Pura Vita

I had an amazing experience here, the food was unbelievably delicious and the service was awesome. So excited to find an all vegan Italian experience that tastes incredible. My server Jose gave awesome recommendations but the best part of the experience was his down to earth personality and genuine conversation. I definitely recommend this place

Very sweet spot with a dog friendly patio. Gluten free pizza was delicious! As was the spicy Margarita which I highly recommend. We had the patio to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon (late lunch) but I’m sure it gets busier during more regular times due to its great menu!

A vegan friend recommended going here and it did not disappoint. The brussels sprouts weren’t great, but I got the San Gennaro pizza and it was seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, vegan or not. Nice atmosphere and I’ll definitely come back for this pizza.

So Amazing!! The food was spectacular, the drinks fantastic, and Jay our server/bartender was a delight!

So glad I chose this place to celebrate both my mom and my birthday. This is the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to! I'm not vegan, but don't eat much meat and sometimes it's hard finding good and unique vegetarian/vegan options. Even meat eaters would love this place. Every single item we ordered was delicious. Our server, Rhina was also amazing, attentive and helpful. We will be returning again and again!

Just recently tried the location in Redondo Beach. Had no idea they had such a lovely patio in the back and dog-friendly too! The food is delicious!! Drinks and the wine I had the other night excellent. So excited to have a great vegan/vegetarian option in the South Bay! New favorite spot.

Great vegan place across from Redondo Beach. A bit small, at least on the inside, but both the delicious Italian food and the friendly stuff make the dining experience very worthwhile.

This was my second time dining here, the first time inside and for a full meal. I ordered the margarita pizza and I am so in love with this crust and the tomato sauce, I could eat it every day all day. The nutella pizza is ridiculously delicious- my child and her friend loved it so much that the first time they had it, I had to stop them from licking the pan where the nutella had drizzled off.

Fantastic vegan italian food. Probably the best we’ve ever had.

We normally go to the Wesr Hollywood location, but as we don't live in the LA area and only had a stop over at LAX the Redondo Beach location was a little closer, so better for a quick pop over during our layover. Quality of the food, service, and over all vibe is just as great as the West Hollywood location. Pura Vita is not just my favorite vegan restaurant, but favorite restaurant of all time. I have traveled to Italy on several occasions and would put the food at Pura Vita up against the restaurantsi have experienced there, it is truly the best Italian restaurant ever. This visit we started with the Baked Cashew Ricotta and the starter special which I cannot recall the name of (it was an artichoke dish), but the flavor of it was amazing! For the main the Carbonara is my favorite and my usual go to, but decided to go off script this time and enjoyed the Linguine di Mare which was excellent. The King Oyster Mushroom Scallops in my Linguine di Mare were little flavor bombs in my mouth. My partner got the Lasagna Pura which I had to steal a bite of as always. As we had two good portioned appetizers and a bottle of wine we started to slow down on our mains by the end, so we ordered some Nocino to help digest what we already ate. The Nocino they have is absolutely amazing, I will be looking for it locally to me. While the Nocino helped us digest enough to finish our plates, we had sadly over done it a bit and were too full for Zeppoles this time, will have to get them for sure next time for desert. While the food is the best part, it is not everything about our time there. The decor and warmth you feel from the atmosphere enhances the dining experience. As does the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. It is always such a joy to have the chance to stop at Pura Vita and I look forward to my next travels to the area.

My son and I popped in for dinner because we were staying close by. We're not vegan, but I am gluten free and we do enjoy vegan options from time to time. We ordered a gluten free pizza to share and I was afraid to eat it because the crust was unlike any gluten free crust I've ever had. I didn't believe it was gluten free. I double checked with the waiter. He assured me it was gluten free. I ate it, but still had my doubts. Haha It was THAT good. I wish we were local so I could have it more often. Their basil lemonade is really good too. We're hoping to visit the area again in the future and will definitely hit up this spot for lunch or dinner.

Great service, appetizers were delicious! The tables were a little cramped for space, ordering two pizzas and appetizers barely left us with room for our arms but the food was so good, we'd go back again.

Came here with a friend visiting from Australia (100% vegan) and my boyfriend from Alabama (100% not vegan) and we all absolutely loved the food!

The cacio e pepe was a hit, the breakfast pizza was so good with the crispy kale, and we loved the salads too. The cashew mozzarella on the Margherita pizza was really tasty. My friend was overwhelmed by the choices on the menu, and pleasantly commented on never having had such choice and was able to give us some insight too on all the ingredients - “best vegan food I’ve ever had!” I was kind of stunned that my boyfriend enjoyed it too as he’s a notoriously picky eater but made sure the pasta plate was clean!

Really nice experience for everyone to enjoy :)

This place is a MUST!!! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Best italian vegan food! Just wow! We loved every plate we order, table of four:
2 appetisers: mozzarella sticks and brussel sprouts ✅ (bruschettas looked good too)

2 salads caesare and tricolor 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

2 pizzas: capricciosa and the one with “pepperoni” TOP
1 Cacio E Pepe: creaminess on point 👌🏼

Desserts: chocolate sunday on a chocolate chip cookie 🤤 and we also ordered hazelnut ice cream drowned in a espresso 🔝

Music and lightning was great! They have a screen and it was a black and white movie that suited perfectly with the ambiance ✔

Our waitress was very nice.

Just be aware that food takes some time if it is full as it was today that we visited, but it is more than worth it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I couldn't believe this was an all vegan Italian restaurant! It's absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the Caesar salad, carbonara and any of the pizzas! My husband and I go here anytime we get a chance because it's just that amazing. You can't go wrong with their desserts either :)

This one-of-a-kind Vegan Italian restaurant has a menu full of mouth-watering dishes. From the savory pizzas to the sweet pastas, this place checks all the boxes for fine Italian dining. It is definitely in the pricier side, due to the fresh and organic imported ingredients. I highly recommend to any fan of Italian food, vegan or not, to see how you feel after indulging. After eating Lasagna, pizza and dessert, I still felt light due to the fresh and plant-based ingredients. Also, only get the Nutella pizza if you are really a Nutella lover!

Really delicious vegan Italian place. They also had amazing gluten free options. We ordered the almond ricotta pancakes, caccio e Pepe gf pasta, the mushroom pizza gf and my friend had the non gf pepperoni and pepper pizza. Everything was splendid. My highlight was definitely the mushroom pizza. The different elements of flavour were amazing. The restaurant has a slight upscale vibe but with a laid back feeling as well. Definitely a must try for anyone in the Redondo area. It ended up to be a fairly expensive meal so I would recommend this place as a fancy occasion option :)

Can't wait to go back!! We had the mozzarella sticks and pizza. Absolutely delicious! The service was fantastic. Trying one of their pasta dishes and salad next visit. EVERYTHING being served around us looked amazing!

Delicious food. As an east coast transplant, I finally found good Italian food and PIZZA. Staff is excellent, the patio is pet friendly, and the cocktails are amazing.

I'm not vegan, but if I lived closer I would eat here constantly. Love that they use nuts and not soy for their vegan cheese and creams. The mock mozzarella sticks are divine and truffle cream pasta with fermented black garlic was beyond amazing. Oh yeah, they have the best craft cocktails.
