The food is beautiful here, and it tastes amazing too. Our server was prompt and gave thoughtful suggestions and accommodated allergies. There was a man in charge who came to make sure the meal was to our expectations who was intuitive and extremely kind. We ordered some breakfast sausage for our youngest (it’s her favorite food right now) and it had some heat to it- he noticed and made sure that we got a replacement and followed up with that as well without being intrusive to our meal with friends and with great sincerity. I’ve been to a lot of incredible eating experiences, it’s rare to find a place where the people who work there are as great as the food

I've been here twice in a week! Let's just say that the food is exceptionally tasty! You can't just order one thing, you have to order their dishes buffet style to gain the full food experience! We were seated promptly upon arrival. Please make reservations FYI . Literally, everything was amazing! We especially loved the chicken dinner, I know it's just chicken, but it was REALLY DELICIOUS!!! Just take my word for it, coming from a foodie 🙃 It was pan seared, and very JUICY!! For brunch our favorite were those dam pancakes!! Like I said, we ordered a bunch of food. Buffet style, U took pictures of everything. Literally, you can't go wrong with any of your choices! This restaurant, has become my to-go-to brunch , and chill dinner /lunch spot! As always, I'll be back! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice 😌

By far the best meal we had in Las Vegas! We couldn’t get a reservation so we showed up when they opened at 5 and sat at the bar. Aaron our server was AWESOME!!! He guided us on what to choose for our meal and everything he suggested was amazing. The sourdough bread is a MUST!! I’ve never had anything like it. The pasta dish we ordered was spicy and fantastic we couldn’t get enough of it but we were glad we ordered one because the bread was filling.

First, ignore my photos. They’re all blurry (dumb phone doesn’t focus in dark). Easily one of the best Italian restaurants that I’ve eaten at. From the moment you see the wall of fresh bread they are baking, you know this is going to be amazing. The service was excellent, and the food was even better. We started with fresh sourdough bread with a basil dip. The bread was so fresh and the dip melted onto the bread. The spaghetti with marinara sauce was the best spaghetti I’ve had. Perfect, Al dente noodles that were freshly made are served under a healthy serving of fresh marinara sauce and Parmesan grated on top. The Brussels sprouts pizza was extremely crispy Brussels sprouts covering the entire pizza. The flavor explodes at each bite, with the crispy, acidic sprouts adding another level to the chewy bread. The spicy lamb and sausage pizza was also excellent. The meat was tender, had a good bite, and also covered the entirety of the pizza. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas!

A fantastic early lunch in the Arts district. I included a picture of the sourdough bread.... but it was almost gone before I could get a picture. Yes it's that good. Had a variety of lunch items. Meatball sub was fantastic, as were all the entrees. Come early, or make a reservation, tend to be busy....for good reason.

In a spur of the moment move, we chose Esther's Kitchen without a reservation and luckily got a seat at the bar with an under 1 hour wait. This place is hopping and a reservation is almost a must, but it was more than worth the wait. I'm so glad we got in because this was one of the two best meals we've had in Vegas. The other also being away from the strip. Tucker, the bar manager/cocktail aficionado/waiter/food guide was an absolute gem, making the experience that much better. We had a blast. The cocktails were well balanced and flavorful, the bread is insanely good. The various bread service options that we chose were all delicious. The duck crespelle was a great choice, while the nectarine+speck pizza was such a great recommendation. The flavor combo was brilliant. We also loved the Malfadine Nero, being the best pasta dish we've ever had. Exquisite. We loved our entire meal and ambience of the place.

Such a wonderful dining experience! Service was amazing, starting from the host stand to the bartender and wait staff. Every dish was above satisfaction and the housemade advertsiement really lived up to its words with every bite. We have tried to dine here many times without reservations with never any luck, until now. Finding a place spontaneously is our thing and how excited we were to finally get into Esther’s Kitchen. The entire experience surpassed our expectations and we can’t wait to dine here again and again.

Our server was amazing! Great break down of the menu before we chose our appetizers and entrees. I highly recommend the bread with all the difference cheese sides. The bread and cheese were the best parts of the meal. Our two entrees were good, but not as good as the appetizers. Unfortunately, the truffle pasta did not have any truffle flavor. The lobster was cooked to perfection. For the tagliatelle unfortunately the pasta was a little over cooked. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely return. I would try some other entrees though. Don't pass up on the fresh bread and cheese sides, they are AMAZING!

The cheese and meat plate was fantastic and the service was very good the server was definitely well-trained. My complaint is that their wine list is insanely overpriced with $60 bottles being sold for over 200 on their list.The food prices are surprisingly good for Las Vegas but compared to a glass of wine you will spend more on the wine than you will on the food.

The food was fantastic! The bartender was super sweet and made us an off menu cocktail. We ordered the basil butter spread, the charcuterie board, and the rigatoni pasta. The restaurant is a little small, so make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee yourself a table. There's 2 gender neutral restrooms, which were exceptionally clean. I would def dine here again.

We ordered : - Cauliflower alla romana - Meatballs - Prosciutto & Peach Pizza - Lobster Pasta We really enjoyed the pizza and pasta - absolutely delicious. The cauliflower was great but we felt it could have used a dipping sauce (albeit it may be our personal preference). The meatballs were good but not a standout. Overall the service and food were amazing and we would definitely go back.

Went to dinner Esther’s Kitchen the week before last. Esther’s is a seasonal Italian restaurant, located in the Arts District in downtown Las Vegas. After an illustrious career in the business, Chef James Trees chose to open his first restaurant in his hometown. He named it for the Great-Aunt who inspired and fostered his passion, and to cook the food that he learned growing up with his best friend Alfio’s family. In 2023 Tasting Table, the New York City website that reports globally on food and drink, named Esther’s Kitchen one of the top 20 Italian restaurants in the country and I can see why. Wow… To start we ordered the house made sourdough with burrata, simply amazing. Fresh, warm and the perfect sourdough consistency. For dinner we both ordered the Madaldine nero with maine lobster, truffle butter, preserved lemon and chives, oh my goodness, this was outstanding. The staff was lovely, so attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, I wanted a cocktail off the menu and she was so accommodating. She listened to my idea of what I wanted and told me not to worry, that the bartender would come up with something for me, and boy he did a superb job putting together what I’d like to call a “winter spritz”. For dessert we ordered the Dark Chocolate Pistachio tart with 
cherry sorbet, coffee, amaretto and hot fudge. And my friend ordered the Blackberry Pavlova with candied lemon, whipped cream, blackberry jam, lemon curd and basil. We paired them with the dessert wines, and it was a feast to our palates. My god!!! This place is very popular and simply OUTSTANDING, but it’s tiny and needs more space. I was very pleased to hear they’re moving half a block away to the Retro Vegas building on Main Street. I also read the chef plans to turn the current space into a French restaurant, tentatively named L’Aristocrat and is opening Bar Bohème, a brasserie, and a sister cocktail bar, La Petite Bohème, nearby. Very exciting news I must say. If they’re anything like Esther’s they will be a hit. THIS RESTAURANT IS A GEM.

Most of main components(noodle, dough, condiments, etc,.)were made fresh, made from scratch. I love the way Esther cooks Italian cuisine. They know how to knead dough! Chef’s modern touch and reinterpretation of Italian cusine make this restaurant even more special!!! Strongly recommended!!! If you are a big fan of Italian foods.

The food was good, at least the limited food I could have due to a peppercorn allergy. I had hoped that they would make a sauce for me but alas I tried two salads and some bread with basil ricotta and butter spread. The basil ricotta was great. As was the kale salad and Italian chopped salad (secretly spicy)… the salt and lime beer was definitely the peak of greatness. And a collab with able baker which is very cool. All in all, the staff was accommodating and I really liked our server. The atmosphere was loud and somewhat crowded, but it works for what they have. Some road construction in the sidewalk outside was preventing outdoor seating and was rather inconvenient but not their fault.

A wonderful experience if you're looking to get your money's worth out of an expensive dinner. The portions aren't too big, but if you need to fill up a little, then the bread is affordable and delicious. The meatballs are also a decent amount of food for an easier price. However, you absolutely can not skip out on the drinks and desert here, DELICIOUS. Get yourself the Butterscotch Budino, just do it and thank me later. Huge thanks to our waiter Christian, his help sealed the whole experience perfectly.

It was in the high 90s when we were seated on the back patio for dinner. Glad there was a covering and nice fans with misters so it was pretty comfortable (I was nervous it would be too warm). Service was great and the pasta was perfect! The pavlova for dessert was the perfect finish to our dinner. Every bite was worth all the calories!

Vegetarian food review: I am still holding on the memory of the flavors. Anyways… gosh I am so so so glad I chose to go there. The place was packed. Luckily we got 2 seats at the bar. You will need a reservation. The bartender and server was amazing and knew just what to recommend and why. The bread is the best thing I have eaten in a while. Piping hot from the oven and soft. Delicious. Then came the pastas. And my friend and I were debating whether we should eat every bit of it at the risk of feeling stuffed. We did not. Lolz. But the flavours were just bursting in every bite. Loved it. Wish I could experience that here in Portland. Loved everything we tried and highly recommend it.

EVERYTHING about this place is incredible. However, if you want to ensure you have the best possible experience.. get a spot at the bar with Jonah as your bar tender. He is crazy knowledgeable on the food, incredibly talented at mixology, and just an easy going guy who will not invade your evening but will also add some smiles and laughs. I think we ate about 1/3 of the menu and everything was top notch. I am a foodie and would put this in my top 2 in Vegas right now. Don't miss out on this place!

Chef’s kiss with a 10/10 recommend! Esther’s Kitchen was such an incredible dining experience. The food, environment, and staff were all absolutely incredible. The house made sourdough bread and pasta paired with a robust selection of wine leaves any customer satisfied! While located a bit off the strip, consider making your way out for a meal, you will not be disappointed.

We decided to have lunch here because of the great reviews. The food lived up to the expectations! The staff was very considerate, warm and super friendly. We had ordered sourdough with Cambozla (walnuts had quite the crisp and crunch), for starter - the cauliflower allá romana (highly recommend, the cauliflower was not oily at all even though it was fried, it was light but very well spiced) and housemade pasta radiatore(pasta was cooked very well). The food was exquisite and made with a lot of care and love. It all tasted super yum and the whole experience was very pleasant! Highly recommend

Supreme! Fabulous! Wonderful! Delicious! Great service! Great spot for large parties! We reserved 5 weeks in advance. Served family style! So much food! We were 11 but could have ordered for 8/9. Every couse was a highlight. They were sensitive to our vegan gluten free member. Beautifully done ✔ for our mom's milestone birthday 🎂

Great recommendation from a local friend! Their warm sourdough bread is a wonderful delight! It's basic but their pasta and pizza were recommended by the server (over the risotto and branzino) and they did not disappoint! The arts area is renovated and adorable! Save some time to explore. We'll recommend this place to our friends and will be back again for sure!!

Esther's is an Art's District staple and has now become an icon. My partner and I had to reserve a table one month in advance! That's how good this place is. It definitely lived up to my expectations. I got the eggplant risotto and the bread basket, which came with two special kinds of butter. The bread was so good. The risotto had so much flavor that I couldn't stop eating. We felt special because the chef brought us our meals and gave us some details on them. Thanks, Esther's! You helped make my birthday amazing.

In A Nutshell: -Esther's Kitchen is one of the best Italian restaurants ranked nationally. -I was able to come grab a meal here during lunch over a weekend. -It's recommended that you make a reservation for this place. -Order their Chopped Salad, Spaghetti Pomodoro, w/ side order of Meatballs & their Rigatoni Carbonara. Overall, all of those dishes above are beyond excellent, definitely one of the best Italians restaurants I've eaten at.

This is the one of the best pasta,pizza, and bread I’ve ever had. I love how fresh the pasta tasted and cooked perfectly Al dente. I felt like I was in Italy and the food was cooked with love from a nonna. Service was ok our our server could have been more attentive to us but other than that I would recommend this spot.

Everyone who is employed here is stunning and professional. However, the Italian-inspired cuisine is the main character. The food is made with such careful attention to detail and precision. Beautiful view of the open kitchen compliments the chic ambiance. We enjoyed everything during our brunch. Highly recommend the lemon ricotta and basil syrup pancakes and the sourdough toast was goddam heavenly. The manager (name starts with a a K?) is top caliber service industry professional. Highly recommend making a reservation.

Flavor: B Service: A Tea: A Solo dining: B This place is super busy all the time. I loved my Caesar salad. The rigatoni pasta was really good but overly rich in my opinion. I sat at the bar and was served by Cornelius who was top-notch. Next time I’ll try the chicken on risotto because it looked incredible.

By reservations only for all meal times. Closed from 3-5 to prepare for dinner service. The food is outstanding, fresh and has an Italian flare. Warm inviting casual environment in the art district. The aesthetic is so pleasing from the decor to the food presentation.

Excellent food, drinks and service. I had the bone marrow starter and the Margherita pizza as my main. The marrow was excellent but some of the toast were a little charred for my taste, but it was served with more than enough so no biggie. The Margherita was solid. Ordering off menu cocktails was no problem and the wine recommendations were spot on. Great atmosphere too!

Food was amazing, staff even more so! The quality and presentation of the food was awesome. They had handmade tableware all the way down to the water jug. Speaking of water, my glass never got more than half empty, which in the Vegas heat is greatly appreciated. I got the lamb pasta dish which once mixed together was great! I normally don't like lamb but I took the risk, so if you enjoy lamb you will absolutely love it. My wife got the little pasta balls stuff with ricotta cheese and it was amazing as well! When we asked about other restaurants, multiple of the staff was even kind enough to come by our table and tell us other restaurants in the art district that they enjoy. I would gladly go back!

First time coming here and I loved it. We got the lemon pancakes and spaghetti with meatballs. The sourdough bread was delicious as well as the coffee. I would just recommend making a reservation since it does tend to get real busy.

This place has fantastic food & an excellent bar! We sat at the bar & I saw the bartender hand-make all of the drinks! I got the Margherita pizza & it was fantastic! My boyfriend got the chicken parm panini. The chips are home made as well! Excellent portions! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the prices are high for the Art District. The price is well worth the quality, but they weren't serving breakfast after 11am. And they sat us at the bar because we didn't have a reservation at 12noon on a Friday. There was not a line waiting. I would highly recommend, just not sure if I would frequent. The outdoor patio area was nice too. Very little street parking though.

A VIBE. Wow the food was incredible! The ambience was nice. Wish the seating wasn’t so close together. Overall good experience though. The staff presents themselves nicely and they are all very professional. The bread was addicting and the food was so fresh and flavorful, will definitely be returning.

Insanely flavorful and well presented New Italian cuisine. The pork belly dish was got stares and questions from the people sitting next to us! (Vegan) beet risotto was spectacular. The spaghetti and meatballs were great. All pasta and bread is house made daily. Their signature sourdough loads and cultured butter are killer. Tasty chocolate crepe cake. Oh and great beer 😁 Overall one of the best meals I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to return

Delicious Italian style brunch menu. New item, French Toast, best I've ever had. Looked so delicious, forgot to take pic!

First off, very nice atmosphere. The staff were extremely polite and nice and it really help add to the experience. Our waiter was extremely helpful and helped us with the menu and which items to try. I went with the rigatoni carbonara with a side of meatball while my partner went with lamb tagliatelle. Both dishes were very delicious. We also got a side of their housemade sourdough bread with basil ricotta spread. As an appetizer we got cauliflower alla romana. Everything was extremely delicious. I was pretty full off of the bread alone, so we actually had quite a lot of leftover pasta to bring home. It was just as delicious when reheated the next day. Will definitely be back the next time I’m craving Italian food.

I love coming here! It's such a wonderful experience to have truly creative cuisine, wonderful service, and a hip ambiance tied all together. I wish I was able to capture a more picturesque view of this place but I suppose photos will suffice! Go explore here, enjoy the food and have a great time!

“I recently visited Esther’s Kitchen in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District for brunch and had a fantastic experience. The breakfast plate and quail egg pizza were both delicious, and the sourdough bread was especially noteworthy. Our bartender, Christopher Cornelius was incredibly entertaining, generous and informative, and he even gave us a taste of a unique Italian alcohol named Fernet. He was passionate about being a bartender and made our experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Esther’s Kitchen to anyone looking for a seasonal neighborhood Italian restaurant that serves fresh pasta, pizzas, vegetables, proteins, wine, beer, and cocktails. I can’t wait to go back!”

One of the best Italian restaurants in the city. The food is always amazing, the service is always friendly and makes you feel at home (bartender Jesse was amazing!) and it’s always a joy to grab a bite here. If you’re in the downtown area (honestly even if you’re not it’s worth the drive) try Esther’s out! I will always recommend the Rigatoni carbonara, it’s as good as in Italy.

Nice ambiance located in downtown. Great food with fresh ingredients. Back in parking right in front of restaurant. Sourdough bread with interesting yet super tasting butters: basil ricotta, anchovy butter, and cambozola (I think). You can’t go wrong because they’re all so damn good. My friend got the mushroom pizza and I got Esther’s meatball sub that was deliciously delectable! Service was meh but that’s because it was busy during lunch time. Reservations required.

My favorite meal while visiting Vegas! Every dish was cooked perfectly and fresh. Everything was delicious; but I would definitely recommend the meatballs, the sourdough bread, and any of the pasta dishes. I loved being able to see into the kitchen to watch them cook.

I am so in love with this restaurant! I will need to come back to Vegas just to come back here. I don’t actually enjoy Vegas, so this feels like home. Farm to Table, really fresh ingredient, well thought out and beautifully prepared. Cocktails were spot on. Nice people. Hopefully they didn’t get weirded out how I kept saying I love everything about Esther’s, haha.

Five stars all around. I would say this place is cozy, warm, quiet and away from the strip. Food is exquisite and with friendly and knowledgeable service staff. Plenty of vegetarian options. Drinks are amazing.

I made a reservation here on my solo trip for lunch but I honestly wish I would’ve stayed in the arts district all day. The area around the restaurant was cute with different places to explore and the food! I ended up sitting at the bar and not only was the staff friendly but the other people at the bar as well. I guess good food does that to people. I got the bread with a few different options for spreads and then the black garlic pasta and when I tell you it was to die for I truly mean it. It has last meal potential. The black garlic added such a nice depth and sweetness to the dish. I would visit Vegas again if only for this pasta.

I had a lovely experience there earlier. We each had a delightfully fresh & perfectly made cocktail along with their signature sourdough bread service. It was short & sweet, but our server was wonderfully attentive & gave the entire run down of the menu. The ambiance was sort of farmhouse chic, I thought it was very nice with the open kitchen. You can hear the expo calling orders rather loudly though. I’d love to return for pasta!

The best thing to eat in Vegas is EVERYTHING at Esther’s Kitchen. Warm, homemade sourdough bread with a variety of buttery spreads (heaven), homemade pasta and the best porchetta sandwich we’ve ever tasted. Absolutely adore this restaurants vibe, relaxed atmosphere and delicious eats. Make sure you check out the Christopher Walk-in cooler!

Been wanting to try this place FOREVER and finally had the opportunity to. So glad we stuck with Esther’s bc there are so many other Italian dining options. This establishment is off the strip, which automatically makes it a plus. As much as I love the Vegas strip, restaurants can be overpriced for mediocre food. Esther’s is the total opposite. Quality food, tasty food, and NOT overpriced. I forgot our server’s name, but he was awesome. He was attentive and gave us good recommendations. FYI – entrees here are pretty darn big. I don’t think it’s meant to be had family style, but you certainly can. There is a bread service you must get. It’s basically huge loaves of bread, with a few different spreads. We did the eight-spread option which was so yummy; we got a taste of everything. The food is good, the craft cocktails were good. I would definitely recommend this place. Didn’t take note of the parking but we took an uber and it was a short 10-min/$10 uber from the strip. Looking forward to going back again someday.

Absolutely LOVED our Esther's Kitchen experience. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartenders during our meal. They had great recommendations on wines and menu favorites. Their pasta dishes were fantastic. Definitely try the carpaccio and different spreads available with their delicious bread. We'll be back next time we're in town. Know that it's popular and there can be a wait even on a Tuesday. We were quoted 1.5 hours and got in at the hour mark. There are breweries and such nearby of you need a place to grab a drink while you wait.

Yum yum yum! We dined here while visiting Vegas for work. Sourdough bread was served piping hot and the cauliflower appetizer was outstanding. Eight days a week mocktail was tasty and refreshing. Esther’s is a hip but comfortable restaurant and much better than most places we dined at on the strip.

The experience I had here was amazing, food was delicious and service was phenomenal. I recommend the cauliflower signature dish!

Excellent flavors. Perfectly cooked food. Amazing sourdough. A real chef runs the place and it shows. Creative seasonal entres and starters. Knowledgeable and polite staff. If you want to have a conversation be prepared to shout - the place is LOUD. Really nice aesthetic to the room. Even the bathroom is well decorated and themed. Cool bar with creative cocktails. Nice rear patio which is a bit quieter and dog friendly. Plenty of vegan selections. Parking is in the back. The area is rather sketchy (arts district) so definitely park in back vs. on the street after dark. Everything we ordered was tasty and unique.

Really love this place. Cocktails where on point and food was delicious, fresh and high quality. We went for brunch and service was excellent. You can tell the orange juice was freshly squeezed. Only feedback I have is that they didn’t have salt and pepper on the table or ketchup for the breakfast potatoes. I don’t particularly care to have ketchup but I took my parents there for the brunch and my step dad loves ketchup with his breakfast potatoes.

Yallllllll this sourdough 🤤😍🥰. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT. Honestly the best sourdough bread I’ve ever had!! The cocktails were perfect. Make reservations!! We went on first Friday so it was packed… but that did not delay the service. The atmosphere is giving me organic 1920s vibes 🤣. Not sure how else to describe it. Enjoy!

The best meal we had in Las Vegas so far. We loved our waitress, we loved the cozy ambiance, and we especially loved the homemade in house sourdough bread. Breakfast was excellent. Pancakes delicious. Service was outstanding. We will return again and again.

Cute and modern restaurant that always seems to be busy, so make a reservation. My party of 2 went for lunch on a Friday and started with their staple, an incredible homemade sourdough bread, it comes with as many spreads as you choose (we selected 3, all to die for: basil ricotta (the best), burrata, and anchovy butter) - do order their bread & spreads and thank me later! We got a little full from the bread and decided to share a pasta: the tagliatelle with lamb ragu, chili, mint and pine nuts. - delicious. The cocktails are great and the wine by the glass selection is very interesting (some whites from Alto Adige, a delicious red from Liguria which I had never seen before). Food, drinks and wine change seasonally, make sure to check their menu online. Amazing experience from start to finish!

Best meal of our trip. Fun atmosphere and great expert service. The food was fantastic. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the bread toppings were incredible.

Some of the best bread and butter I have had in a restaurant. The rigatoni pasta was perfect as well. My Italian coworkers recommend this place and I wholeheartedly agree with their opinion that this is one of the best and authentic Italian restaurants in Vegas.

Incredible house made pastas with creative sauces and phenomenal servers that thoroughly explain all the nuances of the menu. It is open during the nearby road construction, just a little difficult to find. Look for the wall murals. The Art District is an up and coming area of Las Vegas

Outstanding yet simple menu. Great service, real food and fun to people watch in the Artsy part on Lad Vegas. Pricing affordable

Shame on me I didn't take more photos. I went twice in one week (visiting from the east coast), I got the chicken and the polenta, both were great. The highlight was the cauliflower, but mainly its dipping sauce in the picture, it's amazing! someone tell me how to make it!! second time I got pasta and meat balls, a bit salty for me. Obviously I got the cauliflower.again... The old fashioned was good too. I have to go back.

This restaurant is fantastic. The house made sourdough bread taste like you are in Europe. The butter/oil and side of jam it comes with leaves your taste buds craving more. I could eat this all day. Our main meal was rigatoni and Esther’s meatball sub. I couldn’t recommend one over the other as they both were delicious. The rigatoni flavor was perfectly balanced and the carbonara was so crispy. The meat ball sub was the best I’ve ever had. There wasn’t too much bread and it was soft, perfect portions of cheese, meat, and sauce. Everything taste so fresh and the service was fast.

Considering my family is from Sicily, it feels sacrilege to say this was the best spaghetti I've ever had in the states (sorry, Nonna). The sourdough bread dips were amazing, the spaghetti was amazing, the pizza was amazing. I try to go to different restaurants each Vegas trip, but this is a place I'll definitely beg to go to again. Plus the bartenders and chefs were easy on the eyes. 😉

We had a nice dinner at Esther’s Kitchen. We did not have a reservation for a Monday night. The receptionist advised us only thing available were seats at the bar and that was about a one hour wait. Since we came back from a day long tour and were visiting Vegas decided to just stay since we were new to the area. Luckily a reservation cancelled and we were able to get a table after about half an hour. We went looking for a pesto pasta dish based on an old review to find out it was no longer available. The waitress advised us they have a seasonal menu for particular dishes. Our service was great, the waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro, w/ side order of Meatballs, Margherita Pizza and the Basil Ricotta spread with the Sourdough bread. The spaghetti and meatballs were really good. My wife enjoyed the warm and fresh sourdough bread and basil spread. The pizza was okay but still decent. We loved the drink Cartel Justice really flavorful and refreshing. I was not a big fan of the “What the Hibisc-is-this“ cocktail and the server was able to switch my drink for a “Cartel Justice” drink. Atmosphere was lively and it was a busy night for them. Had a great time and the food was good. But definitely loved the Cartel Justice.

I’ve been wanting to try Esther’s for some time now. The service (I sat at the bar where Cornelius assisted me) was truly wonderful. He explained the menu in great detail. This is an extremely service oriented place! Everyone raves about their infamous sourdough bread loaf. I had mine with the chicken liver pâté thing with a strawberry they served it with. Followed by the tomato and strawberry cucumber salad. The food was good, but the service is truly amazing.

Wonderful service with a very creative and delicious menu. I highly recommend this place. Maka sure to call ahead. Everything was top quality and really fresh. Pasta is all hand made. I give this a 10/10

We met a sweet young lady that recommended this restaurant. Fresh sourdough with different spreads appetizer, so worth the visit if you like fresh bread. Homemade pasta and pizzas. Had the spaghetti, cauliflower and the meatball sandwich. All tasty. Had the Panna cotta and would recommend because the kumquat make it so flavorful. Must make reservations. Looking forward to having the pizza next time.

Incredible experience. The staff and service were top notch. The prosciutto & fontina biscuits were to die for & the proper breakfast was perfect. We will absolutely be back for dinner next time we are back in Vegas.

I had heard about this spot and finally had the opportunity to try it. The food was good and had good flavor. We ordered a variety of dishes starting with the appetizer, Smoked Ocean Trout. It was very flavorful and topped with an array of different tasteful add-ons. Our main courses consisted of Easter's Chopped Salad, Rigatoni Carbonara, Rolled Pizza Scaccia and Egg White frittata. The dining area is fairly large and is often very busy. So, reservations are highly recommended. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and even suggested some of her favorite dishes. All of these dishes were great. However, the Egg White Frittata was a bit overly salted. This spot is known to locals and is frequently crowded. With that said, it's a definite must try.

Cute little spot off-strip. Service was a little slow, especially on drinks. Food was delicious. We got the sourdough bread with all the spreads, the beef carpaccio, squash blossoms, and two pastas to share (amatriciana and bacon ricotta stuffed tortellini with lobster). Everything tasted amazing and was super fresh. Weren’t impressed with any of the cocktails we had, and we tried four of them. Would just get wine next time and skip cocktails. Didn’t have a res and sat outside in the covered patio area in the back. At 6:30pm in 110+ degree weather, it was surprisingly pleasant back there—it’s fully shaded and has strong misters and fans. Def would sit there again!

As always, I found this place while trolling google maps. Originally, my girlfriend and I planned on having a quick breakfast ourselves, but our entire Vegas group (16+ people) decided they wanted to come, too, haha! Honestly, with such a large group and so many dishes sampled, all I can say is that you should eat here. The service is fantastic and the food is amazing; everything is prepared fresh. Of particular note is the sourdough bread, which they make fresh each day, in-house. The tableware is also very nice stoneware. Bottomline: come here and eat; you won’t regret it.

No free, dedicated parking. Expect to pay $2/hour street parking. Lady at front was courteous, as we had reservations. It was not crowded at 11 am on a holiday. When seated, I saw that the plate had dried food on it, so I asked for a new plate and the new one STILL had food on it. Finally, third plate they brought me had no food. The waiter Alfio was very friendly and knowledgeable, with tons of good suggestions for food. Per his recommendation, I got the meatball sub and my wife got the mushroom pizza. The meatball sub was AMAZING. The sesame roll was toasted crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The meatball had a nice, chewy texture. They had a little basil on top and I absolutely loved it. They were a little light on the cheese, but I'm okay with that. I'm not sure if they offer it, but I'm going to try asking for extra basil on the side -- it was that good. It really elevated the sub. It came with a small salad with a very lemony dressing that helped balance the heavy sandwich. The potato chips were homemade and sliced very thin. Most parts were not very salted, but some parts had too much salt. It was too earthy tasting for my (they use various tube roots), but it was pretty unique. Overall, the sandwich was amazing for $18; I can't wait to come back and try another dish.
