Duygu Alptekin GursuMarch 31, 2017Try the grand macaron vanilla with raspberries, you will thank me:-)
Herb SeitzSeptember 2, 2014Great pizza and dessert - atmosphere had a good vibe but a bit too noisy.
Burrata and rapini pizza w prosciutto is one of the best things I've ever out in my mouth.
Mohammad NOctober 25, 2013The mushroom pizza is too delicious! Same goes to the vanilla cupcakeGreat atmosphere
Jen VMay 30, 2012They have great pastas here, and also have a small bakery which makes yummy macaroons.
Bill DevlinJanuary 6, 2012I love this Place....Great food and bakery... and man to they pack em in!!! how many people does this place seat? 500?
Maddy CaguladaApril 15, 2015Of course you after you're done eating you need to purchase a box of macaroons!
Kay 5July 29, 2015Good restaurant? yes! but because of all the reviews and recommendations I expected more!
Carlos RoyalApril 17, 2012Get there before 7 pm for a shorter wait for dinner. There WILL be a wait, but it'll be shorter.
Alainna DepoaloJuly 14, 2012Cute shop, friendly service, great looking pastries... The jelly for the toast was superb.
Ramp CreativeMarch 30, 2010Check out Bottega Louie's beautiful packaging and consistent branding across their restaurant and gourmet market, designed by Fausthaus. We buy boxes of macarons just for the elegant box! Read more
Le grand macaron is the must have dessert! Raspberry with vanilla ice cream inside. Too die for!
fell instantly in love with this place! portobello fries, tuna nicoise crostinis, and baked goods are yuuuuummy!
Prince NabonkyOctober 31, 2014They've got delicious pastries Crowded place. Good food but no exceptional!!!
Regina ChristianDecember 29, 2012Go to the bar whilst you wait to be seated. Order the Moulin Rouge. It was amazing.
Israel SushmanMay 25, 2014Excellent food, but very noisy. Sit in the back if you prefer it a little quieter.
Sam AmiriJune 3, 2010Any time you go Downtown, make sure to stop here! Awesome pizza, awesome service, awesome drinks, awesome atmosphere. Simply put: Awesome.
Roland AllenApril 21, 2010I met an old roommate for brunch who was visiting from the Bay Area. It's easy to get here. Parking in the lots on weekends is about $3-$5. Street parking is $4/hr - so don't bother.
Kelly BoneDecember 31, 2012Bottega Louie is the closest to NYC coal oven style pizza you'll find in LA.
Portobello fries, caprese salad, meat balls and butterscotch budino are among my favorites. So amazing.
rosie (siman) yakobFebruary 8, 2014Portobello mushroom fries are so freaking tasty. Get them. Really.
MazdaDecember 6, 2010They've got delicious pastries and tapas plates. But what you really have to try is their portobello mushroom fries.
naveenJanuary 22, 2012told it was a must-try in LA, it's massive in every way: the space, the menu, the drinks.
Try the Eggs Benedict - #freshingredients #verygood best Eggs Benedict anywhere. 4000 reviews on Yelp, thanks!
Jason YoongAugust 12, 2010Best italian food in LA, great service and amazing New York-like atmosphere- Clam pizza- White beans and sausage- Squash- Meatballs
Cade FallAugust 25, 2012THE ABSOLUTE LOUDEST restaurant in all of LA. Perfect for romantic evening, provided you and your loved one are both deaf.
julie rajagopalAugust 6, 2012If you ever get the asparagus and poached eggs, beware: the sauce that comes on the side is not balsamic vinaigrette. It's some weird fish sauce with chunks of sardines.
david deckerFebruary 7, 2010pizzas 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
Martha SantiagoOctober 31, 2011This is a restaurant/bakery. The pizza is really good (neopolitan style). The macaroons are yummy.
Eugene "chuck" BogoradSeptember 5, 2017Service 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.
