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.
