Pura Vita

This is a great vegan restaurant. We started with a few appetizers, and they were really, really good. For the entrées, the pasta and salad were both excellent and very satisfying. The dessert was the only part that didn’t stand out as much. Overall, it’s a great option for vegetarians or vegans, and definitely worth visiting.

First and foremost, I'm not vegan. I went for dinner because my daughter is vegan and she really likes the food there. That being said, I've been to other vegan restaurants and had better food, food that you might not even know was vegan. In my opinion (which doesn't necessarily count as the food is not catered towards my needs), it's mediocre. I will say that the desserts were fantastic. However, as mentioned, my daughter is very happy here so if you have someone that is vegan, you should definitely go as the people who are vegan will most likely really enjoy it.

I am in LOVE with the pasta at this place!! It's an unassuming exterior when approaching, but don't let that stop you from coming in and giving their menu a try!! Despite the small entrance, there's ample dining space that goes quite far back, so you should be able to find a comfortable table to sit at and relax. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, happy to answer any questions and promptly bringing out my wine and pasta in no time at all! For aperitivo hour, which is every afternoon until 4 or 5pm I believe, you can get a $10 white, red, or rose wine. I enjoyed a lovely (and generous amount of poured) rose wine while waiting for the Cacio E Pepe pasta, which was out only a few minutes later. The Cacio E Pepe, like everything on the menu here, is 100% plant-based/vegan! I

The most incredible vegan Italian food I’ve ever had. I got the Cacio E Pepe, tricolor salad and mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious. The mozzarella sticks taste just like I remember, the cheese is a bit soft but enough bite and flavor to feel like mozzarella. The Cacio E Pepe had the perfect creaminess to it just like the real thing and the semolina pasta is great. The tiramisu is a MUST, the best I’ve had hands down vegan or not. Also Ciara was our server, they did a tremendous job at taking care of us and noting our allergies. I don’t give 5 stars out lightly, but this restaurant is deserving and I can’t wait to come back.

Labeled as the first all-vegan Italian restaurant in US. Good food. Great staff and an absolutely unique vegan take on Italian cuisine. Finding a parking space is difficult.
