About Bottega Louie
Bottega Louie is an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, set at 700 S Grand Ave beneath high ceilings and white marble surfaces around an open kitchen, a combination that amplifies sound through the dining room. The kitchen turns out truffle and burrata pizzas alongside a pastry case stocked with macarons, sold individually or packed into boxes for eating off site. High chairs are available for families with young children, and valet parking sits alongside nearby garage options for those driving in. Reservations are recommended, though the room usually has a wait at busy times, and a step-free entrance serves visitors with mobility needs. The restaurant opens daily. Its full menu spans 26 dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Bottega Louie's bakery case is the recurring center of praise, with reviewers repeatedly gravitating toward the macarons, along with call-outs for the chocolate soufflé, fruit tart, and pain au chocolat. Close behind, diners single out the wood-fired pizzas, especially the truffle pizza and burrata pizza, and the pastas, with the Trenne pasta and carbonara both drawing strong reactions; brunch dishes like the smoked salmon benedict and Chicken Parmesan also get frequent mention, alongside appetizers like the Portobello Fries and Calamari Fritti. Service is mostly described as attentive and quick despite the volume, though it isn't uniform: one diner reports a rushed, impersonal server who lit a birthday candle and walked off without properly boxing a cake, and another describes a disappointing brunch where the hollandaise turned out to be pre-made and the croque monsieur arrived cold on stale, cheap bread. The high-ceilinged, marble dining room and its noise level come up often, generally as part of the appeal rather than a drawback. Several reviewers note leaving with a box of macarons on their way out the door.

“Great restaurant to get some food and drinks. The Bartender DYYO, is the best, makes some amazing Old fashioned. He gave us good recommendation on food to choose, and it was on point, from the small bites to the Pizza. Beautiful decor and space, the open kitchen is top.We enjoyed our lunch. Definitely coming back next time in town.”

“Their cakes look beautiful, but they simply don’t taste good. Even the raspberry tart isn’t as good as the one sold at Whole Foods, yet it costs nearly twice as much. The tiramisu was made into a dense, hard cake, as if it had been made by someone who has no idea what tiramisu is supposed to be. They really should fire their pastry chef.”

“Very nice restaurant. The service was great and food was pretty good. Good size servings. I had the Matcha Latte and a Hamburger with Cheese. All was good except you do have to sweeten the Latte, which they accompanied with a Raw Sugar …”

“My partner and I had a reservation for this restaurant and as soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the smell of desserts and snacks. The style of the restaurant is immaculate as there's a golden/white sparkling when entering, similar to marble type environment, super modern and well designed. Parking is a bit limited, no designated structure or lot but plenty of paid parking lots across/nearby to accommodate, not too expensive. Since we had a reservation, we were seated super quick even though it was quite busy. Service was great, our server checked up on us on our order and refills very often along with ordering speed. We ordered a margarita pizza, omelette, and a "must try" Portobello Fries, all shareable dishes. Pizza was bigger than expected but it was super delicious with a nice crunchy crust. Omelette is well cooked and has good portions. Although I feel like there was too much veggies and less of the omelette, nonetheless, still pretty yummy. Lastly, the Portobello Fries were an absolute treat, as someone who loves mushrooms and fries, this was a perfect combo. Highly recommend even for non mushroom lovers. Only downside to the fries is the container that it comes in, although great aesthetic, the pieces that fall off can easily make a mess on the table, not a huge downside but one to look at. After the meal, we took a look at the bakery and we were enamored with the amount of macaron choices, a huge variety and super affordable. There were plenty of other desserts but we were too full to continue! We will definitely be back to try other menu items and bakery catalogs. Food was amazing, dessert is plentiful, service is great, and environment is perfect for a date setting.”
