Esther's Kitchen · Arts District
Esther's Kitchen serves Italian food in a larger Arts District room than its original location. Start with meatballs and sourdough dressed with toppings such as anchovy butter or Calabrian salami. The pasta menu includes mafalda in a lightly spicy amatriciana, and the kitchen also makes pizza on sourdough crust.
Mother Wolf Las Vegas · The Strip
Evan Funke brings Roman cooking to Mother Wolf at Fontainebleau. Fried ricotta squash blossoms make a start before pasta such as cacio e pepe. The large dining room suits a dinner built around several courses.
Carbone Riviera · The Strip
Carbone turns an Aria dinner into a theatrical red-sauce meal. The dining room serves familiar Italian-American dishes with a polished touch, including spicy rigatoni vodka. The large room and tableside service make it a place to settle in rather than rush through pasta.
La Strega · Summerlin
Gina Marinelli changes the menu at La Strega in Summerlin, drawing on family traditions from Lake Como and Sicily. Pasta and seasonal plates keep the kitchen moving between northern and southern Italian cooking in a neighborhood dining room.
Piero's Italian Cuisine · Convention Center
Piero's has served Italian food in Las Vegas since 1982. Oversized leather booths set the scene for a long trattoria dinner, with familiar red-sauce dishes and an old-school dining room close to the Strip.
