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.

    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.

    The food was really unique and incredibly good. It is noisy there as it is very popular with high industrial ceilings. This place is a class act. After being seated we got no attention from the wait staff for 30 minutes. A waitress assigned to another table stepped in and got us drinks and took great care of us. To our amazement and gratitude the management comped the entire meal. Way to go to compensate for a lapse on service. We will definitely be back to this restaurant that cares.

    Superb dining experience in a city where great food options abound. Loved every course, including the bread! Flavours in the tuna crudo were simply outstanding. I was only sad that there was no appetite left to even contemplate dessert.
