So, I've heard rave reviews about this place And I was working in the area so I decided to finally give it a shot for lunch. I called ahead to make sure lunch reservations weren't required, and they weren't. I spoke to a really nice woman on the phone also named Michelle and we had a brief conversation about her favorite food items that I should eat. I walked inside and was quickly seated. They brought water immediately and placed the piece of bread in the center of my small table. I ordered the "Calabrese" Pizza by recommendation and since I'm pescatarian, ordered it with no salami. I also ordered the gazpacho. The bread was good, however it wasn't warm like I thought it would be and the butter was refrigerated, so really hard to spread. I asked my waitress for some soft butter and she brought some back in no time! I was still kind of sad the bread wasn't warm but I got over that pretty quickly when the gazpacho arrived. They placed a large white bowl in front of me with flowers and herbs on the side and a man with what looked like a wine decanter poured the gazpacho into the bowl. It was a very cool experience and the gazpacho was absolutely delicious. The pizza blew me away way more than I thought it was going to. The spicy with the mixture of the honey drizzle on top was absolute perfection. The best part about lunch by myself here, having plenty of leftovers for later. I look forward to coming back and will update if my experience exceeds my expectations.
Bottega Louie is the go-to place when you are in DTLA. The interior restaurant has a classic, clean, and beautiful vibe. The cool air conditioning inside feels good on a hot summer day. The pastries are displayed by the front door of the restaurant with colorful macaroons and other desserts. The food is delicious. They have salads, pizza, burgers, and pasta. You can order some of the pizzas 1/2 and 1/2. The portions are large and can easily be shared. After dinner, we bought a box of macaroons to take home. The macaroons are a great gift because they’re beautiful, tasty, and nicely wrapped. I definitely recommend trying Bottega Louie if your in DTLA.

It was 2018 when it was the last time I went to Bottega Louie. Although the restaurant has been closed during COVID, the food is still good during this visit. The shrimp was amazing for sure! The dragon food drink also impressive. Salmon, pasta, salad were all good! 5 star restaurant for real!

Love this place, the glamorous vibe and design are so fun and their food is exquisite. We got some macaroons and they were the freshest most delicious ones I have ever tasted! Woohooo I recommend the cotton candy and salted caramel!
They also have the most beautiful delicate pastries that are not only eye candy but a real treat. This is a great place for a date night or day, or you can stop by for their baked goods and sweet treats! Simply fave!

First time for me here. My brother and his family have been here repeatedly. We came Saturday noon and was able to get a table of 9 pretty fast. We parked around the corner parking lot $7 all day parking on Saturday. Food was excellent. We had breakfast/lunch. Salad/Benedict/sandwiches/pizza. Chocolate soufflé $16 and pancake were fantastic. We like the ambiance/service/food. We will come back

This is what dream are made of. What a delight. Had all the pastries - all delicious but the caramel one is delectable. The lobster hash may be the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. We went 3 times in a single 3 day weekend trip ????

Impeccable service! My friends had Pasta and Pizza and said they’re good. Steak is good too. Really good portion, you can share it. The pastries and cakes are yummy and cute. Cocktails are creative.
This location does not take reservation so just walk in, they have plenty of seating. Pay parking is not very far from the restaurant too, I think we paid $7.

The food and service were absolutely excellent. We went on a Tuesday night around 8pm and got a table right away. I ordered the trenne and it was delicious. The noodles are crispy yet soft and the portion of braised prime rib eye was generous. My only complaint is that they sat our party of 4 at a tiny table. We barely had enough room for our entrees and drinks, otherwise the experience was great.

Had a great meal today at Bottega. We got a hamburger and a Cobb salad; which we shared. I adore well done, crispy fries and that is exactly what we got with the burger.
The Cobb salad was really well done. I do not like heavy dressing and this salad was just right! We also got some croissants ???? to go! Can’t come here without a sweet to take home so we also bought a lemon tart. Can’t wait for dessert!!
