Aunt Jake’s brings handmade pasta and classes to Huntington Village
Aunt Jake’s will open May 20 at 10 New Street with $60 pasta classes, eight handmade shapes and a menu built to keep most plates near $18.
Aunt Jake’s will bring its pasta-first model from Manhattan to Huntington Village on May 20, turning 10 New Street into a place where dinner is only part of the draw. The restaurant, founded in 2015 by Nick Boccio and The Project Group, is built around handmade pasta, and the Huntington outpost will keep that identity intact with classes, private events, craft cocktails and a menu designed to stay approachable.
The kitchen will center on eight homemade shapes paired with eight sauces, a structure that gives the brand a clear point of view and a practical one, too. Most combinations in Huntington will run about $18, and none will top $22, which puts the restaurant in a sweet spot for a neighborhood spot that wants repeat business as much as destination traffic. Chef Carmine DiGiovanni will be in the Huntington kitchen, giving the opening a familiar face tied to the food rather than just the concept.
The most distinctive piece of Aunt Jake’s model is the pasta class. OpenTable lists the Huntington Pasta Experience at $60 per person for about 2.5 hours, with a $10 non-refundable deposit applied to the final bill. The experience includes hands-on instruction, a ball of dough to take home and a three-course pasta meal built from the regular menu. That keeps the craft visible from start to finish, which is what separates Aunt Jake’s from a standard Italian restaurant where the production line stays hidden behind the kitchen door.
The Huntington location will also serve dinner daily and weekend brunch, so the room will not be limited to class bookings. Aunt Jake’s official site lists the address as 10 New Street, Huntington, NY 11743, and the restaurant’s local number as 631-470-3248. The opening will also take over a space with recent restaurant history: Leilu closed there in August 2024 after five years. With Aunt Jake’s moving in, Huntington Village is getting a new pasta room with a clear identity, and this one arrives with the ingredients, the classes and the price point to make the concept stick.
