Bottega Louie
About
Bottega Louie, at 7th and Grand in Downtown, is an Italian restaurant and patisserie famous for its soaring marble room and windows full of colorful macarons, with a second location in WeHo. Brunch means lobster hash; dinner means rigatoni alla vodka and burrata pizza.
Jasmine says
The Italian-and-pastry icon that started in DTLA: the WeHo location is more fashionable and more French, with an open bar for 'social dining.' Tall arched windows, cream marble and gold-framed pinks, and the macarons in the pastry case by the door are lined up like jewelry.
Soaring marble, gold logos and a whole wall of macarons: DTLA's most European brunch.
