Pura Vita - Redondo Beach

TO DIE FOR! My friend and I met here for her birthday and the overall experience was outstanding ???????? the food, drinks, atmosphere and service were on point. We have visited the other location before but were super impressed by the Redondo Beach restaurant! We loved the way it was decorated and has a really cute patio area for outdoor dining. The mozzarella sticks are the best I've ever had, and the carbonara is my all time favorite; along with the black magic pizza!We will be coming back very soon, 11/10 would recommend!!!

This place was delicious and the best vegan Italian food I ate in LA! The service was so kind, helpful, and attentive. The mozzarella sticks, carbonara, and dessert was devoured. LOVE THIS PLACE and have been here multiple times.

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 :

We've eaten at both locations multiple times, and keep coming back every time we're in Los Angeles. This is BY FAR the best vegan restaurant and in general, Italian restaurant (vegan or not) we've been to. Absolutely the best.

Honestly didn 't realize this was a vegan place, specializing in Intalian, until we saw 'cashew mozzarella ' as an ingredient, and noticed ALL the ingredients were plants, and they even had multiple gluten free options. The hostess asked if we had a reservation, and we did not, but they were able to seat us in less than 5 minutes. The seating consists of booths, tables, patio in the back, and even a table ledge at the front facing the street with a view of the ocean in theyoure in the right seat. Being near the beach, the attire ranged from collared shirts to shorts and flip flops. We usually order the basics for a first time visit, so we started with the Margherita pizza and Pura Vita Lasagna, adding aRose cider and beer to wash it down. We immediately had buyers remorse as the server brought our neighbors spaghetti and the AMAZING smell of garlic wafted our way. More exciting dishes were in store for us next time, we told ourselves. Theservers and staff were incredibly friendly and relatable, and the food and drinks soon arrived, much quicker than anticipated. Vegan or not, the pizza was one of the best cooked pies we 've ever had. A little bit of char on the outsidecrust, the crust was still tender and soft, but not chewey when you bit it. The cheese on top seemed to dissolve in our mouths it was so soft and creamy. Defintely looking forward to trying one with 'shiitake bacon ' next time. The lasagnawas similiar in texture, soft and easy on the palate, and the marinara was rich with subtle tomato taste. The Rose cider was a steal at 4$ a glass and a great companion to our food. Looking forward to our next visit to try different itemson the menu (and more pizza! .
