This is a beautiful restaurant in a historic building in downtown LA and our expectations were high. We were seated for our date night promptly by the person who ended up being our server, which was great. Our server was very friendly but looked unkept, her uniform was a mess, and button-down shirt was spotted and a mess. We ordered cocktails and took in the ambiance of the restaurant, which was very nice. After some time, we ordered our cocktails and dinner simultaneously. After a short time, drinks and food began to arrive. The Salmon crudo was good as was the pasta alla checca although both were very pricey for the serving sizes provided. Then the entrees arrived, 4 scallops slightly larger than a nickel and about 2.5 ounces of filet. While I do not mind paying a good price for a meal, I thought the $60+ for the filet was outrageous as was the $40+ for the scallops, both entrees were tasteless and a complete waste of money. We were so disappointed and still hungry after our $350+ dinner that we stopped at In-N- Out on the way for a burger. Bottom line is that unfortunately, this is definitely a future NO GO and I don't think it will be around very long with the quality of the food and what they charge for it.

Absolutely great. We had been to the rooftop bar, Bar Clara, many times and had been wanting to try the restaurant in the lobby. It was great! Great decor, ambiance, and service, creative menu; absolutely fantastic.

Ristorante Per L’Ora is an elegant and refined dining experience that blends modern creativity with authentic Italian tradition. The food is outstanding — each dish is prepared with great attention to detail, from the handmade pastas to the perfectly cooked mains, all showcasing high-quality ingredients and bold, balanced flavors. The service is warm, professional, and very attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening feel special. Staff are happy to guide you through the menu and wine pairings, which really enhances the overall experience. The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable, making it perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening with close company. Prices are fair for the quality and presentation, and the restaurant is best enjoyed with smaller groups to truly savor the intimate vibe. If you’re looking for a memorable Italian dining experience in LA, Ristorante Per L’Ora is absolutely worth a visit.

The pasta dishes were fresh and flavorful, while the seafood options were equally impressive. The atmosphere was elegant but not stuffy, making it comfortable for any occasion. Service was attentive and knowledgeable about the wine pairings. A fantastic spot for Italian fine dining.

It was a nice place. The food and service were good. However, the food proportion was too small.
