NouraAugust 31, 2015The best restaurant in downtown LA 👌🏽 try their fried mushroom and all kind of pizza are amazing
Sofia UzOctober 18, 2015Awesome eatery, french food in a friendly atmosphere. Great bakery by the entrance. I am not a macaroon fan, but they looked great
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالOctober 24, 2016Lovely desserts and macrons. Take them to go if you are full, won't regret. I promise 🤓
cocoMarch 31, 2015charming, colorful, delicious pastries. windows and displays could almost be in a wes anderson film. an impressive array of treats.
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)
valoli 🦊July 1, 2016Love this place... Not cheap at all but all is super tasty and with the nicest presentations... i recommend all that have chocolate!!
Kelley L.March 7, 2015Rainbow of macarons. They can specially package desserts as gifts if you request in advance, such as the 15-piece macaron.
- المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالOctober 24, 2016The portobello mushroom fries and the carbonara ❤️ very casual. Good for groups 👍🏻
BollareMarch 30, 2012"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
Christopher RMarch 14, 2018Nice breakfast with good espresso. Try the avo toast with chorizo and poached egg 😍
Leslie MacchiarellaAugust 6, 2015I love their chicken cobb salad to-go. Find it in the back serve-yourself deli section. And the dressings to go with are perfection.
G .December 3, 2011Pleasantly 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!
- BollareNovember 27, 2012Carb 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
Mert SakaAugust 27, 2014May 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.
Burt SimpsonAugust 30, 2011Mussels 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!
Amber EscobedoJuly 22, 2015I 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!
John SmartApril 2, 2012The 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
"Night in Oaxaca" cocktail with #Mezcal El Silencio. The best choice!! #pizza #prosciutto great place in #dtla #SharetheSilence 🐇
Brian ChernickJanuary 18, 2016Great environment for brunch. The ricotta pancakes and salmon benedict are phenomenal. Don't forget a side of roasted potatoes.
Mercedes McLemoreAugust 20, 2012Hands 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.
SuperbAugust 1, 2012If 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!
Claire KayApril 9, 2015Trenne 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, 2012Ooooh Eeeeem Geeeeee! This place is delicious. I can't wait to go back. Definitely getting the portobello fries & artichoke pizza again. Also desserts GALORE!!!!!
AyⓂ️aN🇸🇦 أيمن ♎️June 1, 2016Amazing restaurant, great food & great atmosphere. MUST visit if you are in LA..
RamOctober 11, 2015One 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
Erin SilkSeptember 12, 2015Wood-fired thin crust pizza is great and desserts are beautiful and awesome. Huge selection of macaron flavors.
Westin Hotels & ResortsApril 18, 2014Nestled 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.
Wassel MAugust 26, 2016Lamb 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.
Great place for a date. The Burrata pizza is amazing and so are the Portobello fries!
Portobello Fries. Burrata Pizza. Trenne. Salted Caramel Macarons. Good evening; good night!
The pastries scream out for your Instagram feed. After posting, try an Earl Grey macaroon; they taste like chocolate kissed essence of Fruity Pebbles.
- Kelley L.August 1, 2015Crème brûlée is a dessert with which one cannot go wrong. Fresh fruits and vanilla custard.
Tucker AustMay 14, 2017Definitely has become a bit of a scene the last few years, but the interior is still beautiful and the beignets are outSTANDing.
Benedict SweeneyMay 16, 2012Window 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!!
Bruce EdwinOctober 23, 2012I 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- Kelley L.April 13, 2015Macaron of the month started in March 2015, dark chocolate mint is April's and it tastes like ice cream!
Judy Tamaki-MowattSeptember 16, 2016Beautiful confectioneries, pastries, and staff are all very friendly and speak professionally. It's a piece of heaven in the middle of DTLA.
Lina A.May 31, 2015Extremely elegant place and food. Burrata pizza for main and chocolate souffle for a sweet ending, my god absolutely sublime.
JewelMintMarch 23, 2011A 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
I could just eat the bread and butter, but the lemon ricotta pancakes are good too.
Daisy NguyenMarch 2, 2011Mussels 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!
Léna Le RollandSeptember 11, 2014One of my fav place in LA. Everything is amazing, the place, the food ! You're going to like it ! Enjoy
