Beautiful restaurant, excellent customer service. My only complaint is with the vallet... for whatever reason my radio system was reset... Back to the restaurant, drinks were also delicious!!

Great Italian spot in the heart of downtown with delicious, authentic dishes and beautiful presentation. The ambiance is charming, especially with the surprise downstairs restrooms corridor and rooftop upstairs. Service was friendly even through the dinner rush, Brent took care of us. Food and atmosphere make it worth the visit. Having Chef John Acosta come out to explain his inspiration for the desserts he created, gave that extra touch to a special evening.

Lobster in my pasta was overcooked, my girlfriends rigatoni was spicier than expected but it did say there was an Italian pepper in there. Focaccia was very good. Beautiful restaurant.

Bret and the other staff provided outstanding service. The birria pasta dish was reminiscent of wine area dining. The calamari appetizer was perfectly executed. We had a great dining experience.

Nice place but they close super early at 11am and were nearly out of pastries by 10.

Beautiful architecture walking into the hotel. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Great Italian food too. The pastas were fantastic and chicken parm as well. Bday dessert chocolate mousse was super good. and our waiter was extremely professional quick and attentive and kind.

Great venue. Excellent food, stellar service and always great music. The venue - in an old bank building - is both dramatic and also comfortable. The lighting and well spaced out tables add a refined air to the restaurant. Well worth braving LA traffic to visit this gem in downtown LA.

Giannini Building, Former headquarters of the Bank of Italy in the 1920s, is home to Per L'Ora. imagine sitting underneath a stunning Italianate 20-foot ceiling which enjoying a menu that hits on all the Italian high notes with a beautiful twist. Their Focaccia bread was so fluffy, The orecchiette birria was outstanding and so unique, the Endive salad was perfection with that pistachio touch. Their sure know how to do dessert because their twist on tiramisu was executed perfectly & their Earl Grey Panda Cotta was so divine Overall great service, food and drinks!

The service was fantastic, especially Brett, our waiter. Great atmosphere, although sitting on the couches is a bit awkward. The short rib pasta was excellent, as was the Tiramisu-Choux. Very good cocktails. We were quite happy to find this place and will definitely be back.

While it is a beautiful hotel, I would not recommend dining here for anything special. Went for my mom's birthday and the food was below mediocre. I couldn't finish my meal because it was just so disappointing and I ended up getting a stomach ache from the food. The service was good, and everyone is very nice. I got the chicken Parmesan and the birria pasta, and it was the saddest way to spend $83 on just two plates that ended up making me feel sick.

Aesthetically romantic space with delicious food and excellent service! Their hamachi appetizer and their hazelnut crusted Branzino absolutely delish. And the molten chocolate dessert thingie- decadently delicious and made with excellent chocolate wns not overly sweet- YUM!

We really loved the place. Everything is just perfect: service, food, ambience, It is a very elegant place with hotel and restaurant together with a lot of history. We simply loved it!!!

Wonderful location, the place is a former Italian bank. The style and decoration are amazing. Service is really friendly. Everything is there to be one of the most successful restaurant. The only thing is that the food could be better, at the level of the place. The food was ok but not mind blowing and some products not at the right level of quality.
