Aunt Jake's, the pasta-focused restaurant and class outfit that built a following on the Upper East Side, has officially landed in Huntington Village at 10 New Street, bringing its make-your-own-noodles energy to the neighborhood. The new spot combines a full-service dining room with the company's hands-on pasta workshops, built around a lineup of eight housemade shapes and eight sauces. In Huntington, chef Carmine DiGiovanni is in the kitchen and owner-restaurateur Nick Boccio is steering the operation, with weekend brunch and nightly dinner giving locals another excuse to go out for handmade pasta and group classes.
According to Newsday, the Huntington menu lets diners mix and match eight pasta shapes with eight sauces, with most combinations landing around $18 and the priciest option topping out near $22. The outlet also notes starters typically run $14 to $18, mains hover roughly between $24 and $36, and desserts clock in around $12 to $19. The space previously housed Leilu from 2019 to 2024, and Newsday quotes Boccio saying, "I'd rather be busy than empty. A busy restaurant has a better atmosphere, it's better for the customer and it's better for the staff."
Opening, hours and booking
On its official site, Aunt Jake's lists the Huntington address as 10 New Street and gives an opening date of May 20, with weekday dinner hours and weekend brunch service. The online listing includes a local phone number along with links for reservations and class bookings. The restaurant encourages diners to check the Huntington page for the most current hours and class availability.
Menu, classes and prices
Both the restaurant's materials and local coverage describe Aunt Jake's as firmly pasta-first. Most pasta combinations come in at about $18, the highest-priced option stays close to $22, and extras such as a "Sunday sauce" add-on are listed at about $4. The signature pasta classes run roughly 75 minutes, include instruction, a ball of dough to take home and a three-course meal. Those classes are priced at about $60, according to Newsday. Starters and mains sit in a moderate price band, keeping the menu accessible enough for repeat visits, not just special occasions.
Reservations and neighborhood fit
Reservations are available through the restaurant's own booking links as well as on OpenTable, which lists the Huntington address and phone number. The new Aunt Jake's adds a hands-on dining experience, plus a weekend brunch option, to Huntington Village's growing roster of casual Italian spots. For bookings and the latest menus, diners are directed to the restaurant and its reservation platforms.
The arrival of Aunt Jake's extends a broader pattern of New York-based independents heading to Long Island towns, bringing off-island dining concepts and class-driven experiences closer to suburban customers. Huntington now has another destination for handmade pasta and group nights that combine instruction with a sit-down dinner.
