" Pura Vita is a true hidden gem in West Hollywood. I recently celebrated my anniversary here, and it was the perfect romantic setting. The food was exquisite; the carbonara had the texture and taste reminiscent of the real deal, even being vegan! We didn’t make a reservation and were lucky to get a table, so I advise that if you can, book in advance. It's definitely on my radar for our next date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this spot after hearing great things, but my experience was mixed. The ambiance was lovely and the staff was friendly. I ordered the special pasta, and while it was good, I felt the flavors didn't pop as much as I expected. I also tried the tiramisu, which was a pleasant surprise! I’d like to try other dishes in the future—here’s to hoping for an even better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pura Vita twice in one month! Their cacio e pepe is fantastic; creamy, flavorful, and perfectly al dente. I love that they make their cheeses in-house, which adds a unique touch to every dish. Service was friendly and prompt, though it could feel a bit rushed at peak times. Also, the outdoor seating area has a nice vibe. Can't wait to go back for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I was not blown away by the flavors in my dish. I had the lasagna, which was a generous portion but lacked the boldness I expected from Italian cuisine. On the upside, the service was excellent and the ambiance cozy. I might give it another shot for a different dish on my next visit, but I can’t say I’m rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a spot! This vegan Italian restaurant is now one of my favorites! I tried their unique wellness pizza, topped with loads of veggies and an incredible house-made cheese that made it unforgettable. The vibe was casual, making it a perfect Saturday afternoon hangout with friends. Highly recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Meh, I wasn't impressed with the food. The lasagna had a bland sauce and the portion was small for the price. I had great service, but it couldn't make up for the food. The ambiance was nice, but that’s not what I came for. I hoped for a better experience, maybe I just chose wrong from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly admired my meal at Pura Vita. Each item I ordered felt crafted with care and great quality. The cacio e pepe was light yet fulfilling; it's clear they take pride in their dishes. The only downside was the busy nature of the restaurant—it can get quite loud—but that just adds to the overall lively atmosphere. I can't wait to try more! " (*Curated Review*)
