This vegan restaurant has garnered praise for its satisfying pasta and salad entrées, with multiple reviewers highlighting these dishes as standouts. The appetizers have also been consistently praised, with reviewers noting that they are "really, really good." While the restaurant's exterior may be unassuming, it offers ample dining space and friendly service. However, reviewers have noted that the dessert offerings do not quite live up to the standard set by the rest of the menu.

Excerpts

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 love finding great spots with healthy, plant-based food - especially when the food is absolutely AMAZING! And that's what Pura Vita is - not only is it one of my favorite vegan pastas...but one of my favorite restaurant pastas - PERIOD! The prices are a bit steep, with the Cacio E Pepe and several of the other pastas being $28+....but that's just what you got to expect when it comes to dining in WeHo. And the quality and flavor is most certainly there, so I'm willing to enjoy a delicious pasta here from time to time! If you're looking for a chill spot with excellent service, amazing pasta, and healthy, plant-based ingredients...Pura Vita is DEFINITELY the spot in West Hollywood. I say give it a visit the next time you're nearby!!
