Can You Book a Private Pasta-Making Class for Your Event in Long Island?

Yes, groups can reserve a private pasta-making class in Huntington, where guests learn to roll, shape, and cut fresh pasta by hand before enjoying a three-course meal together.

If you are looking for a unique private party restaurant Huntington NY experience that goes beyond standard sit-down dining, a private pasta class offers an engaging, hands-on activity. Guided by our team, your guests get flour on their hands as they learn traditional Italian pasta-making techniques. You mix, knead, roll and shape the dough by hand.

Private pasta classes work exceptionally well for birthday parties, shower celebrations, and corporate team building because they break the ice and get everyone talking. After shaping your dough, your custom handmade creations are carefully boxed for each guest to take home and cook later.

Following the hands-on workshop, your group sits down in our dining room to relax and enjoy a full three-course meal prepared by our kitchen staff. To review how our signature classes operate, visit our main pasta-making class guide.

 

How Does Private Dining and Full Venue Buyouts Work in Huntington Village?

Private dining at Aunt Jake's ranges from traditional group dinners and larger celebrations to a full restaurant buyout of our Huntington dining room.

We understand that every event has its own rhythm and requirements. Depending on the size of your party and the style of gathering you prefer, Aunt Jake's offers flexible booking options:

1. Group Table Reservations: Designed for smaller private parties or birthday gatherings that want the energetic atmosphere of our main dining room while enjoying dedicated seating and curated menu options.

2. Private Pasta Classes: A hands-on class for your group, followed by a three-course meal.

3. Full Venue Buyouts: For large celebrations, major corporate events, or wedding weekend events, a full buyout gives your party the whole restaurant.

At private dinners, guests enjoy our signature build-your-own pasta options—pairing fresh shapes like rigatoni, spaghettini, or beet pappardelle with sauces like spicy alla vodka or classic marinara—alongside Chef Carmine DiGiovanni's house specialties.

How Are Food and Dietary Needs Handled for Private Event Menus?

• Vegetarian Options: The menu marks vegetarian dishes, including several pasta shapes and starters like the roasted beet salad.

When inquiring about your event, simply mention any severe allergies or dietary preferences within your group so our culinary team can prepare appropriate accommodations.
