Esther's Kitchen is in a very cool little Vegas neighborhood, off the beaten path. The aromas grabbed me upon exiting the Uber. The hostess was one of the most polite and upbeat people you might wish to encounter. We had arrived early at this understandably...busy restaurant, and she did a great job of seating us quickly. As we waited outside for a table, she exited the restaurant and came down the sidewalk to tell us the table was ready. We ordered their signature sourdough bread with anchovy butter and capers. Delicious! The all-day braised goat and gnocchi alla romana with pecorino, orange, and crispy parsley was a dish to long remember. The table service was exemplary, and the open kitchen added greatly to the experience. See for yourself. Skip the strip and visit this little gem of a restaurant.More

Lovely restaurant, great staff who engaged on great conversation about football, can’t remember the servers name, but he was really nice, and an asset to the restaurant. Food was lovely, we had meatballs and spaghetti and a pizza. We left in a food coma! 😂

Went there 1hr before closing, and they manage to sit us (a group 10) which was great because the place was pretty packed. Order bunch of dishes, all were good, nothing to remember, but still great experience. The only complain we had is that it...took toooooo long for the dishes to come out. More than 30min, which is way too much.More

Esther's is one of our neighborhood favorites. The staff is all very friendly, welcoming and attentive. We were seated on the covered patio which was pleasant. Even though it was 90 degrees outside we were cooled by oscillating fans and the shade; the only draw...back were the pesky flies. No meal is complete at Esther's without the housemade crusty bread- served hot and with your choice of spread- delicious! We shared the black kale salad- lightly dressed and very tasty. We both also enjoyed the spaghetti with marinara-the sauce is light with chunks of tomato and whole garlic cloves. My husband topped his with a side of meatballs. The portion size is quite large and we each took home another meal. This is a busy site - reservations are a must and parking can be difficult to find.More

Absolutely delicous! Staff: Super friendly! Food: DELICIOUS!!! This restaurant is not in the center of Las Vegas but really close and DEFINITIVELY the BEST italion in Las Vegas!!! We loved it!

We are so glad we got away from the strip to enjoy this gem. The food and the service were sensational! Everyone working there seemed super passionate about their offerings! The kitchen staff was throwing down while having fun.

The Arts District of Vegas is a series of blocks with low-slung buildings peppered with tattoo shops, antique junk purveyors and graffiti. This little Italian restaurant is more of a farm to table that leans into its excellent bread and pasta offerings. If you are...willing to explore beyond overpriced and overdone Vegas resorts, it’s easy to take a Uber here for a very good, and considerably less expensive dinner. Be sure to buy a round of beers for the kitchen.More

The hype is real. We dined here on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. Thankfully we had a reservation and I recommend making one no matter the day. The area is a fabulous part of the Arts District and we went for drinks...before dinner at one of the bars nearby. Start your dinner with the sourdough bread - seriously. One of the best loaves of bread I’ve ever eaten. It’s amazing just with the butter and nothing else. We both had the spaghetti and it was delicious - I couldn’t finish mine, so my husband ate the rest when he was done his, haha. I took the server’s recommendation for wine and it was spot on. We bought the kitchen a round of beers that’s on the menu - their reaction is fun. Prices were reasonable and it was the best meal we’ve had in Vegas. We’ll definitely go again next time we’re in town!More

Given all the rave reviews, I was excited about trying this place. We started with prosciutto and fontina biscuits and they were dry and tasteless. My wife had chittara cacio de Pepe and it was not bad. The pasta was slightly over done but the...pepper was just the correct amount. I had the tasteless, dry, under seasoned chicken parm sando. We shared the dark chocolate pistachio tart and it tasted like chocolate sand. The place was very disappointing.More

What a great restaurant, its a hidden gem. Adam and his team were excellent and provided us with incredible service. Everything was so amazing.

Food was amazing and the vibes match it. One of the best places to eat in downtown Las Vegas highly recommended.

We wanted to go off the strip for a day and peruse the shops and eat in The Art District. We were greeted by a friendly host, although we had to wait half an hour because we didn’t have reservations ( highly recommend making reservations)...The bar tender was super friendly and the food was great! Thanks for a great lunch!!More
