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.

    Love this place! Come to Vegas once a year and always come here, never disappointed! Husband and I usually share the chopped salad (big portion for one person and we did not finish it), meatballs (3 meatballs comes with 2 slices of toasted bread) and one of the pastas. Last night we also had pistachio affogato for dessert. Kylee our server was professional and efficient while being very personable. Did I say I love this place!

    Have visited twice in the last 4 months with parties of 4. Both times have been phenomenal! Everything is fresh and delicious from the sourdough bread and pizzas to the pastas and desserts. The staff is friendly and helpful. Reservations are highly recommended. Both visits were on weeknights without any notable events in town and it was packed. It's fun to watch the open kitchen making the pasta as bonus.

    Food and service was amazing…. 5 stars Alex was professional, efficient and very nice and accommodating. Ambiance and noise level was terrible Very large party seated next to us were loud drunk and obnoxious. They should have been in a separate room or asked by management to not be so loud. They were screaming over one another Ruined the evening for all the other diners

    Everything I asked her was amazing from there upstairs cocktail lounge where you wait before you have dinner to when you’re sitting having dinner. The sourdough bread with a 30 year starter was amazing.
