Since opening in the fall of 2018, Pura Vita has attracted people near and far with its diverse and authentic plant-based Italian menu. Ask any vegan on the West Coast about their top restaurants, and chances are, Pura Vita will be one of the first names mentioned.

From the immersive venues, impeccable service, and mind-blowing dishes, Pura Vita is one of the best vegan restaurants in Los Angeles—all thanks to the inspiring and talented vegan female chef Tara Punzone.
