Aunt Jake's Nyc

Great appetizers with big portion sizes. Wonderful ambiance. Menu is make your own pasta- you choose the noodle and the type of sauce you want. Three of use ordered tagliatelle noodles which are traditionally thick and wide cut. What we got were noodles slightly wider than thin spaghetti. For sauces we got the broken meatball marinara, slightly disappointing with the flavor and also the amount of meat in the sauce. My husband’s lasagna was great and the noodles were definitely homemade. Aunt Jake’s drink was also tasty, light and refreshing.

We were recommended by our friends to come here while we were visiting NY. Although it didn’t give you old school Italian vibes, the food and service made up for it. My wife was able to create her own pasta which most places won’t let you do. I ordered the chicken Parm with pasta added as a side(extra 6 dollars). Our waiter was very friendly and extremely attentive to all of our needs. We also had the calamari for an app. They give you breadsticks as well during your meal. I’ve never had a better chicken Parm than the one I had at Aunt Jake’s. By far the best. They give you two chicken cutlets so if you order it maybe skip the app. I couldn’t eat all of mine even though I wanted to.

Loved dining here! There is an outdoor patio that we ate at and it was really well decorated (under the cover). It's awesome that you can customize the pasta (choose the shape and the sauce). The server was great at recommending the right combination. I got the sweet potato gnocchi with the mushroom ragu. Definitely could taste the mushroom and put some parmesan on it and.. SHEESH. Delish! Would def come back here to try different dishes! Yum!

This was some of the best homemade pasta I've ever had! I had the mafalda pasta with the broken meatball sauce and jonathan, the server and bartender, with excellent taste geared me in the right direction! It was so good I wish I could take some of it home to my friends/family. The espresso martini was also delicious! 100/10 would recommend when looking for a good Italian dish!

Had reservations in Little Italy, great atmosphere, excellent service (Troy). Build your own pasta menu, complimentary bread sticks. Food was fresh and amazing, some portions would feed 2 people (chicken parmesan). The food was a little slow coming out but was hot and fresh. Desert available but didn't have room for anything else after dinner.

Really good, homemade food right in the heart of Little Italy. The meatballs were good. Very big, good for sharing. I really enjoyed the twist on traditional chicken parm with a spicy marinara sauce! It made it unique and slightly different! The portion size was huge too, also great for sharing! The homemade pasta and sauce were also good. It was a bit over cooked and soft, not al dente. I’d recommend getting a few things and sharing with the table so you can try more. It was a little strange that I was sat in the very front when they clearly had open tables in the main seating area and throughout the entire time I dined too, even though I asked to sit in the main dining room. It was very cold up there and I had to keep my winter coat on the whole time which made it uncomfortable. It would be much more pleasant if they added heaters there. But overall, I did like the place because the food was good.

It was quite hard to pick a place to eat in Little Italy but this was the right decision. Haven't had family style pasta in quite sometime and this was a really good refresher. Three of us shared a few too many warm soft twisty garlic bread (but really is too many bread sticks even a thing ) and a family style portion Herb Garlic Garganelli pasta w/ broken meatball sauce...Sweet Baby!! The pasta was cooked to perfection, my goodness. It was soft, lightweight and green. The pasta wasn't as thick as I was anticipating but very filling for the size. The meatball chunks in the sauce were plentiful and hearty! The meatballs were really good and enough to fill each and every bite. I loved the sauce and the parmesan cheese was just the cherry on top as they say. Lol Really need to come back here to try the squid ink pasta. I'm sure that's delicious as well. Can't wait!

Firstly, the portions here are good. If you order pasta it comes in a full bowl which I found to be more than enough to be satisfied. The environment is also welcoming with chill music. The waitress was very attentive with little wait for any food that was ordered. Overall The food here is great, the pasta was cooked on point and my total was 60$ and it was 2 of us.

We went to Aunt Jake’s this weekend and the service + vibe was incredible! It’s such a cute spot if you are wanting Italian in Little Italy. What makes them different is you choose your pasta type and then which sauce you want on it! Which is really unique and fun. Pasta: 5/5 (Rigatoni) Sauce: 4/5 (Ala Vodka) It was good but I’ve had better. I wish it was a little more creamy! Bread: 5/5 so fresh and warm
