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 loved all of our food and love the atmosphere of this place. My only comment would be that they use a lot of chili oil, so the food is kind of spicy and and while I don't love spicy food, I appreciate the high-quality and creativity of the kitchen.

    EXCEPTIONAL evening... the food as always is masterful. But the Service was beyond. I had shared that we were celebrating a very special evening with dear friends. Every step of the way, the staff helped us elevate the evening into a memorable one. From the kindness of the hostess to our waiter, everything about the night was perfect. It is rare that a restaurant so effortlessly combines outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, and warm, sincere service. There is a reason Esther's is so highly regarded. Bravo to the entire team!

    The manager did right by us given what went wrong so that means a lot and we will go back. That said, We are hoping they were having an off night as this was a second visit and a sharp contrast to the first visit. Upon entering, the hostess didn’t smile and demeanor was cold, she seemed annoyed to be working not the person you want to make a first impression to your guests. Our waitress took a while to get to us but was friendly when she finally came, but unfortunately we had problems with both dishes we ordered and as we were looking to get her attention we saw her leave with a backpack, apparently going on break but we didn’t know it. The first dish was a pizza came out very burnt on the edges and undercooked and soggy in the middle, we were hungry so we ate it the flavor was good; second dish was pasta, unfortunately this dish was really overcooked and gummy, we were brought a third dish, we ordered pasta again and it came out perfectly cooked!

    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!
