Pura Vita

The Best Dishes We Tried In May - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The menu at Pura Vita in West Hollywood has eight different pastas on the menu, but we went with the carbonara and black magic lasagna and ate them both with reckless abandon. The carbonara comes topped with avocado, egg, macadamia romano cream, and shiitake bacon, giving it an earthy saltiness. Plus, there was enough natural creaminess to make us forget we weren’t actually eating cheese. As for the lasagna, we tend to be wary of truffle-infused dishes as it’s a pretty powerful ingredient that’s often misused, but that was not the case for the black truffle cream. The actual truffle flavor itself was quite mild which allowed it to bring out the other flavors (mushroom, cashew ricotta, and pesto) without completely overpowering them." - the infatuation los angeles crew
