    If you're not sure, try the Lasagna Bolognese, the Meatball Parmesan sliders, the Shrimp Scampi, and of course, the Portobello Fries. Read more

    Great pizza and dessert - atmosphere had a good vibe but a bit too noisy.

    Try the macarons. They're less expensive when purchased at the bakery portion instead of at the table for dessert. Get 8 assorted for about $15.

    Bakery, cafe, full bar, and restaurant in a central location. Is it so hard to see that, with everything covered, Bottega Louie attracts tons of people everyday?

    This is a restaurant/bakery. The pizza is really good (neopolitan style). The macaroons are yummy.

    Pistachio and lemon macaroons are to die. Vanilla latte here among the best I've ever had. Food is delish!

    Service is not very attentive (missed our salad), slow. Atmosphere is great (but very loud - not suitable for a meeting). Food is a joke. Carbonara had cream in it! Tiramisu was almost all butter.

    LA [Eat] Craving Italian? Loud, open and spacious with fine desserts. The macarons are made from their in-house bakery.

    the best macarons you can find in LA. the selection diminishes by the hour, so try to hit them up before late dinner.

    If you're looking for a quiet place for dinner, this isn't it. High ceilings and marble floors amplify everything.

    Bottega Louie is the closest to NYC coal oven style pizza you'll find in LA.

    pizzas are good, not too bready like Mozza, not ethereal like Madeo or Angelini, but better than Terroni and the like; friendly staff, place is packed but a solid stop for anyone downtown

    They've got delicious pastries and tapas plates. But what you really have to try is their portobello mushroom fries.

    Raspberry Macaroons are the best (even though Earl Grey is prettier). Pappardelle is also fantastic.
