“While the food and atmosphere were wonderful, the service was exceptional. Kimmie was our sommelier and opened two bottles of wine for us ($25 corkage fee each) and even shared some info about each of the wines we brought in. I was impressed with her! We offered wine from both of our bottles and she kindly offered for us to sample her favorite lambrusco on their menu, and then she later shared with us a bottle of ice wine off their menu from Romania. Such an enjoyable experience paired with delicious food. My pasta was handmade just steps from where we were seated. I wished I had taken pictures of the process.”
“I had read several great reviews from all over the internet about this spot for several years and finally got to check it out. Blown away! The flavor combinations are incredible and the service is 2nd to none. The sourdough bread and meatballs were to die for. You could go home and call it good just with that. The sauce was delicious. The pizzas were amazing. Eat it all if you can.”
“Esther’s is still one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Vegas. The food is consistently good and the service is also the same. We came for lunch on a Friday with reservations and were seated within a couple of minutes. We ordered a bunch of pizza and pasta to share. I must say, the pizza here has gotten even better since I last tried it. That 3-day sourdough be hittin. The only thing that I was not amazed with however, was the radiatore pasta. It was just too acidic for my taste, like the lemon was too overpowering. Our server later told us that the sauce was all lemon juice. If you don’t like that acidic/tart taste in your pasta, stay away from this one. Otherwise. All the other dishes were excellent. My favorites were the sausage and kale pizza and the cacio e Pepe. The dessert was also amazing. Definitely recommend Esther’s kitchen for a good time and great food. There’s a reason this place is always packed and booked out.”
“We loved this place so much! The sourdough bread with the anchovy butter and fegatini was insanely good. We seriously couldn’t stop eating it. The ginger ale was also surprisingly amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had such a great texture. Everything we ordered was delicious. Definitely coming back next time we’re in Vegas!”
“We went here with very high expectations, and it was just OK. The restaurant is beautiful, and our seats were very uncomfortable. The place was bustling with a very diverse crowd in a family reunion-type of atmosphere. This was a Friday at 12:30PM before Memorial Day and the place was full, so reservations may be in order if long wait is not desired. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was hit or miss... Some dishes were worthy of a second visit and some sent us running for the hills. The Bread and spreads were delicious, the meatball appetizer was great, and the pasta dishes (cacio e pepe and pomodoro) were superb. The cauliflower appetizer was flavorless and so spicy hot that it obliterated our taste buds, so we don't recommend it. The Porchetta sandwich was a soggy and flavorless mess, and we barely touched it. The lemon cake dessert was good, but not great. Prices were a bit high for the quality of the food, so value is just OK. We'll go back for the pasta, but nothing else.”
