"Be sure to save room for the long list of gluten free dessert options! Our favorite was the Butterscotch Budino, which our waitress accurately described as “butterscotch candy on crack,” something you can only understand after you try it. This dessert is served with a Salted Caramel Macaron (their most popular flavor), and it was unlike any I’ve ever had."

Lonely Planet

"This sprawling, loft-like space recalls the grand cafes of northern Italy: go for the giant, Neapolitan-style pizzas."

Serious Eats

"Bottega Louie pizza is the only reason I'll travel downtown. The texture of their crust is absolutely perfect, and I would drink their sauce straight if they sold it in water bottles. I've tried them all, and this is, hands down, the best pie on the entire West Coast."

Jonathan Gold

"For a restaurant this big, the bready, crisp-edged Neapolitan-style pizzas that come out of the big wood-burning oven are quite good, if not quite up to the level of the city’s best — I especially liked a four-cheese pizza buried under drifts of baby arugula."

"Smaller plates feature mouthwatering favorites like crab beignets."

"Louie is perhaps best known for its towers of brightly colored, French macarons displayed beautifully in the windows – and for good reason, they are so delicious (and gluten free)!"

Norris Danta Ford

"Please don’t get turned away because of it’s size because its packed with layers on top of layers with caramel and butterscotch custard all the way to the top of the dessert cup. The little salted caramel macaron makes the entire dessert, because as you’re eating from the cup you nibble pieces as you go and is so flavorful. Then now imagine all of that topped with whipped cream and candied almonds making your dessert experience very enjoyable."

Joanna Sciarrino

"I am a sucker for any dessert with caramel in it and one of my all time favorites is the caramel budino from Bottega Louie."

First, We Eat

"My God, why have these never been in my life before? Like a doughnut, but so much airier! So bouncy! I absolutely could have eaten another plate and in hindsight I probably should have done – delicious."

Jenny Peters

"The lure of Bottega Louie is obvious from the moment you step through the doors. Suddenly, your senses are assaulted by the brilliant colors of a bakery case chock full of French Macaron cookies, gorgeously displayed. Don't miss dessert, of course, particularly those gorgeous Macarons."
