    Hot Honey Burrata
    Cynthia L.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5
