About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
A popular destination in Half Moon Bay for 30 years, Pasta Moon Restaurant serves contemporary Italian cuisine using the freshest local produce available- in fact, easily the finest dining on the coast; (and not the most expensive!). You'll find a cozy setting for lunch or dinner, surrounded by old arched casement windows which once brought light into the Burlingame Public Library, and you'll be served by an attentive and knowledgeable staff.

    There is no better restaurant. Halibut was excellent. Had a watermelon lemon drop. As always, the drink was made perfectly. And that’s what sets the restaurant apart from the others - perfection. Every detail of every dish is as good as it gets, including the cocktails.

    We have eaten there many times over the years. About 4-6 times in the last year. It has always been fabulour until this visit. The waiter was very in attentive. Had to ask for almost everything. Very slow and did not check back in with us. He looked to be very attentive to everyone else, but not our table. I don't know what the problem was. But I was showing the restaurant off to my family and it was very disappointing. The ahi linguine was very salty, but the waiter never checked on us to let him know. I had to run him down to get the check so we could leave.

    We had a wonderful evening at Pasta Moon. However the prices charged were much higher than they should be. $42.00 for Lasagna ? Nope, not doing that again.
