DeLisa ForemanJanuary 11, 2015Words can not describe this place the food the ambiance everything is amazing. Food is perfect. The desserts all are great the macaroons omg. Perfect date place. My favorite place in los angeles
Upvoted 1 day ago- Fabio T.October 17, 2015I've tried the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which is incredible and very tasteful. It comes on top of hashed brown instead of bread, brilliant! Good selection of drinks and desserts of course. Packed Sat.
Travel + LeisureSeptember 21, 2012A morning pastry shop/market, lunchtime café, and all-day dining room decked out in marble and French antiques—you’ll swear it’s the Parisian patisserie Ladurée. Try the perfect pizzas and macarons.
Lana VenturaJune 11, 2018Outstanding food and service! I got the smoked salmon egg Benedict and farmer market vegetables 2 days in a row and both were delicious. Pâtisseries are obviously very nice. Highly recommend it!
the portobello fries are a must try, and the poached egg and asparagus. Always take a few macarons to go. You won't regret it... try a rose flavored one.
Kelley L.March 5, 2016Chocolates are $2.00/piece, but some of the best chocolates I have eaten. Pictured: dark chocolate, mint, Earl Grey, Bailey's, feuilletine, gianduja, and coconut. I recommend for gifts.
Hana NesbittAugust 8, 2016Beautiful atmosphere - like walking into a movie. But it's not just looks, brunch is delicious! Smoked salmon eggs benedict & beignets are the way to go. Only bummer is it does get noisy...
Bright and lively, always nice for an afternoon cocktail and snack. If you like cocktails on the sweet side, try the Moulin Rouge, made with fresh raspberries and a hint of elderflower.
Salem S.May 3, 2017Best macrons I've tried before. There are two dine in sections, one for dessert and coffee and the other for the full kitchen.
Reed JonesApril 17, 2015All of it was good now matter how hard I tried to find the bad stuff. Beignets, macarons, cherry eclairs, tasty pasta, cookies, croissants, and lemonade all brought joy to my mouth and tummy.
Yunus Emre KocakMay 18, 2015One of the classy locations in LA downtown and very nice place. As everybody says; try portobello fries, for the rest you will not be sorry:) turk arkadaslar, portobello fries deneyin:)
The Burrata and the Portobello Fries sent me to food heaven. Also. Bottega Louie has turned me into a macaron convert. 💜💛💚💙❤️ Plus points for the branding and really nice packaging.
TurkySal ✨✨August 16, 2017This place is gorgeous! Try the carbonara pasta and portobello fries. Before you head out, take some macarons to go 💙💙
Dëva HolikFebruary 1, 2015Amazing restaurant with great bread and pasta. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu including the hand crafted drinks. Make sure you try their pizza and whole fish.
Mohammed Al-AbdullahJanuary 20, 2020Their menus is full of delicious treasures! I tried their tomato bruschetta and pan fried pasta and I was blown away! Macrons are also delicious here, definitely go for their rose and salted caramel.
Great brunch, great food, amazing desserts. Glad that they have finally made the tarts softer. For a long time I always needed a knife to cut with struggle, now can be easily eaten with just a fork!
Veronica ChaviraJuly 13, 2018Amazing spot for a formal dinner or to grab a delicious prosciutto baguette sandwich and there is always a macaroon to celebrate every occasion. I especially like the birthday cake macaroon!
Julia ParkSeptember 24, 2014Macarons here are are absolutely, insanely good. I'm a huge fan of Pierre Hermes, and haven't been able to find macarons that match theirs until today. Bottega Louie FTW (all flavors are fabulous)
Great place to eat and have coffee whenever u r in DTLA area！Pizza is so good so are the salads, pasta, steak, and chicken Milanese！U must order portobello fries！To die for！
Ms HeleneJanuary 19, 2015Roasted cod with clams and mussels in a white wine cream sauce with sautéed leeks and flattened fingerlings $30. Start with burrata tomato caprese!
- Suzanne PhanFebruary 3, 2015Love. Love.Love. Lots of lovely delicate pastries. Ask for the complimentary sparkling water, order a pastry or two, sit by the cafe window and read a newspaper or people watch.
TeresaJune 16, 2016This place is gorgeous! Try the spaghetti bolognese and the roasted chicken. Before you head out, take some macarons to go. Love the flavours, especially the violet and mango.
XJanuary 31, 2013A must-visit in DTLA. Great atmosphere, excellent food. Very nice spot if you want something different. BL is really very noisy but you wouldn't want it to be quiet, it's just that kind of place;)
Ahmad Al-kSeptember 10, 2016Modena salad!! Pizza and lamb chunk r really good well balanced taste!! Selection of dessert and Fresh bakeries are just perfect!!!
BollareNovember 28, 2012Grab 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!
Daniel HernandezApril 23, 2012Their pastries are delicious, but people forget how amazing their dinners are! I had a steak, grilled asparagus and their eggplant parmesan and really enjoyed it.
Fatma GencOctober 13, 2014Beautiful venue, nice staff and awesome American French food. Wanted to have breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner all day everyday here.
Mia DominguezFebruary 22, 2015i have dreams of their ravioli filled with ricotta and egg...perfect pastries, great food and service is decent although they're constantly crowded. love this place!
Otis College of Art and DesignSeptember 26, 2012Its high ceilings alone make it worth the trip. Housed in a former downtown dept. store, its glass display cases present amazing pastries and its bistro covers breakfast, L, + D. Perfect Cuzco Smash!
AmateurConciergeAugust 6, 2016Grandiose space makes you feel like you're in a large Italian coffee house, but for the discerning macaron eater: the macaroons are NOT up to snuff
BaharehJanuary 29, 2016An authentic old fashion restaurant, yet classic and stylish. True to Carbonara. Lovely atmosphere and best customer service.
Alicia BuczekAugust 26, 2014The vanilla eclairs are unbelievable. The food is delicious and sizes are outstanding for the price. Very cute and LA chic place! Extremely recommend Bottega Louie!- BollareMarch 30, 2012Grab 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
Z E H YoonAugust 25, 2013Acoustic is not at all good for a meeting or a social chat. Come in, order, then either keep your mouth closed or scream if you're there to chat :) Otherwise, very fun place with great desserts.
Stavria K.June 13, 2018This egg burger had me from hello! Amazing Iced Soy Vanilla Latte but the beignets with raspberry sauce were a little bit sour for me! My bestie loved them!
maria jJune 22, 2015Great salad options and deserts are a must! They are so rich and tasty, you can tell they make them right there!
- maria jJune 22, 2015The food is really delicious! I recommend trying the walnut salad, something about that dressing. Wish they had a location on the Westside..
StephJanuary 25, 2013Expect a wait of atleast an hour on weekends, even if it's a late dinner. Amazing burrata pizza, portobello fries and tuna carpaccio. Also a full bar for some classy cocktails.
Shani AdiaSeptember 26, 2013Come ready for dessert. And for pre-dessert, try the mushroom fries, meatballs, and lamb shank. Their dessert display is heavenly, and they had my fav wine too :)
Though I've only checked in twice, I've actually grubbed here many times before. I always seem to order the side dish, Asparagus with Poached Egg. If you're a fan of asparagus, try-no get it!
Beautiful desserts! They are definitely tempting and attractive. Cocktails options are nice. A variety of small plates, salads and Italian dishes are available.
Catherine LAugust 3, 2013I love their portobello fries and thin crust pizza!! Their macarons are whatever to me, but their hazelnut brownie is amazing! Pretty chic atmosphere but a little loud for my taste
Social News NetworkJune 17, 2012Downtown environment and scrumptious food. While you wait, you can watch the chefs prepare food right before your eyes. Order an espresso, and don't leave without a box of truffles!
La CjargneleOctober 14, 2014Although, I still haven't found real Italian food in LA so far, I am pleased to taste good local burrata, and prosciutto di Parma (we cut it thinner though). 😉
DeeJuly 14, 2019Truffle pizza was really delicious, it tastes different than any other pizza, Modena Salad was overrated, their hamburger was really yummy and juicy i forgot what pasta was this but its tastes okay
Adrian PhillipsDecember 20, 2014A complete shit show on the weekends, definitely an attraction for visiting folks Downtown. The food is still good, so grab a seat out front and try some portobello fries with a side of meatballs.

"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."
