Seasonal Italian Restaurant. Focused on Handmade pasta, bread and pizza. We get all of our products as locally sourced as possible.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: James Trees

From the OpenTable editors: When James Beard-nominated chef James Trees opened Esther’s Kitchen in 2018, he helped put the Arts District on the city’s culinary map. Now in a stylish new space with an open kitchen and whimsical animal wallpaper, the refined Italian spot still turns out the same wood-fired sourdough pizzas and knockout pastas (get the rigatoni carbonara with snap peas) that made it an instant Vegas classic.

    This was an amazing experience and the food was fantastic! We are telling everyone we know to make this a stop on their Vegas trip. The mezzaluna was spectacular, everything we ordered we would gladly eat again and Celine was a fantastic server we would love to have again. You won’t be sorry if you leave the strip and have the best craft cocktails and fresh made pasta in Vegas!

    This was my second time at Esther's and my first at the new location. The bread was so good at my first visit, but not so good this time. The bread was burnt in places and too hard--beyond the crustiness that made it great my first visit. The past was gummy and too al dente. The pork and the lasagna were great.

    We had an odd occurrence in that a new server stopped at the table to say that our server Eason a break. Then one of our dishes was served cold! We asked if it was supposed to be a salad, the cauliflower was literally chilled! Thankfully they removed it from our bill. Nice people and cool place.

    Excellent meal from start to finish, get a table asap! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and helped guide us through the menu and how best attack it. I highly recommended a dish or two from each section and share with the table to cover as much as you can. Definitely will return when back in town

    Our server was excellent no complaints. The food was disappointing. I ate at the old location (3 times smaller) last November and the food was fantastic. Tripling in size did not do them well. We barely ate anything we ordered, walked out hungry. Wine was excellent.
