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.

    We tried the bread service, gnocco fritto, the mussels and the sausage rigatoni. Food was excellent. The cocktails also were excellent! Our server was extremely polite and knowledgeable about the menu. Was quite loud inside but it did not take away from our evening. Would definitely go again when I’m back in town.

    First time to new location and didn’t disappoint. Staff was on all cylinders even with last seating at 10pm. The sourdough bread is amazing. The signature cocktails are perfection. The pastas are must haves!

    I love the food here. I think our housemate sourdough bread was a little too hard and crusty around the edges, but that would be my only complaint. Service staff was helpful describing the menu and they don’t ignore little touches like crumbing the table. Our non alcoholic drinks were refilled in a timely manner. No problem splitting checks and even shared items can be halfed which was helpful.

    Excellent and friendly staff, took the time to explain the menu. I loved the ambiance and the seasonal menu. It’s the best pasta I’ve ever had. I will come back here every time I visit Vegas.
