Another person at our table got the Gorgonzola pasta which he absolutely loved. Another friend ordered a cocktail which she said was strong and delicious.

An added bonus is if you dine in the evening during the bellagio water fountain show and score a table by the window with a view. This was the first time I had a bread basket where the assortment had bread rolls with meat and spread layered in them. I think one bread roll even had pesto! How innovative is that? Drinks and appetizer was good. The pasta is made by hand and was delicious. You can never go wrong with a blackness sauce over Papperdelle.

Whenever I go to Vegas I try to support local businesses off the strip. On our last night instead…read moreof going to an Italian restaurant on the strip, we searched for Italian restaurants and came upon Ferraro's. They start you off with bread which were not very tasty. They were a bit dry and lacking in flavor. It was a shame because they give you a small container filled with olive oil to dip your bread in. We ordered a glass of Barolo and the Dante's Infante cocktail. The cocktail was refreshing and strong. My husband wanted to try wine but there werent many options for wines sold by the glass and there was only one option for Baralos so he ordered that. The Baralo was just average for $30 per glass and it was unfortunate that there weren't more options to choose from. We ordered the Polpo ( octopus) appetizer. The flavors were well balanced and the pureed canellini beans paired well with the octopus but the octopus was too cold. Not sure if it was supposed to be served like but I've never had octopus that cold before and the consistency was a bit harder because of the temperature. For our entrees, we ordered the pappardelle with lobster, scallops and truffle. The pasta was perfectly al dente and amazing. There were 2 beautifully cooked and tender scallops. There were a few garnishes of truffle that were shaved thick enough that I was able to chew into the texture. I wish there were larger pieces as the shaved pieces were small sized in diameter. But overall the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. This was far the best dish. We also ordered the Branzino which I wish I hadn't because there was a very wierd flavor profile.. I ordered it thinking it was going to have crispy skin but the skin was very soggy. It seems they changed the method of cooking the branzino as compared to previous photos uploaded by other yelpers. I was a bit disappointed when the branzino came out because the whole fish was butterflied ( sliced in half with tail in tact) and looked like the skin side had at one point been fried but it was soggy and soaked in the sauce. I was not particularly a fan of the sauce. I tasted a strong flavor profile of cinnamon for some reason even though there was no cinnamon mentioned on the menu. Two of the ingredients listed was guanciale and taragon. One of two ingredients may have been the flavors I tasted which did not pair well with the fish. It ruined the natural flavor of the fish as they overpowered the natural flavor of the branzino. Any time I get a chance to order the Branzino, I am usually satisfied or impressed but have never been disappointed. I think my favorite restaurants where I had exceptionally cooked branzinos were on the Vegas strip. At one of restaurants on the strip which I have ordered numerous times and is a very well known restaurant which I will name nameless ...it was cooked similarly, butterflied, in a buttery lemon sauce but the skin was still crispy. A second restaurant on the strip... the branzino was smoked and roasted on charcoal with a tomato based sauce. I guess I can't help but compare because this restaurant is priced similar to two very popular restaurants on the strip but fell short. Our waiter Diego was great and best personality and made our experience memorable. Overall the best dishe was the handmade pasta. The lack of options for wine by the glass was a bit saddening. The cocktail was unique and strong. But I regret getting the branzino. I am not sure I would go back

Esther's Kitchen has finally been ticked off of my Vegas must-visit list! Getting a dinner…read morereservation 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!

This place on paper is one of the highest rated restaurants outside of the strip. As of now 4.8/5…read moreon both google and Yelp with almost 1000 reviews on each platform. So this place when we saw the reviews and pictures we thought this was going to be a great spot to goto even though it's 20 minutes away from the strip. Before our arrival, we called and placed a reservation the day before and accommodated our reservation with our party thankfully. Upon arrival, we were greeted well, the family provided great and friendly customer service right off the bat. The menu size is good, and solid appetizers and entrees to choose from. The complementary bread was good with the olive oil pesto sauce they brought with it. The mozzarella appetizer was good and the fettuccine Alfredo was fine. This place does everything well. The restaurant being very small, they've managed to make the seating comfortable and decently spacious. Service is great, wait time after ordering can be a bit long but it is made to order and it's a small family restaurant. The only problem I have and unfortunately for now it's a deal breaker for me is the lack of flavor, it's obvious when immediately digging into the sauce. Quality, texture, temperature it's all there but there's no flavor from the Tomato sauce in the mozzarella and definitely lacking flavor in the Alfredo sauce. I tried adding black pepper and Parmesan to the Alfredo and it improved the texture, but still flavorless. Prices are great, portions are huge, I think this is good spot for nearby locals but not worth going out of your way trying this spot at least at this moment. It definitely isn't a nearly perfect score, it's a solid 4/5 with only 1 issue it needs to greatly focus on improving. Also they should consider reducing the portions because it's quite a lot of food, should cut down on cost and time, sometimes less is more.

Cauliflower & salami came out too but I didnt try it Spicy Rigatoni Vodka + Meatball add-on (4.5/5): Both were delicious. No option to add chicken so i ordered a side of meatballs which is not on the menu ($10 per meatball). For $36, the vodka pasta should come with a protein. Tortellini Ragu (3/5): Loved the ragu sauce & meat, I felt the tortellini was a little too rich but I think thats personal preference. Couldve came with more meat for $38. I wouldnt order again Tiramisu (5/5): Soooo good, definitely recommend. its enough for two people Tip: Make reservations in advance as its very popular.

We booked ours three weeks ahead and only got lucky because someone had canceled their booking. Once we were seated, I noticed how they have different rooms and sections with plenty of seating, giving the restaurant a really cool atmosphere. We sat by the bar and started off with some great drinks. They also provided complimentary appetizers, which were amazing, especially the cheese! I highly recommend getting the calamari as it was very light yet flavorful. We also ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, which is their infamous pasta and genuinely made for an amazing meal. The lobster ravioli was also very good, featuring a generous amount of lobster. However, we liked the salmon but we just heavily preferred the other dishes we received. As for dessert, we ended our meal with the tiramisu, which was very good and the perfect way to wrap up our dinner. I will say that as much as I enjoyed the food, I wasn't particularly happy with the service. Our bartender completely forgot about us for a bit and even took one of our plates before we were finished or able to say anything, which was quite disappointing. Still, a memorable birthday dinner spot!

We had reservations at 5pm so it wasn't busy yet. The dining was very nicely furnished. They have about the same amount of seating on the patio as in the dining room with a bar and high top tables in the middle. I asked if the White Truffle Garlic Bread could be made gluten free. I was so happy to hear that they can. I felt like I had died and gone to cheesy heaven.before I developed my wheat allergy I ordered garlic bread anywhere it was in the menu. It's one of my favorite foods. So when I say theirs is quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life, it means something. We ordered family style for the entrees. We ordered the Bolognese Pappardelle, Strozzapreti, Ricotta Cavatelli( subbed gf pasta), Chicken Scarpariello and Short Rib Lumache. They were all absolutely delicious. Dessert did not disappoint either. We ordered the Brookie sundae and the Tiramisu. I couldn't have the Tiramisu but I was told that it was great. The Brookie sundae was a fun dessert. It came with vanilla, pistachio and chocolate gelato, whip and some sort of cake on the bottom. I didn't go all the way down because of my stupid allergy again. The gelatos were all good. It came with a side dish with strawberries and nuts and little chocolate balls. I can't wait to go back again. Next time I'll tell the rest of the table to get their own garlic bread so I don't have to share mine. I'll have dreams about that bread. So heavenly!!!!

The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka had the perfect amount of spice not too spicy, but enough to give it great flavor.
