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.

    Great server! Had friends in from out of town. We were bragging on this place. Had a great first visit. Last night not so great. If you want to spend premium dollars for a meal and at the end of it all look back and determine that the overpriced sorta sourdough bread was the best item, that’s a rip. Took a vote and bread was 1 followed by the, truly nothing else added up.

    I’ve been to Esther’s kitchen before they opened their bigger restaurant. Quality of food is incredible. Menu has great diversity for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Always such a treat to go.

    Food was excellent. This restaurant is a must try for all visiting Las Vegas! Felt a little rushed. Our waiter took our drink, food, and appetizer orders at the same time so everything arrived at the same time.

    We had the sourdough bread with chicken pate and strawberry, grilled branzino and the crab pasta and all are excellent! The flavors of each dish were familiar, yet unique at the same time, all done well! All though it was a packed house, the service was very good.

    This restaurant is away from the crowded touristy strip. Many of the patrons seem to be locals or visitors looking for something not as corporate as the casino restaurants. The ambiance is warm and comfortable. The street outside is old town main street with several other restaurants and breweries. The menu has something for everyone. It’s Italian in concept but I was able to find low carb options. My wife had a very nice homemade pasta entree. The Gem Salad was enormous. As in most places in Las Vegas wines by the bottle are over priced but there are a few wines by the glass that are affordable. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. Our meal was well timed. We enjoyed the experience.
