Overall good - Edit
Finally got to try this place. It was good overall but in my opinion over hyped. Service was really good and restaurant was nice. There is for sure better pizza and pasta out there, but it was good.

Disappointing - Edit
I was so hyped to try this restaurant and was very disappointed. The pizza tasted like nothing and fell apart. The cheese sticks weren’t good, luckily there was marinara sauce. The only thing that was okay was the chocolate pizza, but it was burned… It cost so much and my boyfriend and I didn’t like one single thing. It’s very rare that I give such a bad review, but this place was not it.

The best - Edit
This is my favorite vegan Italian spot. The eggplant sandwich is my favorite. I’ve had the pizza, kale salad and calzone. Basically, I have not had anything here that was not good.

Spectacular vegan italian - Edit
Really great service, nice low lighting atmosphere with high tops. Phenomenal pizza and pasta. Tried the black truffle pizza, the spicy red sauce pizza with mushrooms, baked ricotta, and carbonara. The carbonara was so delicious and the pizza was chewy and full of flavor. 10/10 would come back.

You can tell they use good ingredients. The pizza here is so good. They’re cauliflower wings are probably the best I’ve had ever.

Pomodoro and a salty cookie... - Edit
This place makes me feel like the fanciest F'n vegan. Haha. Does anyone else know what I mean? Like, so many places serve frozen garbage like nuggets and beyond burgers. There are some places, but not many , where you can actually DINE, and eat real food. This is one of those.
Read moreRegular serving sizes, tastes fresh, pretty to look at... I just love this place! Every time I'm in LA, I must stop here.

LOVE Pura Vita 💕 - Edit
Had an incredible dining experience at Pura Vita.
Read moreOne dish that absolutely blew me away was the Linguine Di Mare.
And of course, what's a good meal without a side of bread? The freshly baked bread was warm, fluffy, and simply irresistible!
If you're in LA and looking for a vegan dining experience that will leave you speechless, I highly recommend checking out Pura Vita!From their delectable dishes to the cozy ambiance, this place is a true gem. 🌟✨

Italian vegan food - Edit
I was craving pasta and decided to give this place a try. I love a creamy pasta, so I tried the vegan carbonara. It was so creamy and decadent. It was topped with mushroom bacon. It was a good portion. I actually split it into two portions and shared it with my friend. The restaurant is super intimate, I would've loved to dine in, but I got take out on this occasion. I would highly recommend it for a date night. Can't wait to come back !!

It's worth the hype - Edit
Our server was great in helping us choose from so many different options on the menu! From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was so flavorful. The lasagna was small in size, but it was tasty. I'm excited to go back to try the rest of what they offer!

Wonderful New York Style Italian Food - Edit
I had the daily special of zucchini blossoms which were cheesy and decadent. The highlight however was the carbonara. I've been thinking about that pasta dish since I've had it and 10/10 would eat again. Nice beer and wine selection as well.

One word: Carbonara - Edit
Love this place! I’m usually the type to order different things when I frequent a place but I legit crave the Carbonara from Pura Vita, it’s so good and I love that they use shiitake mushrooms instead of fake meat. Drooling just thinking about it 🤤

Awesome Pizza, but no time to eat - Edit
First off, we had two pizzas and they were amazing and the staff was very friendly per se. But unfortunately it felt like we should leave as soon as possible even though the restaurant wasn't about to close. They asked if we wanted dessert as I was still eating and then after we said no, brought the check right away - as I was still eating. If you buy two pizzas for 26$ each and beverages for 8$ each, I would at least expect to not have to eat in a hurry. But as I said, the pizza was great.

Fantastic Italian food and wine - Edit
We had an amazing diner at Pura Vita! The caprese salad was fantastic, really simple and fresh ingredients which elevated the taste and is a hallmark of quality Italian food. We really enjoyed the lasagna pura and san gennaro pizza, both were flavourful and not too oily.
Read moreThe super Tuscan wine went very well. And we topped it all off with the zeppole which were scrumptious! It was a memorable meal, I would highly recommend!
Pros: Nice setting , Good service
Cons: A bit pricy

Must try! - Edit
I've been here twice now, and every dish is to die for. I'm not exaggerating. The first time I came here, we got the cacio e pepe, the eggplant parm, the mushroom meatballs, the tiramisu, and the zepolles. The eggplant parm was so tasty and crispy. The mushroom meatballs were great, but in comparison to everything else we had ordered, they were just fine. The cacio e pepe was phenomenal, very garlicy and rich.
Read moreThe next time we came here for dinner we got two pizzas, linguine, potato wedges, and the zepolles. I ordered the linguine, there is a ton of garlic and onion in this dish so just beware. It was so good! The scallops were a little tough but still great. I got to try a piece of pizza that my sister had customized and I enjoyed that too. The potato wedges were amazing. The sauce that comes drizzled over them was super creamy and tasty!
Eventually I'll try everything from the menu!
Pros: All vegan, Good wine
Cons: Parking can suck

Amazing service, incredible food, great atmosphere! I had their killer ceaser salad and cacio e pepe! Couldn’t tell you how pumped I was to give this place a try, and it exceeded expectations! Even my non vegan bf enjoyed his dish and we highly recommend. Excited to go back and try more of their pastas/pizzas ❤️ (cocktails were great too)
