Best Italian Restaurants in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

We absolutely love coming to Esther’s, and it never fails us; it is always consistent. The food, the atmosphere, the service is always impeccable. We were surprised, we felt the duck benedict was lacking in flavor, and it was unfortunately underwhelming. They can’t all be winners, I guess! Everything else we had knocked it out of the park, as it always has the numerous times we’ve been here, new location and the old one. (The truffle polenta was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, just FYI) The service was wonderful, and we realized at the end of the brunch our server was the same who served us Mother’s Day. She was then, and was today, an absolute joy, very attentive, and incredibly helpful. She did not need to bring biscuits out, but we couldn’t argue… they were absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much again for making another celebration at Esther’s a wonderful experience!

Overall on our Vegas trip, Giada was our favourite celebrity restaurant we tried. Crab arancini was crispy with a good sized morsel of crabmeat inside and delicious creamy tomato sauce for dipping. The signature lemon spaghetti and lobster ravioli were outstanding and perfectly cooked al dente. The pork pappardelle didn’t live up to expectations whereby the noodle was overcooked. The tiramisu and gelato were excellent. We would definitely go back!

The most impressive meal in Vegas!!! The food and service were 💯 The only thing that could make this better would have been a table side visit from Bobby Flay himself! We were able to select our red snapper directly with the fish monger and it was grilled to perfection!!! And whatever expresso martini you’ve had in the past … I’m just telling you to throw it straight in the trash, because Amalfi has THE ONLY real recipe - FAAAAACTS!!! Do not miss this dining experience on your next visit to Vegas! 😘

Great food, great service! Thx so much for a wonderful dinner while visiting Vegas!

Our server was awesome!!! He entertained our kids and made them laugh. Due to the boys being picky eaters he was so sweet to accommodate them and let them order butter noodles. Due to us having a late lunch my other half and I decided to share a Caesar salad and 12 oz filet mignon. When bringing it out, it was already split in half for us making it so convenient. He made sure the kids food came our first which is so helpful knowing how kids can be impatient. The way he checked on us and made sure to involve the children and ask them how there food was is rare when dining out. This was the best service we have ever received!!! I'm so sorry I cannot remember your name but thank you for the best dinner experience we have ever received. Definitely will be coming back with the family.
