Chef Tara Punzone prepares an exclusive multi-course plant-based dinner menu to mark Pura Vita's eighth anniversary on September 8th.
Plant-based Italian that doesn’t feel like it’s trying to convert you. Just seduce you with carbs and candlelight. The room hums with date-night energy and regulars who “don’t even miss dairy,” swirling negronis like they’ve been vegan since birth. Creamy pastas, glossy sauces, parmesan that’s suspiciously convincing (it’s vegan, relax), and a tiramisu that could start arguments at a family dinner. Come hungry, order boldly, and prepare to defend cashew ricotta like it’s a core belief.
Spaghetti, avocado egg, macadamia romano cream, shiitake bacon. Popular vegan take.
King oyster mushroom scallops on linguine in garlic white wine sauce.
Layers of cashew ricotta and black truffle cream with pesto finish.
