- BBijalNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great time at the pasta experience. Glad to be close to the instructor so we were able to see what he was doing. The food was awesome as well. Would love to know if they show different pasta shapes in different classes. Would also love to know the technique of rolling the dough. Overall a great experience and highly recommend itMore infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
- MMaryVIPNew York City •98 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoReally nice neighborhood spot. Super warm and efficient service. The noise level was quite high at one point but not much can be done about that. The lasagna that we ordered was not quite hot enough and was too tall to eat comfortably but that was not a big deal. The salad the shrimp and the flatbread were excellent.More infoWater & WheatPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper East Side•4.6
