The Petersen Automotive Museum now has a restaurant where you can dine on modern Italian cuisine if you're feeling peckish after salivating over a $2.6 million Bugatti. Drago Ristorante now joins the ranks of Los Angeles' esteemed museum-adjacent restaurants, like The Broad's Otium or LACMA's Ray's & Stark Bar. The Italian eatery opened in December, and has a sleek, mod design courtesy of Felderman Keatinge + Associates. Bright walls in reds and purples prevent otherwise white space from feeling too sterile.

Circles of neon hang from the ceiling, matching the outside of the auto museum, which received a revamp in 2015 that added supine swirls across the facade. The lobby remains open for access to Drago even after the museum itself has closed, so you'll be able to stroll around and gaze at more than a few gorgeous cars before your reservation. Seating is available at a number of tables or in a comfortable, yellow wrap-around booth that allows one to see the museum through glass partitions.
