My family decided on Bottega Louie in Downtown, L.A. Parking was a breeze since they have a valet stand right outside the entrance, which is a blessing because finding parking down there can be a nightmare at times. Upon walking into the restaurant, there are several cases of perfectly made and well-designed pastries ranging from macaroons to tarts, and even cakes. You cannot make a reservation here, so we put our name in with the hostess. Despite it being a large and busy restaurant, Bottega Louie was not that loud and is perfect for a family setting, a date night, or a night out with friends. I will definitely be going back because I am super eager to try more of their menu items. I was eyeing the cacio e pepe pasta and the tartufo pizza, so I’ll for sure order those the next time I go. I have also heard their fishes, salmon and branzino, are exceptional, so I might have to try them as well.
