Bottega Louie - Downtown Los Angeles

“Very nice restaurant. The service was great and food was pretty good. Good size servings. I had the Matcha Latte and a Hamburger with Cheese. All was good except you do have to sweeten the Latte, which they accompanied with a Raw Sugar packet and alternate sweetener packet. And the burger I just wish was a bit for flavorful but overall good enough. Definitely enough to make me full. And our server was very pleasant and attentive. I would definitely return. I also got a dessert on the way out, a Peanut Butter Chocolate cheesecake that looks delicious but haven't tried it yet. But when I do I'll update my review. And prices were pretty reasonable on everything. There is a parking structure across the street and being at the restaurant for 2 and 1/2 hrs cost $9 for parking in the structure.”

“My partner and I had a reservation for this restaurant and as soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the smell of desserts and snacks. The style of the restaurant is immaculate as there's a golden/white sparkling when entering, similar to marble type environment, super modern and well designed. Parking is a bit limited, no designated structure or lot but plenty of paid parking lots across/nearby to accommodate, not too expensive. Since we had a reservation, we were seated super quick even though it was quite busy. Service was great, our server checked up on us on our order and refills very often along with ordering speed. We ordered a margarita pizza, omelette, and a "must try" Portobello Fries, all shareable dishes. Pizza was bigger than expected but it was super delicious with a nice crunchy crust. Omelette is well cooked and has good portions. Although I feel like there was too much veggies and less of the omelette, nonetheless, still pretty yummy. Lastly, the Portobello Fries were an absolute treat, as someone who loves mushrooms and fries, this was a perfect combo. Highly recommend even for non mushroom lovers. Only downside to the fries is the container that it comes in, although great aesthetic, the pieces that fall off can easily make a mess on the table, not a huge downside but one to look at. After the meal, we took a look at the bakery and we were enamored with the amount of macaron choices, a huge variety and super affordable. There were plenty of other desserts but we were too full to continue! We will definitely be back to try other menu items and bakery catalogs. Food was amazing, dessert is plentiful, service is great, and environment is perfect for a date setting.”

“The menu offered a great variety, and everything lived up to expectations. The Margherita Pizza was a standout, and both the Classic Cheeseburger and Chicken Parmesan were delicious. They also have excellent dessert options. The entry is stunning, with a charming cafe and a beautiful pastry area. The dining area is elegant and upscale with a modern touch. The service was amazing, with a special shout-out to the talent behind the pizza oven. It's a great spot perfect for any time of day. It’s a must-visit when in LA.”

“Really loved this place. It was a restaurant, bakery, and coffee shop all at once but had the best of all the worlds. The restaurant was amazing with the decor beautiful and simple. Food was delicious base on Italian style pizza, pastas etc. The bakery had the most sweetest dessert one can ask for. Definitely a great celebration of our anniversary. Absolutely recommend this place for a date if any type from casual coffee/ bakery date to anniversary celebration. 15/10”

“If you are looking for a dining spot in downtown Los Angeles that manages to feel both grand and welcoming, Bottega Louie deserves every bit of its reputation. From the moment you step into the soaring white and marble dining room, you feel a sense of energy that makes even a casual meal feel like an event. The open kitchen, polished brass accents, and soft lighting give it a glamorous brasserie feel without tipping into pretension. It’s always bustling, filled with a mix of locals, tourists, and people celebrating something, and somehow the service still keeps pace with calm precision. What makes Bottega Louie unique is how well it bridges two worlds. It’s a full restaurant and bar, but also a world class patisserie. The display case alone stops people in their tracks, filled with jewel toned pastries and their famous macarons. The macarons are exceptional, crisp on the outside and tender in the center, with flavors like pistachio, lemon, and salted caramel that actually taste as described rather than just sweet. The savory menu is equally strong. The burrata pizza with prosciutto di Parma and rapini is a standout, perfectly balanced between creamy and salty. The tagliatelle with beef ragu is rich and deeply flavored, and their beignets at brunch might be the best in the city. Bottega Louie sits in a beautifully restored early twentieth century building that feels perfectly at home in the heart of downtown’s revival. It’s one of those rare places that captures what makes Los Angeles dining exciting right now. Whether you’re stopping in for a full meal or just a coffee and pastry, it’s impossible not to be impressed.”
