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.

    Friendly knowledgeable service, outstanding food. Any of the pasta dishes are a safe bet and the cauliflower is a favorite! The butterscotch bundino was SO tasty!

    This location is so beautiful inside! We were thoughtfully sat at a banquet table to better accommodate baby. The food was delicious! Both salads exceeded expectations, and the sourdough stood up to the hype. Thank you for a lovely lunch! We will certainly return.

    Esther’s kitchen is what you want when your looking for reasonably priced food with quality! Located in the arts district is what makes it unique with the stratosphere in the back drop, cool dive bars, and the feel of vegas culture! Having a restaurant that makes everything from scratch, from the breads to the pastas to the craft drinks is what you would expect on the Las Vegas strip if you were staying at the Wynn or something of that caliber! I mean chef James Trees & his team are a true gem to have here in Las Vegas. Residing in Los Angeles I’ve had the pleasure of eating at top tier restaurants & I’d say that this is one of my all time favorites! Thank you for a pleasant meal, culture & a peaceful dinner. You just gained a regular client for life!

    Amazing food, great mix of classic and nouveau Italian food. Delicious bread and pasta made in house. Everything very fresh, extensive reasonabl wine list and amazing service. Servers and bus people worked very hard on a very busy evening and we were amazed how attentive the service was. So many great things on the menu you can make numerous visits and enjoy a fabulous meal on each occasion. We will definitely go back soon.
