Best pasta ever! - Edit
This place exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad I took the time to come and have a special they had on the menu. It was delicious. Will come back whenever I’m in LA.

Spendy but oh YUM! - Edit
Cacio E Pepe is phenomenal, so creamy with a hint of lemon. Amelia and Margherita pizzas are both incredible. We got half mint lemonade and half unsweetened tea, which was very refreshing. The tiramisu was pretty good, very rich, glad we shared.

Love This Place - Edit
One of my favorites! I frequent this and the Redondo Beach locations every chance I get! The oyster mushroom scallop pasta dish is my fav! But everything else is always scrumptious. Just try everything, you will thank me!

Two Nights In A Row - Edit
While staying in Redondo Beach we visited this place two nights in a row - so mouth-wateringly good! Their whole menu is organic and vegan, mostly (or all?) made in-house, and amazing. We opted to share the Garlic Parmigiano Potato Wedges and the Diavolina pizza and couldn't finish the pizza. The combination of fresh ingredients were so flavorful that we found each of us making some sort of unconscious pleasurable sound after each bite; not to mention we could not finish the pizza because we were so satiated from the potatoes and only one slice of pizza each. Happy leftovers! The next night we got their famous Carbonara - definitely popular for a reason with its toothy pasta and extra creamy flavor-popping sauce-filled smoky shitake bits - and the cookie skillet for dessert (also a surprising m-u-s-t!). The venue is very romantic and comfortable. The service impeccably friendly and attentive. They have at least a couple locations - highly highly highly recommend if you're ever in their nearby areas. I would be here at least twice a week if I lived closer than 40 miles away.

Separate Pizzeria just for Vegans! - Edit
So so good, all I’ve tried so far is their pizzas! The crust is so good, sometimes comes out burnt but well. Recently I ordered the Diavolina. Loved the sauced used. I think it’s a red pepper vodka sauce. Very creamy. Wish they had vegan ranch! I want to try the calzones next 🥹
Read morePros: All vegan pizzeria, Pizzas
Cons: No ranch if you’re a sauce person like me

Excellent Service Great food - Edit
Buttercup had outpatient surgery in the area so I found myself with a few hours to kill and decided to treat myself to a nice long lunch. I wasn't paying attention to the time and walked 10 minutes before they opened. They let me use the ladies room and said I could take a seat on the patio and somebody would be with me shortly. And they were i had water and menus at 11:02 and then 1 minute later another member of the wait staff came by to make sure I was taken care of. I couldn't decide on what pizza I wanted because I really wanted pizza and They helped me narrow down and I decided on the Amelia.
Read moreWhen it arrived it was everything I wanted in life the arugula was fresh and plentiful. There was so much that I actually made a little salad out of it. I knew I would not be able to finish the pizza and the pizza would travel better without it. The crust was amazing perfectly cooked with the right chew. Cashew cream was on point and I am thinking I will be going back for lunch for the post op check up. Maybe even an adult beverage.
Pros: Amazing Service, Options, Atmosphere

Best vegan Italian food I’ve had thus far. Carbonara is a must have. - Edit
The carbonara was the single most memorable dish from my entire California trip. It was so shockingly authentic. Most places make their carbonara essentially cream pasta with bacon, but this avo-based rendition actually tasted like Italian carbonara! The black magic lasagne was also insane.
Read moreThe calzone was amazing but slightly on the heavier side. Tiramisu was okay.
Would come back just for the carbonara.

The Pura Vita Pizzeria is technically closed on weekdays, but you can still order from their menu at Pura Vita, which is what we did. TRY THE CARCIOFI (crispy artichokes) - this dish was so tasty. We also enjoyed our pizza and salad.

Best vegan pizza - Edit
Hard to find good vegan pizza, but these guys really got it right. Great service, a little on the upscale side but definitely not over priced. We tried a pasta dish, an appetizer and a salad, and of course a pizza. Everything was great, the pizza was definitely the highlight for us.
Read morePros: Upscale feel yet reasonable prices, Excellent service , All vegan!
Cons: Not organic

I ordered takeout from here and not only was the packaging very sustainable, the food arrived at the perfect temperature. The grilled cibatta and pomodoro pasta were delicious. I especially loved the cashew ricotta; it was super flavorful and I could tell that they put effort into the recipe.
