, it was delicious! Homemade pasta tastes so much better than the dried ones from the store :) Great ambiance, fun, and tasty food 5/5 read more
The pasta making experience was fun, entertaining, and easy to follow. The calamari was crispy and delightful. The garlic (?) bread was perfectly toasted, seasoned and had a good crunch. Also had a salad although not sure the exact same which was well dressed. The sundae was amazing as was their strawberry lemonade! The chefs personally taught the pasta making class at our session. The service was attentive and efficient. The ambiance was cozy and homey although some tables were quite close together which made it hard to move in and out. Also, it gets quite loud. read more
Had the best time! We took the cooking class with Joe and he was beyond amazing!! He taught such a lovely class and made it so fun!! Alexandra was so wonderful! She helped anwser out questions about the food menu and I felt bad we had some pretty stupid questions! She was so nice about it and made sure we were taken care of the entire night!! Very good price especially for doing an experience and getting so much food!! You get an app, entree, and a dessert to eat and you get to take the pasta you made home with you!! That's 2-3 meals for just $60!! The alcohol was all reasonably priced as well!! read more

What an awesome pasta experience! Carmine was a great chef, kept the group involved, lots of fun and laughs! Aprons were given to us, and away we went, making several types of home made pasta.

when i say i absolutely love dining here. i LOVE IT! ive attended here on two occasions, one of them being in may and the second time for our anniversary and boy oh boy. i can't describe my excitement the second time around knowing what to expect from the first time. i would like to preface by saying $60pp is such a great deal for an in class pasta making experience AND a proper three course meal. the first time we came, there was so much traffic from nj to ny, we missed the pasta making portion which i believe is about 45 mins long. we explained the situation to the manager and and he promptly sat us down to be served with a dinner menu. the menu is pretty vast and with so many good options, i wanted to try something new. i ordered the champagne mussels for appetizer, lemon chicken for dinner, and the fluffy caramel donuts for dessert. my oh my. i've never had mussels and idk why i thought this would be the best place to try them, but i'm so happy i did bc it's the only way i want my mussels served. the champagne mussels came in a nice small bowl, with buttered and toasted slices of focaccia bread. that was a whole moment for me. the mussels soup was so creamy and the bread was toasted enough to soak the soup without being too soggy- uh! my mouth is drooling imagining the flavors all over again. if you're questioning your ur menu choices, start with that off rip. one of the many the pros to eating here is knowing your pasta is going to be fresh, and i really enjoyed the texture of the pasta in both of our dishes. fresh pasta can be an acquired taste/texture, but Aunt Jake's has it down right. the pasta noodles for my lemon chicken were thick enough to have the creamy lemon sauce cling to them, and long enough to enjoy a bite of pasta with each piece of the sautéed chicken. my bf had the chicken parmigiana and meatballs the second time, and man were those a good choice. i enjoyed my choices so much, the second time around, i chose the same menu items again! we made sure we arrived in the city two hours ahead so we can participate in the class. this is such a perfect restaurant for anything intimate, whether it's date night, a night out with the girls.. everyone is leaving satisfied! you can byob, but they also have a cocktail menu and the drinks were well made. i tell everyone i know about this restaurant when they ask about an italian restaurant, whether we're in the city or not. definitely coming back! read more

My friend and I came for the pasta making class over the summer. It was the class followed by dinner. The class was so much fun. We both enjoyed it so much. The dinner was amazing as well. We got: Fried calamari - really well seasoned, lightly battered and perfectly cooked Burrata app - I'm bot big on burrata but it was good Rigatoni Carbonara - so good Squid Ink Bucatini with clam sauce - solid, slightly bland Tiramisu - good Donuts - OK All in all, a great experience and dinner. Teacher was awesome. Servers were friendly. Highly recommend! read more

The place is nicely spread out considering that they have the middle island for the cooking class and have to accommodate so many people. The chef that taught our class was fun and nice! It was a bit rushed but it's normal considering the timeframe of things and them having to make sure we have enough time to dine before the next class is done. The food was really good. I got their Caesar salad and their caccio e peppe and both were good and very filling, I barely had enough space for the dessert but needed to try their donuts which were also pretty tasty with the caramel sauce. Overall a great experience! read more
My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our anniversary through a pasta making class at Aunt Jake's! When we checked for reservations a couple weeks ago, we weren't able to find any, but upon contacting the restaurant directly, they were able to secure a reservation for us! The back of the restaurant contains a large table where the class is held, and the front of the restaurant has tables for the dining part of the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would highly recommend it to anyone! The staff prepares all the materials well and teaches everyone how to make dough from scratch as well as how to make a couple different pasta shapes. You are able to take it all home in a provided box. Orders for the three course meal are taken at the beginning of the class and at the conclusion of the class, you are seated at the tables with your party to be served. We ordered the salads as a starter, the rigatoni with garlic pecorino and cavatelli with carbonara as the entree, and the mason jar sundae and donuts as our dessert! Everything was delicious! I will admit that the restaurant and class is slightly cramped, but nothing too bad! The food does take some time to come out, but it's a perfect opportunity to allow you to digest your food between each course! read more

I saw this class on social media and two friends who had also been said they enjoyed it. The pasta making portion was fun and relatively simple. Our instructor Anthony was funny and helpful! My husband accidentally folded his pasta the wrong way and he gave him his. We ordered espresso martinis which were good. Before starting the experience you order your drink, choice of app and main course. We ordered mussels and hot honey burrata. They were both decent not the best but not bad. We got the spicy rigatoni pasta which was good and actually had a good kick and the chicken Marsala which was not the best but pretty good! Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to others/return in the future! read more

I have been wanting to do this pasta class for ages, but the opportunity never presented itself, until today. It was definitely worth the wait. We had reservations for the 11 am class. Everything was very seamless in terms of timing, I was impressed. We first ordered our drinks and our food choices from the 3 course menu. We get to have drinks during the class, and afterwards, the food comes out. The class itself was engaging and easy to follow. I think people of all ages and experience levels could enjoy participating in this class. Our instructor was patient and entertaining. He ensured we were all following along so our pastas weren't totally botched. For obvious reasons, I loved that we got to take home the pastas we made and were served fresh pasta from the kitchen lol. After the class, the food came to the tables shortly after. The food was excellent and actually the whole experience is a steal for $60/person. We really appreciated that each person gets their own 3 courses. For appetizers we had the hot honey burrata and meatballs. I never had hot honey and was skeptical of it being on burrata, but it was GOOD. Would def have that again! For mains we did the rigatoni alla vodka, shrimp scampi and tagliatelle with roasted garlic pecorino sauce. All of them were amazing! Portions were really generous, so as suggested, order different plates for sharing. Desserts included donuts or a mason jar sundae. Both options were solid. I would absolutely recommend this pasta making experience! And we will definitely be back to try other dishes. Oh I forgot about the strawberry aeperol spritz! Get that! Lol read more

Do they have good gluten-free options?
I'm not sure about other menu items but I know there are definitely good gluten-free pasta selections - you choose your own pasta and sauce, so you could very easily select gluten-free options!
Do you accept reservations for outside? I was in an accident and can't stand long? Thank you…
They definitely take reservations (either via open table or just by calling them) and you can tell them your preference is to be seated outdoors, but I've been told in the past they can't guarantee it because outdoor seating is on a…
