“I recently visited Esther’s Kitchen in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District for brunch and had a fantastic experience. The breakfast plate and quail egg pizza were both delicious, and the sourdough bread was especially noteworthy.
Our bartender, Christopher Cornelius was incredibly entertaining, generous and informative, and he even gave us a taste of a unique Italian alcohol named Fernet. He was passionate about being a bartender and made our experience even more enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Esther’s Kitchen to anyone looking for a seasonal neighborhood Italian restaurant that serves fresh pasta, pizzas, vegetables, proteins, wine, beer, and cocktails. I can’t wait to go back!”
The food was good, at least the limited food I could have due to a peppercorn allergy. I had hoped that they would make a sauce for me but alas I tried two salads and some bread with basil ricotta and butter spread. The basil ricotta was great. As was the kale salad and Italian chopped salad (secretly spicy)… the salt and lime beer was definitely the peak of greatness. And a collab with able baker which is very cool. All in all, the staff was accommodating and I really liked our server. The atmosphere was loud and somewhat crowded, but it works for what they have. Some road construction in the sidewalk outside was preventing outdoor seating and was rather inconvenient but not their fault.
Food here was simple yet delicious. Even something as simple as a salad was perfectly seasoned making it absolutely delicious. I tried their chicken parm sandwich with a side of potatoes. The sandwich was again simple yet cooked to perfection. This place is a fine example of delicious comfort food that's reasonably priced.
The ambiance is very cozy and warm. I came here on a date with my wife and we loved it. Service was excellent and our server did a commendable job of explaining the menu and giving us good recommendations.
Came here on the recommendation of our taxi driver. It’s in the Arts District and it’s great to get off the strip. The cocktails are great. The tomato caprese app was the best! The sourdough bread is divine. We had the tuna salad which was ok. Our main course was the rigatoni with a side of meatballs. All the pastas are house made. Great food. Good atmosphere and our waitress Kylie was the absolute best.
We ordered :
- Cauliflower alla romana
- Meatballs
- Prosciutto & Peach Pizza
- Lobster Pasta
We really enjoyed the pizza and pasta - absolutely delicious.
The cauliflower was great but we felt it could have used a dipping sauce (albeit it may be our personal preference).
The meatballs were good but not a standout.
Overall the service and food were amazing and we would definitely go back.

Been wanting to try this place FOREVER and finally had the opportunity to. So glad we stuck with Esther’s bc there are so many other Italian dining options.
This establishment is off the strip, which automatically makes it a plus. As much as I love the Vegas strip, restaurants can be overpriced for mediocre food. Esther’s is the total opposite. Quality food, tasty food, and NOT overpriced. I forgot our server’s name, but he was awesome. He was attentive and gave us good recommendations.
FYI – entrees here are pretty darn big. I don’t think it’s meant to be had family style, but you certainly can. There is a bread service you must get. It’s basically huge loaves of bread, with a few different spreads. We did the eight-spread option which was so yummy; we got a taste of everything. The food is good, the craft cocktails were good.
I would definitely recommend this place. Didn’t take note of the parking but we took an uber and it was a short 10-min/$10 uber from the strip.
Looking forward to going back again someday.

Nice ambiance located in downtown. Great food with fresh ingredients. Back in parking right in front of restaurant.
Sourdough bread with interesting yet super tasting butters: basil ricotta, anchovy butter, and cambozola (I think). You can’t go wrong because they’re all so damn good.
My friend got the mushroom pizza and I got Esther’s meatball sub that was deliciously delectable!
Service was meh but that’s because it was busy during lunch time.
Reservations required.
This is the one of the best pasta,pizza, and bread I’ve ever had. I love how fresh the pasta tasted and cooked perfectly Al dente. I felt like I was in Italy and the food was cooked with love from a nonna. Service was ok our our server could have been more attentive to us but other than that I would recommend this spot.
We were thrilled to get a lunch reservation last week. LOVED the place A to Z. Service was great. Unique decor. Great menu options. Our experience here was first rate. A totally different atmosphere and experience than one you'd find on the strip. We enjoyed every bite. Highlight of our trip.
I made a reservation here on my solo trip for lunch but I honestly wish I would’ve stayed in the arts district all day. The area around the restaurant was cute with different places to explore and the food! I ended up sitting at the bar and not only was the staff friendly but the other people at the bar as well. I guess good food does that to people. I got the bread with a few different options for spreads and then the black garlic pasta and when I tell you it was to die for I truly mean it. It has last meal potential. The black garlic added such a nice depth and sweetness to the dish. I would visit Vegas again if only for this pasta.
