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’ve been wanting to try this for quite awhile and finally managed to score a reservation since they moved into their new space. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is top notch. The bread was amazing, the servers were awesome. My pasta was very good, my husband didn’t like the lasagna at all. Very different take that he didn’t enjoy but found interesting. He mostly ate mine. Slightly disappointed because I was expecting amazing but I would like to try it again.

    Always fabulous. We went on a Weds night. Busy, a bit loud, but the foods outstanding, great service by friendly servers, and the drink menu is varied and interesting. We got the bread service (a must!), meatballs along with the "Little" (aka huge) Gem Salad for starters. That would normally be enough for two, but we soldiered on. We got the pork chop (delicious!) and the rigatoni with almonds. Esther's Kitchen is truly one of our favorite Vegas restaurants, a gem in the desert, and we will be back every time we are in town!

    There were 3 of us at dinner. We all had a different house made pasta and they were all amazing and delicious. Our 2 waitresses Caroline and Daphne were efficient, knowledgeable and very personable. It was a lovely culinary experience!!

    Always a great go-to before Smith Center performances. The menu was fresh with lots of new things to try out. We did the 1/2-sourdoguh w/basil ricotta, cauliflower alla romana, endive + smoked beet salad, and the girella pasta. Everything was excellent and our server was great about pacing us without rushing us to make it out the door by 7:00 PM for our 7:30 performance.

    Plates all came at different times, which we found odd. Food is extremely rich. Restroom very loud.
