We love coming to Half Moon Bay when we are in Northern California. Fortunately for us, we had lunch at Frattoria E Mare. It's got a great vibe. This Italian Restaurant exceeded all our expectations. The food, service and ambience were fabulous. My wife enjoyed the lasagne, (perhaps the best she ever had). I had a delicious Penne Amatriciana. The salad was so fresh and scrumptious. The lunch prix menu offered dessert. I had the pannacotta and loved every spoonful.

Our waitresses are very good. However Navio called me the day before my reservation saying they needed to move my reservation time from 12:15 to 1:15. Something about a glitch in their system. Well that’s fine but I believe they should have apologized for the inconvenience as it wasn’t my fault at all. They didn’t apologize and even sounded snobbish on the phone. I certainly didn’t expect that from a 5-star hotel! I am disappointed with the service provided there.
