I was taken to Bottega Louie along with my mother in law for mothers day. I was so surprised to walk into this festive very hip restaurant. More NY in style then the usual LA watering holes. It's loud, busy but with great service. This place knows how to do it right. We never had to ask for anything. The... More

Coffee bar, meets bakery, meets pizzeria, meets restaurant. Great fun, great food, great service, all hours of the day and night. If you can't get a seat in the dining area, take the cafe, they serve the same menu just at smaller tables. Don't leave without a treat from the bakery.

We were in downtown L.A. with our daughter who happens to love Macaron's and stopped by Bottega Louie’s. It's a pretty big space on the corner of Grand & West 7th Street. The location has a restaurant, cafe, bar, and bakery. We wanted to try all of the items in the bakery area. LOL They were all so well presented... More

Was visiting Los Angeles and went there for lunch. The place was packed and a little loud, but the service was wonderful and the pizza was great. Of course we cased out the pastry display up front before we were seated so we knew exactly what we wanted to finish off our lunch. I had the yummy chocolate éclair....oh so... More

We went to Bottegs Louie for a late breakfast. The room is large white with very high ceilings, the entrance is a rainbow of color and confection, a treat for the eyes. Our server was amazingly friendly and competent, a surprise for us, since in the past, waitstaff in LA were usually less than stellar. We started with beningets, heavenly... More

I don't remember the experience here really but I do remember that it wasn't bad. Maybe I will go back and give it a shot again. Either I will remember why I never went back, or wonder why it has taken me so long to get back... To be continued.

I came to bottega Louie for brunch and while i was expecting it to be nice, I was still looking around in wonderment. I really liked the high ceilings and all the desserts in the front! I almost went for those instead of sitting down and eating. My friends and i are obsessed with beignets and bottega Louie's were amazing.... More
