I could just eat the bread and butter, but the lemon ricotta pancakes are good too.
Crab beignets are new to the menu! Soooo scrumptious! Try pairing with the kale sprouts and even truffle mashed potatoes!
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
Ron TippmanJune 25, 2012Their hand tossed pizza is amazing. We sat in the back next to the pizza making which is a really cool area to sit.. Loved there pastas also.
Haleema HumaidSeptember 14, 2014Best brunch downtown 👍 desserts are TDF pizzas are made in front of you
Cindy StapOctober 25, 2014I had the braised shortribs...fantastic dish.it came with polenta that had marscopone folded in
Katherine M.August 26, 2014My aunt Shalese says, "A beautiful place if just to look. I have never eaten there except cocktails (very good) and macarons (good)."- Nicole DelaneyFebruary 21, 2012Portobello fries, pizza, & strawberry shortcake were all awesome. Grabbed a few macaroons on my way out and they were amazing as well. Great find!
- Kelley L.January 31, 2015They change their macaron tree displays and add seasonal desserts every month/holiday. So pretty!
This Italian restaurant is as close as Italy as you can get... plus, they have macarons... where else can you get great food and macarons??
Maya ByrneJanuary 6, 2019The caramel macaroon was the best! Others were ok. Beautiful inside although VERY crowded
- Patrick McMullenDecember 14, 2019This is a can’t miss on anything place. Items as simple as table bread and pepperoni pizza is fantastic.
Natalia KrystelJuly 20, 2018Expensive but nice trendy place in Dtla for lunch or dinner. Macarons and key lime pie are too good.
Make sure to order the chocolate souffle, A MUST, when you order your entrees as well so you can have dessert without waiting for the preparation time!
BravoNovember 12, 2010It is so elegant inside but the food is reasonably priced and delicious. It's the kind of place you could eat at once or twice a week. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts
Hunter ThomasApril 2, 2015Trendy spot with lots of dessert options. Best for sharing pizza or pasta dishes. Big, loud, crowded restaurant.
HajarAugust 23, 2016Portobello fries, brussels sprouts, pizza, pomodoro spaghetti and for dessert salted caramel budino
Isabel PadronOctober 1, 2014Pizza, pasta, dessert,drinks. Everything is delicious here I don't think there is one bad thing on the menu
Ryan AlexanderNovember 18, 2013They don't take reservations so be ready to wait a little while at the restaurant. You can check out the macaroons and other desserts though while you wait.
PILAR PRENDESMarch 22, 2015Great drinks! Portobello fries!is a must! Macaroons! And desserts!!! Love the pizza also!
Jason AmansecOctober 20, 2012Bakery, 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?
Edward ForteOctober 22, 2014Breakfast here is also very good. Freshly squeezed orange juice, ricotta pancakes, and smoked salmon benedict
Pricey but good food and bread. Definitely a must at least once, but your wallet will take a hit
Connie ChiuJanuary 4, 2015Earl grey, speeculous, and rose macaroons are like magic. Speeennnsive though.
Jessica TannerJune 19, 2013The chicken Parmesan was amazing! Be prepared to share with someone or take home a 2nd meal!
R BusDecember 6, 2013Macarons and pastries are pretty good. Portobello fries are yummy. The pizza is just ok...crust is a little thick for a thin crust. Prefer the thin crust pizzas in SF Bay Area.
TrishAugust 26, 2014Exceptional service, even with large groups. And of course, get a box of macarons! Earl grey is thee best.
Jeff SarnatJanuary 2, 2012I lived in Paris for 18 months, and the macarons here are the best I've had in the US, and almost as good as Pierre Hermé Paris.
Alicia KosasihJanuary 4, 2013Best Earl Grey Macaroons! Pastries are delish but I had better ones somewhere else. Sandwiches were okay. Strawberry over Sable was pretty tasty. Definitely check out their macaroons if you're here.
Leslie MacchiarellaOctober 7, 2011Wear ear plugs because the marble makes the acoustics bad and wear sunglasses because it's too bright but perfect espresso, perfect little Italian desserts in a nice restored downtown building.
Drea CastroMay 3, 2011The salted caramel cupcakes are incredible- never thought I could have salt with caramel but ever since I had this cupcake I'm obsessed with salted caramel everything ... Mmmmm- Edward ForteMay 22, 2013Their bakery is beautifully displayed with stunning desserts but the star are the macaroons with full flavored crispy cookies
David KAugust 1, 2015Everything is good - had clam linguini which was excellent also portobello fries
JennNovember 7, 2011For $7 or less you can get a well balanced healthy meal without the grease and a gourmet coffee to go. Great healthy food, cheap, and quick too!
JustinJune 5, 2015Always enjoyed its atmosphere. Never ate a meal there but their dessert and macaroons? Must try.
Pizza margarita & Night in Oaxaca. Very quick. Delicious & perfect for lunch meetings in #dtla #SharetheSilence
Reed JamesDecember 5, 2013Try the Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon - #amazing pasta shells melt in your mouth. Perfect #splurge small plate.
EsFebruary 1, 2015Great window watching in bar area. You can order full menu and desserts at the bar and avoid the acoustically enhanced main dining area.
Alfredo LomeliAugust 5, 2013The tuna sandwich is delicious! It's probably one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend it!
Gail HJune 1, 2014You can just go with the small plates and be happy. Brussel sprouts, crab beignets, bruschetta...
Delicious Macaroons! Try the salted caramel, chocolate mint, or lemon Macaroons.
Sheryl LinnAugust 20, 2013Great for Brunch. The Eggs Benedict is really good and the Bloody Mary is perfect! Noisy fun crowd.
Brian GarridoNovember 19, 2012Mushroom Fries. Get a corner table by the pizza station. Great view of the dining room, almost like being at home in NYC>

"Amazing agnolotti: Agnolotti alla Vaccinara, made with cacao pasta, are melt in your mouth, tender, sweet, savory, comforting tummy smiles on a plate."
Doug de Wet - 8.9
"Modeled on neighborhood Creole Italian places from New Orleans, so along with the burrata salad you get oyster po' boys, crawfish garnishing grilled fish, and fried shrimp with artichokes."
Los Angeles Times - 8.4
"I recommend this place. Although located in an "edgy" part of DTLA, it's worth it. Delicious northern Italian cuisine. Hand made pasta (owners are Italian). Nice ambiance. Prices are reasonable."
