About this restaurant

Romantic
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

Founded in 2015, we set out to replicate the idyllic, simplistic, cuisine we grew up to enjoy. However, we wanted to create Italian food for the next generation. The idea was to develop an Italian concept around the customer's choice on how to eat pasta compared to how the restaurant wanted you to eat it. With that in mind, Aunt Jakes' core mission is to bring high-quality fresh ingredients daily to craft our handmade pasta and sauces in a health-conscious manner. The customer can mix and match, sauce with shape, and create a custom dish of their own. Whats more, the customer can also choose whether they would like their food served individual or family-style.

We really enjoyed our first experience at this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service was terrific. I would definitely recommend this place. Sitting outside, we really enjoyed the passersby. It added to the overall enjoyment of the night.

Everything from the staff to the food to the drinks were exceptional. Halfway through dinner, I was trying to figure out what I was going to order on my next visit. We had such a great experience. Try the bespoke cocktails!

After being seated outside at our request, we realized that we were directly in the sun and feeling too warm The staff was very understanding and seated us indoors immediately. I've always enjoyed my meals and the service at Aunt Jake's and this was another very satisfying dinner.

We enjoyed our salad, but the food was bland. When our salad was brought to the table we had to ask for plates, when they brought out pasta we had to ask them to clear our empty plates from our 1st course because there was no room on the table. I think they waitstaff was a bit overwhelmed.

Great wait help, beautiful and comfortable restaurant . The mussels seemed smaller this year than in the past. It did get noisy. Portions of food were large. Too bad the pasta making at the bar was banned during COVID. I loved watching it.
Aunt Jakes - Greenwich VillageResponded on June 10, 2021
Wahine, Thanks for taking the time to review Aunt Jake's Greenwich Village. The pandemic has completely transformed how restaurants operate these days - from food and labor shortages to implementing the strictest sanitary standards across the board. We are sorry if you were disappointed with the portion of the mussels and lack of pasta making, but hopefully your next experience with us will earn a 5 star review! Best, Aunt Jake's

Didn’t even get service and had to leave because we couldn’t even get menus
Aunt Jakes - Greenwich VillageResponded on June 9, 2021
Matthew, I am so sorry this occurred. Restaurants are incredibly understaffed due to the pandemic, but nevertheless you should have at least received a menu and an introduction from a staff member. We hope in the future you will decide to return. Thanks Aunt Jake's
