Website Directions 213-802-1470

Bottega Louie is a vibrant Italian restaurant, gourmet market, and French patisserie housed in a grand historic building in Downtown Los Angeles. Visitors flock to its bright, soaring space for handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, weekend brunch, and an array of colorful gourmet macarons. The lively dining room and takeaway dessert counter offer an unforgettable culinary stop for both quick treats and sit-down meals.

History

Since its opening in 2009, Bottega Louie has quickly established itself as a culinary landmark in Los Angeles. Its iconic building, with roots stretching back to the early 20th century, was once home to the historic Brooks Brothers clothing store.

Quick tip: If you only want macarons or pastries, skip the main dining wait and head straight to the takeaway bakery counter.
