When you’re in the mood for fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and dishes crafted with seasonal ingredients, there’s no better choice than Esther’s Kitchen. Bring your appetite to Downtown Las Vegas for dinner and dessert, one-of-a-kind cocktails, or weekend brunch.
Named a “USA Today” 2026 Restaurant of the Year, Esther’s Kitchen serves seasonal Italian fare from the heart of the Las Vegas Arts District.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, chef James Trees opened Esther’s Kitchen in 2018. Dinner is served nightly, and the menu changes regularly. Expect to enjoy housemade sourdough bread, wood-fired sourdough pizzas, classic brass die pastas, and both dishes of the moment and seasonal entrees. The dessert menu is equally tempting, and the cocktail menu also updates seasonally.
