   The gnocchi was the best I’ve ever had - anywhere! The butterscotch pudding was exceptional. This is my favorite restaurant. It never disappoints….

   A favorite of ours for 25 years. Still amazing, fresh pasta and pizza leveraging the bounties of California. Great service too.

   Wonderful meal on our last night in Half moon bay! We read so many good things and were very pleased. Servers were really nice, food delicious, drinks spectacular and really nice ambience. Our table was right in front of a fireplace and the whole experience was nice

    Host very friendly and helpful getting us an indoor table even though we booked an outside table; service was great. Clam chowder was delicious. The eggplant Parmesan was a lasagna, absolutely not what we were expecting so was disappointing.

    We eat at Pasta Moon regularly and last night was terrific as usual. We tried two new dishes: the special broccoli spinach soup was delicious; and the new gluten-free chocolate Budino with white chocolate, coconut topping on one half and caramel pomegranate sauce on the other half was out of this world! It is large enough for two to share. The entrees of Eggplant Parmesan and Lasagna are fresh-made, authentic, and huge; they can be shared as well. Bon Appetite!

    We sat in the bar to watch the Sunday night Wildcard game. Service was attentive without hovering, hostess, bartender, server and waitstaff were all kind and welcoming. The owner, Steve was charming and we enjoyed our chat with him. Cesar salad was fresh, perfectly dressed and anchovy that could be easily held back or enjoyed, smart. Cocktails were tasty, strong/ not overly strong. We had two pastas the bolognese and the chicken with cranberry. At first i had order envy because the bolognese looked so good and then I tasted the chicken and was very happy with my choice. The chicken was deliciously flavorful, the cranberries were halved which was perfect to add the sweetness without overdoing which I appreciated. We very much enjoyed our pastas. Also loved our desserts... the meyer lemon with a soft meringue and the chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. Will return to Pasta Moon the next time we are in the area.

    We really enjoy this place. Dinner last night was no exception. My appetizer the agnolotti was awesome; very rich and flavorful. I had the scallop risotto for dinner and again really enjoyed it. My wife had the warm date salad and gnocchi. Both were excellent. The place makes great cocktails as well. The best part though is the staff. They are friendly and attentive but not overbearing. It’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

    We were a table of four. Though we didn’t order the specials, we all felt our entrees could have been „chef‘s special“. The lasagna was absolutely the best, appetizers were delicious and beautifully plated. Service was tops, too, despite the restaurant being rather full. Definitely will dine again!

    We liked the place, but a few things would have made our experience better, ie: 1) a sign on the closed doors indicating where the entry door is; 2) freshly baked bread; 3) lower prices.

    First time at this location. Yes it’s been too long. The dining room is upscale and inviting. We had a great table along a corner so we we able to people watch. The service was top notch. We had calamari, salad, and had a ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection. The sorbet was refreshing and delicious as well. Next time I will go for some pasta starters … I know they are known for this as well. The cocktails were interesting and fun as well.

    I’m a local and I was once again astonished at the disappointing level of everything at this establishment. I brought 2 friends from out of country hoping it would be nice. Worse than ever and I fail to understand why it’s quite busy other than there’s a shortage of higher end eateries on our little coastal stretch here. Where could I even begin. It’s very pricey, fine if the fare and the service etc live up to it; not the case at all. The tables had apparently been newly varnished without it drying or curing. It was all sticky and one could not pick up a wine glass without it sticking to the table so hard it almost broke in one’s hand. The server and wait staff were totally inexperienced and harassed our table repeatedly 5 times from the onset to choose our entrees when we hadn’t even enjoyed an appetizer yet. The placement of silverware was even wrong. Our food and meals were sub par, overpriced and disappointing. There was no professionalism nor proper timing with anything. I’ve had better service, food etc in a local pub. Never again and I live blocks away. What a shame! Boo Pasta Moon… you would not get away with this anywhere else. For shame.

    We live in Concord. When we discussed where we might celebrate our 50th anniversary we each chose Pasta Moon. That says it all. We love the new location. The staff is very friendly and efficient. It is all about teamwork and they are all winners. Leo was very patient with us and his menu insights were spot on. Since we were coming from Concord, we decided that a two night stay would make for a good visit. There is so much to do in Half Moon Bay. We will be coming back.

    The venue was lovely and the staff warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was not quite as delightful. The scallops with risotto was tasty but there were only three scallops for almost $40. We know restaurants are struggling with food prices just as all of us. The lasagna was tomato heavy with a bitter flavor and scant meat. This may be just our preference for taste as we know it is a favorite there. The portion of lasagna was huge. The persimmon salad was tasty and inventive Clam Chowder ok but nothing special Overall it was expensive and not sure worth the cost. Again, staff was very attentive and warm

    I think my first impression was tainted a bit since we had a 7:30 reservation for our anniversary and yet we had to wait 20 minutes for our table so it was almost 8 by the time we sat down. There was no apology for the wait and the host just acted like it was normal. The Brussels sprout chips were not great. They were just charred oily tiny leaves is a bowl so those were unimpressive. We both got pasta though which was the saving grace of the restaurant. Dessert was just ok. We had the warm apple crisp. It was too sweet and unbalanced and still a little cold in the center. The wait staff was ok. They were not rude yet they were not attentive either. We had to finally ask for bread. In all I would say that the pasta is great here but I’d like to see a bit more for the price and prestige.

    We had a lovely gathering of company employees to celebrate the holidays and give thanks for an incredible year. Pasta Moon was a delightful and intimate retreat perfect for our event. Our table was in the main dining room yet we felt completely private and engaged with our own group. Large holiday wreaths were displayed and votive candles twinkled around us. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. The wait staff had impeccable timing and the dishes were so good and plentiful, we took home leftovers. We will visit again and hopefully soon. Thank you Pasta Moon for a delightful and most memorable evening.
