The service was great, and I always love eating at a 100% vegan restaurant. We shared a pizza, Caesar salad, and mozz sticks. The mozz sticks were fun because they were a novelty. The marinara sauce was tasty. The pizza and salad were good, but not memorable. Maybe we just chose the wrong items.

Was a great find while in the area. Suggest making reservations. Food was amazing & with a full Vegan menu it's exciting to have so many choices. We had the Garlic Parmiagiano Potato Wedges. Nice & crispy with a delicious garlic aioli & macadamia parm. Main Dishes were the Lasagna & Pomodoro. We're not always fans of Vegan cheese, but their cashew ricotta & cashew mozzarella were amazing, their sauce...we are still talking about it! Loved it so much I ate my leftovers at room temp before jumping on a plane the next day.

The Pura Vita massaged kale salad with almond ricotta and pepitas was delicious! #Veganuary

Can’t go wrong with any menu item at this 100% vegan restaurant!! Delicious. We started with the Mozzarella sticks w/ marinara sauce, Cesar salad w/ kale & romaine, Black Magic Pizza, Capricciosa Pizza, & Baked Alfredo Ziti w/ Grilled Butternut squash, onions, & fresh baked bread, then ended w/ hot cocoa w/ plant based mylk, Indoor & outdoor seating. Pet friendly patio. Plenty of non-alcoholic beverages. Full bar. Located by the beach so go for a nice stroll afterwards.

I recently ordered takeout from Pura Vita and I had a great experience! As someone who follows a gluten-free and vegan diet, it can be challenging to find places that cater to both, but this restaurant exceeded my expectations and IT TASTES DELICIOUS!
The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, all bursting with flavor. I tried the Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe and the meatball and it was great —perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous, and I appreciated the fresh ingredients used in every bite. I’ll be back and highly recommend!

Love this place. Cool vibe, street parking. So many amazing vegan and gluten free options I got gluten free pasta with lentil mushroom meatballs. I got the Caesar salad kale and romaine with gluten free croutons. It all was delicious. Great service. I also ordered a pizza gluten free to go. I had to try dessert and there were gluten free options but I stuck with an affogato with hazelnut ice cream.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay! Amazing food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Great happy hour specials too! Mozz sticks & Cacio e pepe are amazing! Also love the espresso martini.

Everything was delicious; my entire family lived it, even my father-in-law who didn't realize everything was vegan until he was almost done with his pepperoni pizza! Staff was courteous and helpful - I live over 90 miles from Pura Vita but I will definitely be back.

I've been to the West Hollywood location multiple times. It's a must whenever I'm in LA. This was my first time at the Redondo location and it was just as incredible. I had the cacio e pepe. So, so delicious!

Would do 6 stars if we could! This place is amazing; have been going for years. Food rocks. Last night the service was off the charts; Sirai made us feel like we were her only table... even though she was giving the same genuine + superstar service to everyone. Respect! You'll love it here.

Beautiful restaurant. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! Some of my favs are the Pura Vita salad, the Polpettine, Meatball Parmigiana, Americana Pizza, and Lasagna Pura. Too many to name, honestly. You will love it! Oh and did I mention they make THE BEST espresso martinis in the South Bay?? Amazing

Love this sweet gem! Authentic Italian, upscale dining environment, great organic wine. The food is delicious to the max. It’s really a must try for any foodie - regardless of your vegan/ non-vegan status.

I took the margherita. The dough was good the toppings were not. If it’s a cream you can’t call it mozzarella.

It's difficult to find really great vegan Italian food. This is one of the only 2 places I would consistently visit, if I lived here. I had the Carbonara and it was delicious.
Vegetarian options: The menu is completely vegan.
Kid-friendliness: Not a place for children to run around. Don't bring them if they can't sit still or you are not willing to act like a parent. Other diners don't want loud crotch fruit in this nice environment.
