Best Italian Restaurants in Downtown

Wyatt is the best server ever!!!!! We have been here multiple times and Wyatt is by far the best server we’ve ever had!!! Anytime we come back I will definitely be requesting him!!!

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.

I had an absolute amazing time at Esther’s Kitchen. From the ambience to the decor and service, it’s all tip notch. I came in to surprise my now fiancée after proposing to her in her birthday and they congratulated us with a glass of wine of the house. Our server, who I believe is named Alex, was absolutely stellar and did an amazing job explaining the menu and some of there great dishes there. I knew what cocktail I wanted to try and it was a great balance of the bourbon tase but with a subtle sweetness. My fiancée didn’t know what she really wanted and Alex made her a cocktail that was spot on for her palate with a few questions! We ordered the Basil, Burrata, and Anchovy butter to go with the bread and they all were great, highly recommended! I ordered the dry age steak and my fiancée ordered the Risotto and both were wonderful,. The steak had a great crust on the steak with a good depth of flavor. The risotto was super rich and flavorful. I recommend adding the Parmesan on top to make it that much better. I can’t wait to come back in the future to try more of the menu! One of, if not, the best dining experience off strip in Vegas that isn’t crazy on your pockets! Make sure you ask for Alex, she is amazing server and made our special day that much better!

Make sure to reserve beforehand. We came the week of Christmas and made a reservation. We overheard the lady at the front desk say that the wait would be an hour at the time (7pm). There are three sections- front, with a couple tables and the bar, then the wide middle, with a view of the kitchen, and then the back, with a view of the fresh fish. Portions are pretty small but every dish was wonderful. Focaccia is off the menu- we saw other tables order it and we wanted to try it. Focaccia is super hot and fresh and served with whipped ricotta, definitely one of my favorite of the night. Their pesto and ricotta gnocchi- it comes in a ceramic dish so piping hot- and was extremely fresh and good. Their caramel tiramisu was a bit too sweet due to the caramel, but otherwise OK. Fish stew is served in a shallow bowl so it gets cold very quick. Ambiance was really nice, our server seemed a little rushed that day maybe due to a lot of tables but that was alright.
