In Italy, there’s an old tradition of eating gnocchi on Thursdays, so much so that they say “Giovedì Gnocchi.” 🇮🇹💛

We’re bringing the tradition to Pura Vita with fresh, handmade gnocchi every Thursday.

What people say

Vegetarian and vegan restaurants have been gaining popularity in recent years, and for good reason. These restaurants offer a wide variety of delicious plant-based dishes that are not only healthy but also environmentally friendly. One such restaurant that stands out is Pura Vita, located on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.

Pura Vita is a plant-based Italian ristorante and wine bar that offers an extensive menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The restaurant's chef, Tara Punzone, crafts each dish with love and care, using only the freshest ingredients to create flavorful meals that will leave you feeling satisfied.

One thing that sets Pura Vita apart from other vegetarian/vegan restaurants is their commitment to inclusivity. They celebrate diversity and welcome everyone with open arms, not just during Pride Month but all year round.

In addition to their regular menu items, Pura Vita also offers seasonal specials like the Pink Truffle Tagliatelle and Sandwich Butter Rainbow Cookies during Pride Month. And if you're looking for something specific, they even have exclusive dishes like the Spinach Artichoke Ravioli.

It's no wonder why Pura Vita has been nominated for Best Food&Drink Vegan/Vegetarian category in both the West Side - Downtown - East Los Angeles and South Bay - Long Beach - South Los Angeles - Southeast Los Angeles areas by the Los Angeles Times' The Best of the Southland. So why not vote for them and tag a friend to spread the word?

Overall, Pura Vita is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for delicious vegetarian/vegan Italian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.
