DTLA Meets the Italian Coast
With spirited, easy-going Italian light bites and dishes, Ristorante Per L’Ora is a neighborhood classic. It features simple yet elevated flavor profiles of Los Angeles mixed with coastal Italian flare, and offers a fresh take on classic table-side service.
Join us for Aperitivo Hour, 5 pm-6 pm every night at our bar and lounge. Kick back with a classic or mezcal Negroni and chef-prepared bar bites, from hamachi crudo, sweet corn agnolotti, to signature toasts, and more. Aperitivo Hour also features specialty wines and non-alcoholic cocktails. Walk-ins only, no reservations are required.

Dine In or Hang Out
An inviting space to dine or hang out, Ristorante Per L’Ora evokes the comforting familiarity of feeling at home, while anchored in the restaurant traditions of an old-school lobby rendered with a modern twist.
Located on the ground floor of Hotel Per La, our namesake restaurant pays tribute to the rich history of the Giannini family — with the main dining room sitting underneath a stunning Italianate 20-foot ceiling, and blended with a contemporary design and light color palate.
