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.

    Rumors of their deliciousness were not exaggerated! We stopped by for brunch today and enjoyed several different top sellers. The sourdough bread, brunch pizza, truffle polenta with eggs, and chopped salad were all an 11 out of 10. It was also far more food than two people could eat; my guess would be that dining with a group, about one item per person, maybe with one extra dish if it’s a bigger group, would be perfect. I was a bit worried about the noise level, as I have some hearing issues. But while there were plenty of conversations going on in the packed restaurant, with some background music in the mix, I had no trouble at all. It was so good that now I’m wondering if they have some noise dampening tech at work. Or it could just be magic, like their food. Ask for Kimmy, and enjoy a fabulous meal!

    Our server Kelsey was excellent. From the moment she came to the table she was professional and informative. The food did not disappoint. We heard about this place from Chris Kimble of milk street and formerly of America test kitchen. He said in his podcast “You can travel the whole world all in one place. Now, I recently had an outstanding meal at Esther's Kitchen. That's the brainchild of Las Vegas native James Trees.” Which made us want to come. The pizza was as good as Chris Biancos. The pasta was as fresh as we had a Felix. This was a gem of a place we will return to
