This is one place I can't wait to try when I get back to L.A. next week. I recently found out about the reasonably-priced downtown Bottega Louie, which serves breakfast, weekend brunches (BEAT meeting place Leslie and Chau ?), and has some pretty impressive cocktails on the menu for dinner time.
Starting at $2.50 for a bagel with cream cheese, some menu highlights include the breakfast asparagus frittata sandwich ($5) and macchiato ($2.50), lunch/dinner cauliflower volute ($8) and a variety of pizzas, pastas, salads, and sandwiches. Cocktails include sweet tea and a Peruvian sour for $12.
Bottega Louie is located at 700 S. Grand Ave.
