Our story

More than great food

Welcome to our vegan ghost kitchen, where plant-based living meets wellness! We are dedicated to serving up healthy, affordable Italian dishes that are packed with flavor and completely free of animal ingredients. Explore our menu, designed for the well-being of everyone — people, animals, and our planet. Join us on this flavorful journey to a healthier lifestyle!

At Plant Italia, we believe great Italian food doesn’t need animal products — it needs great ingredients, skilled hands, and a deep love for the craft. We’re a 100% plant-based Italian kitchen in Creve Coeur, MO, making every dish entirely from scratch, every single day. From our hand-filled toasted raviolis to our house-made sauces, everything comes from plants — and you can taste the difference.

Heritage

Serving greatness since 2013

Founded on Family Values

Plant Italia is a family venture from the team behind Bombay Food Junkies, one of St. Louis’s most beloved vegan restaurants. Led by Chef Krupa, a pioneer in the plant-based culinary scene in Saint Louis, we take pride in recreating classic dishes with a vegan flair.

After more than a decade of plant-based living and cooking, we saw something missing in the St. Louis food scene: a dedicated vegan Italian restaurant. Not an Italian restaurant with a few vegan options on the side — a place built from the ground up to prove that plant-based Italian food can be just as rich, comforting, and satisfying as the original.

A Little Taste of Tuscany

Chef Krupa leads the Plant Italia kitchen with over a decade of experience in plant-based cooking, following her success with Bombay Food Junkies. She developed every recipe on our menu — from the signature Chikn Alfredo to our house-made Toasted Ravioli, a plant-based take on St. Louis’s most iconic dish.

Her philosophy is simple: use fresh, high-quality ingredients, cook with olive oil instead of heavy processed fats, and let the natural flavors shine. Every sauce is made from scratch. Every pasta is prepared fresh.

Authentic Recipes Reimagined

Our menu brings together the best of Italian comfort food with a plant-based twist. Enjoy St. Louis specialties like our Toasted Ravioli and Fried Mozzarella Sticks, hearty pastas like Meatball Marinara and Garlic Shrimp, warm paninis on artisan focaccia, and house-made desserts including Tiramisu and Cheesecake.

We also offer gluten-free options and our popular Make Your Own Pasta, so you can build exactly the dish you want. Most mains are $10–$13 — because eating well shouldn’t cost a fortune.
