Bottega Louis WEHO is just about as eclectic as their neighborhood and their ambient playlist. A little something for everyone. No detail goes overlooked. From their bespoke custom tables, to the jaw dropping perfection of their pastries. Everything feels seamless. The crew is prepared and ready to accommodate. The ultimate hospitality. My one observation was that, for a Sunday morning, our server had a lot of demand and not enough capacity. So our interactions left something to be desired. This would not prevent me from returning a dozen times over. Drop in for coffee (or a cocktail!), order from the kiosk to-go or stay for the ambiance. Front patio for people watching. Back patio to enjoy our priceless LA weather.

Bottega Louie in West Hollywood is a truly magnificent dining destination that offers a delightful and memorable experience from the moment you step through the door. It's the kind of place that elevates a simple meal into a special occasion. The first thing that strikes you is the beautiful and expansive ambiance. With a "patisserie chic" aesthetic, the restaurant is bathed in natural light, making the entire space feel bright and welcoming. The interior is spacious and well-decorated, and the back patio is especially lovely. Whether you're there for a celebratory lunch, a romantic dinner, or a casual brunch, the atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. The food itself is a testament to quality and flavor. The Italian and French-inspired menu has something for everyone. Guests rave about the delicious, visually decadent dishes like the pasta, with one reviewer highlighting the deliciousness of the pasta with prawns and the broth to soak up with pizza crust. The pizzas are also a major highlight, with options like the Calabrese salami pizza with Malibu honey and the popular Burrata pizza. For brunch, the French Toast is a standout, described as the best dish of the meal with its fluffy pain de mie and flavorful compote. And don't forget the Portobello Fries, a creative and tasty alternative to the classic. But the real showstopper for many is the patisserie. The selection of macarons is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a wide array of vibrant colors and delicious flavors like Earl Grey, pistachio, and espresso. The pastries, from the Mango Lime Napoleon to the beautiful cakes, are a must-try. Many people make it a point to take home a box of macarons or a dessert to enjoy later. The service consistently receives praise, with servers being attentive and contributing to the overall positive experience. The staff is happy to help with menu recommendations, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable visit. Bottega Louie West Hollywood truly offers a recipe for a fabulous meal—a solid menu combined with an incredible atmosphere, impeccable service, and, of course, a stunning array of desserts that are hard to resist. It's an absolutely beautiful day in West Hollywood when you get to visit Bottega Louie.

Bottega Louie in WeHo is a great restaurant and patisserie with a beautiful space, lively atmosphere, and a solid mix of food and pastries. The décor is super chic with a touch of Hollywood glam, making it perfect for brunch, a date, or coffee stop. Macarons and cakes here are a must try - and boxes/packaging are beautiful making for great gifts and souvenirs. Service is usually good, though it can get a little hectic when it’s packed. Overall, a fun spot that feels upscale but still approachable.

I had the Tartufo pizza and the Carbonara pasta – both were absolutely delicious! The pizza crust was perfectly baked, the pasta rich and creamy, and all the ingredients tasted fresh and authentic. One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great Italian food.

Many many years ago, we visited Bottega Louie's downtown location and just did not care for it. Partly due to the price and possibly due in part to the fact that maybe we just didn't know any better when it came to French pastries? But also there's a chance Botteha Louie has improved since then. Anyways, I was in the area and wanted to stop by to give them another chance after a decade. Staff was so incredibly nice. The hostess was kind, the cashier was very friendly and made sure to get my drink request to the barista, and the barista was a great soul. I ordered three macarons - Pistachio - excellent flavor, not bitter, slightly sweet, and great texture. Very nutty Chocolate - wow this was outstanding. Decadent and rich with a slight bitterness to cut through the sweetness Grand cru - this was good but nothing to write home about. Just a simple chocolate. I also tried the Chocolate Orange cannoli. The shell was so light and crispy, the cream was flavorful and rich, and the chocolate dipped ends with the candied orange pieces were the perfect first and last bites. I asked for a White chocolate matcha but not too sweet, so the cashier made sure to put that in the notes and the barista did a great job making it. Great matcha flavor and blend with a touch of white chocolate so it's not overly sweet.

Bottega Louie is truly an experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a bright, elegant atmosphere that feels both lively and inviting. The space is always buzzing with energy, which adds to the charm. The food is consistently delicious — everything from the fresh pasta to the perfectly baked pizzas feels carefully crafted. Presentation is on point, and portions are generous without sacrificing quality. If you have a sweet tooth, the pastry counter is a dream. The macarons and desserts are not only stunning but also taste as good as they look. Service is attentive and professional, even when the restaurant is busy, and the staff creates a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, dinner, or just dessert, Bottega Louie never disappoints. It’s one of those places that makes any meal feel special. Highly recommend!

The food is always scrumptious, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We had great service during our visits, yet the servers sometimes don't give eye contact or build rapport with us. Paid parking is on the street or in a lot (we have not found any free parking the multiple times we have gone). The beignets are good (I prefer the Louisana style though), the calamari is crispy and delicious, the pizza is flavorful and fresh, and the salmon is cooked perfectly. Please check it out if in the area.
