    Class started a tad late but it was fine as the reservation says to expect 2.5-3 hours in total for the pasta making and 3-course meal. Anthony was our instructor and thoroughly enjoyed his presence, humor, and speed of the class. The space could get cramped depending on the number of people in the class. Before you start, you can order beverages to drink while you're making pasta. They also will take your food order before class begins and will assign your tables so you know where to go. You take home all the pasta you make so you have dinner planned for another day. Calamari and caponata were plentiful and delicious!! I had the rigatoni with carbonara, for the most part was pretty good, big portion, pasta cooked well, but was a little bland. Lasagna was huge as well and was very tasty! The pasta making class with three course was absolutely great! Worth the $60 per person!! Definitely recommend this as a fun date night/family night/anytime activity!

    Looking for a spot for pasta and Aunt Jake's fit the bill! Handmade the sauces were decadent without being too heavy. I liked the cavatelli with sausage/red sauce the most! The mussels were also pretty good, but could have used some more broth. Would recommend checking out!

    Booked this for my mum's birthday. Couple of things - it's a small place so decide accordingly. This goes for the tables when you're dining and when you're making pasta - your elbow will touch the persons beside you! Other thing is atleast for our group of 4, gratuity was added. it's 60$ pp for a three course meal and pasta making which is an ABSOLUTE STEAL! You can order drinks before pasta making and you also order food during that time Let's start with the pasta making - you knead, roll, make different types of pastas and then take them home. The chef and his assistant walks you very thoroughly through the process For food, we ordered a Sangiovese red for the table then ordered a bunch of things. They give you some bread for the table too. Amazingly the food is times perfectly with the pasta making and comes out right after so you have plenty to socialize during your meal and experience 1) meatballs: gigantic, flavorful in a rich sauce. Amazing and highly recommend 2) burrata: ofc you don't go wrong with burrata but it was a solid dish. The cheese was fresh and it was very well presented 3) salad (Try the calamari if you can; i have heard great things but they run out pretty fast) We did a bunch of pastas - so you basically can mix and match pasta and sauce We did the vongole which was a generous portion of clams with the pasta Then we did the squid ink bucatini Also the tagliatelle with bolognese Finally the mafalda with cacio e Pepe sauce Pastas were al dente and were generous portions with hearty sauces. It's very homemade-y in a great way Definitely recommend for celebrations and special occasions
