Awesome eatery, french food in a friendly atmosphere. Great bakery by the entrance. I am not a macaroon fan, but they looked great

Lovely desserts and macrons. Take them to go if you are full, won't regret. I promise 🤓

"Grab AMAZE desserts to go from the chic patisserie, grab a sandwich from the front-room café, or relax with friends in the main room. A downtown staple! My personal pref. is the fried pasta!" -Kate

There's so many great dishes to have and much more to get than just those macaroons everyone raves about...for another quick bite, you can't go wrong with Portabello Fries. ;0)
Kelley L.March 7, 2015
Rainbow of macarons. They can specially package desserts as gifts if you request in advance, such as the 15-piece macaron.

The portobello mushroom fries and the carbonara ❤️ very casual. Good for groups 👍🏻

Pleasantly surprised. Recommend Napoli pizza, Portobello fries w/ basic garlic sauce are fantastic. Chocolate souffle is divine, but please allow 20min for preparation. Don't forget the Macarons!
Leslie MacchiarellaAugust 6, 2015
I love their chicken cobb salad to-go. Find it in the back serve-yourself deli section. And the dressings to go with are perfection.
BollareNovember 27, 2012
Carb central – but totally worth it! This lively, fun and New York like eatery has the best pastries in town – the selection of French macaroons are to die for! -Herschel
Burt SimpsonAugust 30, 2011
Mussels very good. Scampi very very good. Linguini clam, overcooked, washy but edible. Chef too generous with garlic. You don't need as much to cook italian :) generally speaking is worth the trip!
Mert SakaAugust 27, 2014
May be crowded and noisy inside but they have the special dishes for special occasions. Don't forget to pick up some macaron before leaving for home.

TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE 👌🏼😋 they have great desserts menu
John SmartApril 2, 2012
The tip here is you should leave a good tip because the waiters rock. Also it's a swell place to eat and sometimes see ESPN personalities...and get sweets on the way out...and go back to work happy
Amber EscobedoJuly 22, 2015
I highly recommend this place, if you have a sweet tooth but don't want to spend not much or have to many extra calories that ice cream gives you. Get a macaroon!
Brian ChernickJanuary 18, 2016
Great environment for brunch. The ricotta pancakes and salmon benedict are phenomenal. Don't forget a side of roasted potatoes.
SuperbAugust 1, 2012
If you don't feel like sitting down for a full meal (or if you can't get a table), just sit in the bar area and grab some well-crafted cocktails and macarons!
Ivana KurtovićJuly 6, 2019
Wow, amazing selection of desserts, cakes and sweets! Top ofthe pops
Mercedes McLemoreAugust 20, 2012
Hands down the best brunch I've had in LA. A little pricey, but well worth it. Can't wait to have dinner here, which I've heard is also incredible.

Lobster hash was fantastic the lobster was perfectly prepared 😋
Claire KayApril 9, 2015
Trenne Pasta & Portobello fries!! Can't go wrong. You'll have left overs from the trenne and it makes a great lunch the next day.
Elizabeth JimenezNovember 24, 2012
Ooooh Eeeeem Geeeeee! This place is delicious. I can't wait to go back. Definitely getting the portobello fries & artichoke pizza again. Also desserts GALORE!!!!!
Erin SilkSeptember 12, 2015
Wood-fired thin crust pizza is great and desserts are beautiful and awesome. Huge selection of macaron flavors.

Great place for a date. The Burrata pizza is amazing and so are the Portobello fries!

Amazing restaurant, great food & great atmosphere. MUST visit if you are in LA..
LA WeeklyJanuary 30, 2015
Get there when they open at 6:30 on weekdays and you can sometimes have the place to yourself. Read more
RamOctober 11, 2015
One of the loudest and noisiest places i've ever been to. Food is really great, including the Pizza but don't count on making a normal conversation. Prices are OK, compared to the quality of the food

Nestled on the chaotic corner of Grand Avenue and 7th Street in downtown Los Angeles, Bottega Louie really knows how to enchant, intrigue, and satisfy the palate.

Lamb shank is really great if you like a lot of flavor. the salmon is also really good & it's spiced perfectly

I make it a habit to try something new everytime. The trenne is comfort food at the finest. Rich and decadent.
Benedict SweeneyMay 16, 2012
Window seat is a great way to see some interesting locals as they drift past. Portobello Fries + Brussel Sprouts sides recommended. Decent Euro style coffee. Superb service!!

The pastries scream out for your Instagram feed. After posting, try an Earl Grey macaroon; they taste like chocolate kissed essence of Fruity Pebbles.

Portobello Fries. Burrata Pizza. Trenne. Salted Caramel Macarons. Good evening; good night!
Rawan AlazzamAugust 7, 2016
Rose macaroon, the large raspberry stuffed macaroon is really good
Kelley L.August 1, 2015
Crème brûlée is a dessert with which one cannot go wrong. Fresh fruits and vanilla custard.
Angelina ZeppieriNovember 19, 2019
Tasty Italian food, plus it’s BYOB! And dessert is a must
Bruce EdwinOctober 23, 2012
I always get top notch service here and good food. Just don't go here if you want quiet dining...the LA Times ranked them as one of toe noisiest dining spots in town-which I would not disagree with
Vanity Fair AgendaJanuary 30, 2012
An Italian patisserie, market, and restaurant with everything from salads, pizzas, and pastas to a full bar and a dessert menu featuring a selection of mararons.
Tucker AustMay 14, 2017
Definitely has become a bit of a scene the last few years, but the interior is still beautiful and the beignets are outSTANDing.
eric bornemannOctober 7, 2020
Macaroons and take out pastries are the way to go here.
Judy Tamaki-MowattSeptember 16, 2016
Beautiful confectioneries, pastries, and staff are all very friendly and speak professionally. It's a piece of heaven in the middle of DTLA.
Kelley L.April 13, 2015
Macaron of the month started in March 2015, dark chocolate mint is April's and it tastes like ice cream!
Lina A.May 31, 2015
Extremely elegant place and food. Burrata pizza for main and chocolate souffle for a sweet ending, my god absolutely sublime.
JewelMintMarch 23, 2011
A great downtown restaurant with high ceilings and a beautiful large dining room—it used to be an old bank and the space is as gorgeous as the food is delicious. - Kate Bosworth
Daisy NguyenMarch 2, 2011
Mussels had just enough spicy heat - super delish! Portabella fries-oh my yummy! Oh, and in case you somehow missed the desert case on the way in, leave room for desert!
Lisa ReedOctober 31, 2011
I discovered this gem on CicLAVia. I bought a sandwich to go and a little chocolate, vanilla mousse and fruit parfait for dessert. Took it to the park for picnic.
