Best Italian Restaurants in Sahara Hotel & Casino

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!

My husband and I had an amazing Christmas Day dinner here! The special three-course meal was outstanding—each dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic Italian flavors. The brussel sprout salad, bolognese, and beef short rib were absolute standouts! The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. The warm, festive atmosphere made the experience even more special. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Old school Italian restaurant with too many great choices. Our server (Rob) was attentive and a lot of fun. We ordered a salad, 2 main entrees and dessert for 6, plus 1 bottle of wine (Chianti) and that was enough food without any leftovers. Tried 2 new items - the Rigatoni country style and the Italian cheesecake - and they did not disappoint. Veal Parmigiana and Ceasar Salad (including anchovies on the side) were also very good.

Went late afternoon. Numerous happy hour items available (happy hour 2-7). Split a Margherita Pizza and salad with my wife. Service was great and food was excellent and very reasonable! Highly reccomend!

Went for the magic show and drinks before dinner. The magic show was fun and the magicians were very entertaining. Not much of a wine selection but I would come back, service was great but the bartender had no idea about wine.
