Macarons were delicious, but we weren't given the ones we ordered. Would definitely come back to try more, but recommend checking that they give you all the flavors you ask for!

A very elegant traditional Italian restaurant. Price is reasonable with the quality of food and service and vibe. Unfortunately we order dessert too late and most of the desserts are sold out. I hope to try their dessert next time.

Food was a bit plain and unseasoned (perfectly cooked though), service was great, wine was spectacular! Appetizer was also very good.
About the restaurant: Bottega Louie is a cavernous Italian restaurant/gourmet market located downtown, and its good value and versatility contribute to a unique dining concept. The design --- some Rococo accents infused into the historic Beaux Arts Brockman Building --- features a sea of tables amid high ceilings and marble surfaces. It's a very noisy, bustling environment.Food & Drinks: The menu for sit-down service features generous salads, thin-crusted pizzas, house-made pastas, and main courses like grilled branzino, hanger steak in black truffle sauce, or sautéed chicken with artichoke hearts, capers and garlic. A wide array of small plates is offered as well, mostly presenting quality ingredients with little unnecessary embellishment: roasted beets with goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes with burrata, or crab beignets. The California/Italian wine list proposes about 20 wines by the glass or half-glass. For dessert, options include peanut butter terrine with chocolate sauce, tiramisu and chocolate soufflés. Bottega Louie is a popular spot for breakfast before heading into the office, whether for a café au lait and croissant, or eggs Benedict. Weekend brunches offer a wide selection of treats, from lobster hash to lemon-ricotta pancakes. On the way out, stop at the pâtisserie for some éclairs, beignets or Parisian-style macarons to go, or grab some cheeses and specialty ingredients from the market.
