Love the spaghett! That's the only thing I get. Me and my friends have came here a few times. Definitely want to try more things on the menu. My friend didn't like the pizza she got. read more

I've been to Esther's Kitchen so many times that I'm finally getting around to writing a review! I absolutely love seeing a great local business grow, especially since they started in a much smaller location before moving into the beautiful space they're in now. The bread and spread are honestly one of the things I look forward to most while waiting for my entrée. You may have to wait a little, but it's clear the food is being cooked to order, and the quality is worth it. The wine selection is also amazing--there's always something that pairs perfectly with the meal. And saving the best for last... the butterscotch budino is to die for. Seriously, don't leave without ordering it. A Vegas favorite that I'll happily keep coming back to. read more

Probably one of the best if not the best italian cuisine in the Arts District and Downtown area. Service was decent when we were there - We were handed off to another server which i dont care for when it happens, but they do have to take their breaks too! Its a nice place inside, clean and open (Not Cramped). Not dark and not too bright inside - Food was tasty and the drinks were cold ! Parking is not easy in the Arts District area - but this place is a bright spot in the area- Check it out. read more

tried this spot for brunch and ill definitely be back for the dinner menu! at 10:30 on a saturday their next opening wouldve been at 2pm, so we opted for bar seating. our waiter was very nice and juggled his seats well, still tending to waters and our other needs. the space is lively and cute, and the bar was noticeably tidy. a spot thats worth the hype and worth a wait for sure drinks! american in paris - a light drink thats refreshing and not too sweet. a bit too minty for me, which covered up a lot of the fruit in bloom - strong, with a heavier mouthfeel. a bit sweeter, i liked this a lot! food! meatball sando - soo good and flavorful with a medium rare cook. i love the mixed taro and sweet potato chips it comes with! the side salad is well dressed. daviola pizza - really good, my boyfriends favorite. i find the hot honey not super noticeable. the crust is very good but its a bit too thin for me personally. still, tastes great! read more

My husband and I went here twice while in Las Vegas off a recommendation from our Uber driver and were very impressed (ergo going twice!). First of all, the place is beautiful and very buzzy. We sat at the bar both times (first time because it was the only seating available, second by choice). Service was extremely friendly and helpful. Logan was working the bar the first time and was great with walking us through the menu with recommendations. It was fast but not overbearing or pushy by any means. We tried a bunch of things off the menu. The house sourdough bread was good, not great. You can choose from a number of spreads to accompany it and we got the fegatini (chicken liver, foie gras, saba, and strawberry) and it came with butter. We got the Italian chopped salad both times (salumi + provolone + chili + tomatoes + garbanzo + olives). At $19 it was a bit expensive for a salad but it was large and filling. We really enjoyed this. We got the Zucca pasta (fennel sausage sugo + roasted tomatoes + rabe + pecorino). Also a bit pricy at $29 but a large portion and absolutely delicious. We would definitely reorder this. The Ricotta Gnudi (beets + truffle + golden balsamic butter + pistachio pesto) however, was a paltry size for $28 and wasn't very good - we didn't even finish this one. Anyway, some hits and some misses, but definitely a spot I would recommend if you're looking for something that's not on the strip. I'd personally go back and reorder the chopped and zucca for sure. read more

Esther's Kitchen - Chopped salad and bread - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Delicious must try place when in Vegas w/ a car~ We paid for parking (public lot) & it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. Perfect atmosphere for all occasions- fun night out for drinks, date night, or family night. Make a reservation otherwise you may way for a long time. Service/waitress was also great, but the only complaint was there was a very long gap between our dishes (40 min gap from pizza/salad & the other dishes), which is the only reason for the 4/5. Very awesome that they make all dough in house & made to order, which is probably the reason it takes some time. If you're not the hangry type or have enough time to sit, talk, & drink, it shouldn't be an issue. I will rate things off how much I recommend them out of 5 (most recommended). We ordered some drinks (3) including strawberry lemonade (4), little gem caesar salad (5), peach/prosciutto pizza (7: must try!), mushroom risotto (4), lamb osso buco (1; way too salty), fusilli (4; if you like adventurous flavors), & zucca (3). Some are seasonal, so you might not be able to find it. Already started recommending them to ppl who are visiting & will definitely be back when in Vegas :) read more

Esther's Kitchen has finally been ticked off of my Vegas must-visit list! Getting a dinner reservation here is difficult, but I lucked out on a Sunday brunch- booked two weeks in advance. Our party of 5 celebrated my birthday a little early, and it couldn't have gone better. Firstly, the restaurant is very cute! Open kitchen, beautiful bar, and an eclectic decor to match their rotating, experimental menu. Interesting pairings all around. These chefs have fun building fresh and flavorful plates. We started with the sourdough and three dips. The basil dip and the burrata were tasty, but they had some interesting options from anchovies to bleu cheese. It was tough deciding, but well worth ordering! The loaf was fresh and flavorful, and I'm a sucker for a good sourdough. Pictures did not do Esther's justice, because each one of us was shocked at the portions! They are generous. My biscuits and gravy came with 4-5 biscuits and took me literally all day to finish! Well worth the price. The ingredients are very high quality and it comes through each bite! Service was fantastic. Regular visits, refills, and great cocktails. The staff knows whats up and how to keep a fun, relaxed vibe. They even offered to take group photos for us! The complimentary birthday dessert was definitely a bonus, and delicious. All in all, Esther's is a Las Vegas must. Dress it up or down, come for dinner or even brunch. It's a good time with fantastic, QUALITY food! A great balance of Instagramable, delicious, and fairly priced! read more

Before our trip to Vegas, my husband I did some research on amazing dining off the strip and Ester's Kitchen kept coming up. A seasonal Italian kitchen with great cocktails sounded right up our alley, so we made a reservation for lunch. It was on the arts district so nice area to walk around as well. There was some street parking a few blocks away that was actually free during lunchtime hours to encourage business. The joint was hopping inside. We were greeted and told our table would be ready in a few minutes. The interior was very aesthetically pleasing, lots of tables of various sizes and a large bar area. While waiting I saw Howie from the Backstreet Boys come into the restaurant! He also knows what's good. You could smell the amazing sourdough bread baking when you walk in the door, so we knew we were ordering that and also got the three choice of dips to go with it. We got burrata, fegatini, and a third I can't recall. I enjoyed all three. Definitely some flavor profiles I hadn't tried before. But it was fun to try some new dips. The sourdough was pure perfection, soft and warm inside with crunchy and flaky crust. It also came with a salted butter and olive oil. You can order a loaf to go which I recommend if you can. You gonna be thinking about the bread all day anyway. For the rest of our food we decided to share a couple thongs so ordered a salad, two sandwiches, and a pasta. There was so much on the menu that sounded good. First to arrive was the Garlic Oil Poached Tuna Salad. It was a mix of refreshing mixed greens, tomatoes, a nicely poached eggs, and pieces of tuna. I was thinking it was going to be a seared tuna,but it was cooked. Regardless it was well seasoned and tasted good. To me, the Chittara Cacio Pepe was the entree star. It's such a simple pasta topped with pecorino and peppercorns but when it's done right, wow. The pasta was clearly freshly made and the sauce was so creamy. Yum! The sandwiches came with some mixed greens and various potato chips including purple and sweet. The Garlic Roasted Turkey Sandwich was deli style turkey served on a sesame roll, topped with a slaw and parmesan frico. The Meatball Sub was also on sesame roll, topped with pomodoro, basil ricotta, and provolone. The meatball was a little different, shaped more like a sausage but similar flavor. The tomato sauce was excellent as expected. Of the two the meatball was my favorite, but both were solid. This was a first class meal and I highly recommend coming to Esters if you want to break away from the strip and okay to pay for a nicer lunch experience. You can taste the quality and honestly worth it to just stop in for the Sourdough bread alone! The service was also top notch, very attentive and prompt. We all agreed we wanted to come back next time we are in Vegas to try their dinner. read more

We visited Esther's Kitchen twice, once for lunch and once for dinner and had two very different experiences. Lunch (5/5): The service was exceptional from start to finish. We ordered the cherry cinnamon French toast, fresh sourdough bread with basil ricotta, and the New School Chicken Parm Sando. Everything was delicious, but the French toast was easily my favorite. The service was attentive, friendly, and really made the meal enjoyable. Dinner (3/5): Unfortunately, dinner didn't match the experience we had earlier that day. The service felt lacking, especially after seeing how incredible the lunch staff was. We ordered the Diavola pizza, Chitarra Cacio e Pepe, and smashed potatoes. The Diavola pizza was absolutely amazing and is the one reason we'd come back, it was that good. However, the pasta and potatoes were underwhelming. They tasted bland, and we just didn't understand the hype we've seen all over social media. Overall, I'd happily return for lunch and definitely for the Diavola pizza, but I hope the dinner service and consistency improve because our afternoon visit showed just how great Esther's Kitchen can be. read more

Nothing bad to say about this spot, it's my 2nd time visiting and both times have been superb! The menu offers a variety of options, I got the spaghetti and it was delicious the sauce was on point and flavorful, the house bread was also amazing warm and had delicious butters. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time. read more

I had heard so much about this place. My friend had gone years ago and loved it. They recently expanded. We made a reservation and sat at the bar. The bar staff was super attentive and helpful. They explained the menu and they make really fantastic cocktails. I think we ordered all wrong. The food was good, but nothing blew us away. That doesn't mean is was bad, it just wasn't what we were expecting. The sourdough pasta was a little more earthy and hearty than a typical pasta. It also seemed one dimensional. It needed some zest. (We added salt) The Cesar salad was also a little flat is flavor. Again, we had to add salt. The prawns were the best thing we had, and the sauce was really good. I couldn't bring myself to eat the eyeballs! The vibe inside is bustling, but warm and welcoming. The staff is really fantastic. The decor is nice and the bar seats are comfortable with backs on them. I definitely want to give this place another try. It looks like I should have gotten the pizza. That was on me. Next time! read more

Were in the Arts District of Las Vegas Nevada for lunch and the birthday boy wanted to try out Esther's Kitchen for brunch. So we did. Basil Ricotta Sourdough -I make sourdough and this is absulutely superd. The sourdough has perfect texture, its has that perfect crust. That basil ricotta spread is amazing with it. The bread also stands by itself. 10/10 Caccio E Peppe - A little bit on the salty side. But everything else is on point. The pepper is present. The cheese flavor is coming in really nicely. 8/10 Smoked Ocean Trout - a take on the popular gravlax and bagel. This is something extremely familiar. I did enjoy this little toastie. 9/10 Cherry Cinnamon French Toast - We asked for this to be served last as our dessert and it is phenomenal. Brioche texture is outstanding. The cherry sauce is on point and the cinnamon binds all of that awesomeness together. 10/10 The ambiance is super nice and trendy. The service was impeccable and I would highly recommend to anyone. I love you. read more

Definitely understand why Esther's can be hard to get into, it's AMAZING! The atmosphere is so cute and fun, the cocktails are delicious / unique & the food is so fresh and amazing. The house made pastas are a must. We had the Zucca & the cacio e Pepe, both are high recommendations. Also, the salads here are SO good - definitely recommend the butter lettuce salad and the Italian chopped. Our server was so helpful and friendly and the overall experience was truly fantastic. We were visiting from out of town, but will absolutely be back the next time we're in Vegas. LOVE it! read more

Esther's was a highly recommended spot and I think I need to go back and try some other things, it may have been an off day. We made a reservation for Sunday brunch. Overall, the place is very cute, great for a date, drinks with friends, I even saw a few birthday celebrations going on. The service was great, they are very attentive and helpful. I'd heard great things about their house made sourdough, but we didn't want to get too full from bread, so we decided to skip it. I regretted it when I saw almost every other table order it. We ordered Esther's chopped salad, rigatoni carbonara, and one of the pizzas. The pizza was great, best thing that we ate. We also had a few beers and a few cocktails, drinks were good. The chopped salad was extremely salty, I even picked out the salami, but it was still super salty. The carbonara on the other hand, was very under-seasoned, it just felt like I was eating plain pasta. But it may have been the saltiness of the salad that made the pasta feel the opposite. We looked around and saw some other dishes that we thought we should have tried instead, I'd like to come back and give it another try. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, and it's in the heart of downtown Las Vegas? This place is always packed because Vegas knows good food! This isn't on the strip but it can be hard to find parking. I love that's it's nearby other stores so you can walk around and explore the town after stuffing yourself I didn't have anything I didn't like Just wish their sourdough was a tiny bit softer Would definitely come back again!

3.5 stars for us. Came here due to all the review but our party all said 'nothing stood out'. It's Vegas and what seems close isn't, but that's ok, so we took a Lyft from our hotel to what I would call 'midtown' (it's not quite downtown Vegas?). Promptly seated and while I recan't recall our waiter's name, he was great the whole night. The atmosphere is also very nice......not Vegas extravagant, just a nice place to be. Wife and each had a glass of wine. For the table 1. Sourdough bread w 3 dips. Great bread, small dippers...we also agreed hummus was meh. 2. PEACH + PROSCIUTTO Pizza. Enjoyed. 3. SOURDOUGH TAGLIATELLE....for us, there was absolutely something missing in the taste; fell flat for us. 4. Mary's chicken: Enjoyed but nothing over the top, and we all said it was a bit small. 5. As it was my birthday, that brought a meyer lemon olive oil cake to the table..this was quite good, and very much appreciated. Out the door for 3 adults and 2 teenagers a bit over $200. read more

I don't frequent Vegas much but I guess it's a newer part of town, Arts District. A lot of new restaurants. We came here on a friend's recommendation. We couldn't get an evening reservation but was able to get in for lunch. Such a cool vibe. Nice yet very cozy chic. Italian flair, great pastas and the sourdough bread ... Yes! We got the chicken liver spread. Cocktails ... something BossaNova was so good. Best of all, service was fun, attentive & personable. Great honest recommendations and got a little birthday treat at the end. It's been awhile since I left full and satisfied. read more

Esther's Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was my first visit to Esther's and will certainly not be my last. This is yet another gem in the arts district. The tree house like bar upstairs is a great place to wait while you wait for your table. If you are a dirty martini fan be sure and check out the Blue N Lonesome, fantastic! It is a good idea to get a reservation, as there is a typically a line before the door even opens. The staff is welcoming and helpful with suggestions on the menu and cocktails. Food wise, I would suggest Cauliflower Alla Romana, Baked Nduja Butter Mussels, and Beef and Pork Meatballs. This is by far one of my must visits on each trip to Vegas moving forward, check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant was recommended from a friend of mine so I took my cousin for something different in Las vegas. It's located in downtown Las Vegas in the arts district. I really love the distinct feel of this new iteration of an Italian restaurant. We were seated at the bar but the good thing was we still had access to the full menu. The service I must say started off very strong however during the middle of our meal service it's sort of dropped off. We were first started with the menu that was thoroughly explained and we decided to try three different butters for the freshly made sourdough bread. The bread was very soft and had an extra crispy crunch which I loved it was presented with a cultured butter which would be good for anyone who likes the classic Taste of bread and butter. Our selections were basil ricotta, Burrata and anchovy butter. Our favorite selection ended up being the anchovy butter. I also chose to go with the baby jem salad and the futility which was a spicy crab yogurt based pasta. I was warmed by the server that it was very spicy however I think it had a medium spice level. My cousin enjoyed the big eye tuna along with Peach and prosciutto pizza. The tuna was very very good and fresh. It took quite a bit of time for the pasta and the pizza to come out. However the pizza left a lot to desire because some spots were sweet While others were salty. I would have appreciated the dish being made in a way that all of those elements could come together at the same time. Our server started off relative but by the end of our meal service was less available. Overall the food was great and I definitely would like to try other items possibly in the sit-down area. read more

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. read more

Esther's Kitchen will always be one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. The food is delicious and the cocktails are fresh. The service is always friendly and the servers seem to enjoy guiding you through the menu to ensure a wonderful dining experience. On this visit, we ordered the cauliflower appetizer, Cacio e Pepe, the Brussels sprouts, and the beet pasta special. The cauliflower is spicy and has a bite to it that is a great way to start your meal. The Brussels sprouts are crispy. The pastas here are made in house so they're always fresh and cooked perfectly. Make a reservation ahead of time as they are extremely popular and busy! read more

The upstairs looks super cozy as well and I was told by the worker they have a record player in use when they're open! read more

Finally made it into Esther's Kitchen and it did not disappoint! We made brunch reservations and were seated right away. The food was amazing. We kept going around trying to figure out what our favorites were. For a few minutes it was the pizzas, then it was the pasta, then it was the chicken parm sandwich. At the end I think we all agreed it was the side of meatballs. I'd love to try the meatball sandwich next time. (I think the quotes around the word meatball makes it look like a vegan "meatball" but was assured it's not!) The highlight was meeting the owner, Chef James Trees as we left. He was so kind and took photos with us, chatted about other restaurants and was genuinely engaged and friendly with our kids. A great meal and we will be back for another brunch or maybe dinner soon! read more

Wowzers!! This place was amazing from start to finish. The hospitality and skills to craft a top tier cocktail from Frances at the bar was the prototype of the perfect bartender, she was super welcoming and knowledgeable. We took her recommendations and went with the Meyer lemon pancakes and the crab Benedict. Both were packed with flavors , you can tell true artistry and love made these dishes. The pancakes were a style of pancakes I've never had and the Benedict was my packed with crab topped with a perfectly poached egg. We also started with the homemade sourdough and 3 spreads all were tasty but the house butter stole the show for me. The cocktails were delicious and super intricate we had 4 of them and all were different and delicious, super rad bar program. The place is nice and clean with a home feel and hip vibe. Make a reservation if you plan to come here This was definitely top 3 restaurants I've ever been to. Hats off to the Chefs and their team. I can't wait to go back and visit Huge shout out to Frances for making it a great dinning experience. Thank you for the Bday lavender affogato for my wife, that thing was incredible! read more

Came by for brunch as a walk-in and was seated in under an hour. The host was helpful and gave helpful recommendations for the menu. We started with the half-loaf sourdough bread, which was larger than expecte. The butter and spread it came with were good. Honestly, that alone was a lot of food before we even moved onto our entrees: the meatball burger and a pasta dish. The flavors overall were good, but it was a very heavy meal. Pro-tip: I'd recommend just ordering one "appetizer" (like the bread) and sharing one entree, otherwise it's just too much. The only recommendation for the restaurant was the service after we were seated. It was pretty tough to get a hold of anyone between the server's initial check-ins, to the point where I actually had to walk up to the kitchen to ask for things we needed. Great food and portions, just prepare for a heavy meal. read more

Esther's Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm only one tonight, so sat at the bar. I don't think they seat one at a table to two if you're a walk-in. Sabrina was my main server and was wonderful. However I ordered with Steve who helped me decide which pasta I would love more. Very articulate human. I recommend asking him specifically if you can't decide. :-) The agnolotti was really unique fresh and lovely. I got a side of sourdough toast - which was Smokey and strange to me because usually that means in grilled same place as meat. They explained how it's done here and no meat grill is involved so it was actually an interesting thing. After deliberation I got the untoasted ungrilled version which was great with the butter and salt. It also actually made a lot more sense with the dish soup I can soak the sauce with the bread. I would have gotten the west of eden cocktail but had a headache. They do batch make them but in house. Not sure why but when I walked in I was told it's a 20 minute wait for a seat at the bar and then when I got sat in 5 minutes I noticed a ton of spots on the bar open and some tables as well. I tend to think it's like a "thing" to have people wait in LA too - but I don't run a restaurant so not gonna assume I know anything about that. It's Monday after EDC. It was full but not insanely loud. Quite pleasant ambiance. The experience is strong overall, though the pricing is difficult to justify. I paid $52 for a pasta dish and a side of bread after tax and tip. That is more than any Italien place I have ever went to (which are all the fancy places in LA and a few around the world). I don't think that's appropriate or called for, but obviously this place is extremely successful despite that. Just something to consider. I had no idea. read more

Why have we waited so long to indulge!!!! Great vibes, great service and the fooooooood!!!

And the Pachamamma Pork Chop with pine nut calabrian chili crisp, butcher beans, and greens was our delight!

We were out and about in Vegas one night and we wanted to grab some Italian food and we just happen to get reservation to Esther's. We were so lucky that we did get a reservation because the food and experience was great! When we arrived, we were informed that we had booked our reservation for the wrong date, but they helped us get a table which we really appreciated. Once seated, our server greeted us and he was super friendly and high energy. What we really appreciated was when he went through the menu providing us with recommendations, he also shared his perspective on some dishes that didn't really stand out for him. This really helped us narrow down our order. We ordered the sourdough bread, a margherita pizza, the beef cheek, mussels, butter lettuce salad, and the Zucca. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and balanced. The sour dough bread was crusty yet fluffy. We ordered the basil ricotta, anchovy butter, and the fegatini. The fegatini was rich and mild. The anchovy butter was briny and savory, but not overwhelming. The basil ricotta was good, but the flavors were a bit too mild for me. The margherita pizza was what I was hoping for in a pizza. The crust was crusty and tender. There was also the right amount of sauce and toppings. The Zucca and it was a very robust dish. The past was perfectly al dente and the dish was quickly consumed. The mussels were very tasty and a bit spicy. After squeezing some lemon juice on each mussel, all the mussels quickly disappeared from the dish. Lastly, the beef cheek. The beef cheek was perfectly braised where the beef shredded easily and was tender, but didn't fall apart. Given that the cheeks were glazed, we were concerned that it would be overly sweet. To our surprise, the glaze, though sweet, was done very well. Pairing the beef with the polenta resulted in the perfect bite. Overall, it was one of the best meals we have had in a while. Esther's will definitely be on our list the next time we are in town. read more

The best meal I had in Vegas, with one of the best dishes I've recently had! Just gonna jump right in with the highlights of the Tallagatel and anchovy butter. Both were phenomenal, I was literally texting someone while at dinner telling them how good the anchovy butter was because I couldn't believe how perfect it was. And the pasta, if I could only have one pasta dish ever again, it might be that. The umami was uneal. On to everything else, we had a large group and decided to go family style with most of the ordering so we could try a good variety of the menu. For apps we got the sourdough bread and butter, and tried 5 of the butters/spreads. Aside from the anchovy butter, the nduja and basil ricotta were a big hit. We also ordered mussels and tuna crudo, which I loved. For mains we got a Diavola pizza for the table, crab pasta, Tallagatel, Cacao e Pepe, and Tortellini. The crab pasta was another favorite, but the Cacao e Pepe and Tortellini fell short for me. Only two flops out of everything else isn't too shabby though. Service was great and so were the drinks and wines! After dinner we hit their speakeasy bar up top and enjoyed some of the other fun and different cocktails. We sat at the bar and had a great time chatting it up with the bartenders. read more

First time here and had a great time trying all their dishes. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in giving us recommendations on what to order and we ordered several appetizers and main courses. Out of all the dishes we ordered, these are my ratings: my favorites - little gem Caesar salad 5/5 (perfect flavor and shareable portions) - peach, cheese and pastrami pizza 5/5 (pizza is perfection and I love all the different flavors of it) - Caio de pepe pasta and another corn pasta was really good. -Grilled shrimp appetizer was my all time favorite 6/5! The sauce with the bread and shrimp was IT! Loved it PASS -spaghetti and Meatballs were good but not great. Good portions but the flavor was just lacking. Spaghetti itself tasted too overpowered with the tomato sauce making it too tart. Not a fan. -pasta with curry and crab was interesting and probably more suitable for those with more adventurous taste. A few bites in and I passed on it. We also ordered the sourdough bread with three dipping sauces which was good but nothing spectacular. The sourdough itself was a bit too tough on the outside and they cut the bread thick too, but the inside is soft. Overall vibe was good. Staff is friendly and attentive and the place was packed on a weekday which is great to see. Would come back again to try out other food items. read more

Came for brunch here as it was on everyone's must try list. Casual setting and very comfortable. Service was very good and food was generous and solid. My favorite dishes were the diavola pizza and side of meatballs. Butter lettuce salad was nice. Pasta wasn't bad but a little salty (we took leftovers home then watered it down a bit and it was much better!). read more
