We show that the properties of the ideal Bose gas in three-dimensional optical lattice can be closely mimicked by finite two dimensional systems with only ten of layers. The match between critical properties strongly depends on the anisotropy of the hopping amplitudes in and between layers which we fully control. The theory we provided can be directly used in the experiments and results in less challenging requirements of the setups. We also present the phase diagram with its non-monotonic dependence of the ratio of tunneling to on-site repulsion when artificial magnetic field is applied to the system.
