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.

    We always love Pasta Moon! Fresh seasonal options with big flavor, alongside some Italian classics. We’ve had the same server twice, a gentleman in his 50s, and he has the loveliest serene demeanor. We’ll be back again.

    There were almost too many intriguing choices. It's a great problem to have. Honed in on some deep-fried stuffed squash blossoms and the nectarine salad for starters, which went well with the Ca del Bosco sparkling wine. Both appetizers were delicious, and with nectarines in season, I will try adding them to my usual microgreens salad at home, but may grill them for a little extra flavor. The olive sampler was also quite good. For main courses we selected some pumpkin ravioli and the pork chop. My wife enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli very much. The pork chop was enormous and beautifully cooked. Really enjoyed the broccolini and turnips that came with it. The wine list was extensive, and included the same Chianti from Monsanto that was among the wines we had for our wedding dinner, forty years earlier to the day. Obviously a more recent vintage, but it seemed like fate that it was on the wine list. Still a very lovely wine. A bit of shared dessert and some grappa topped off a lovely meal. Looking at what others at nearby tables were eating, the pizza looked delightful, and perhaps on some future visit I'll try it. A memorable meal. I'd be happy to eat there again next year when we visit Half Moon Bay again.

    Wonderful food. Accommodating service. Half of our party was late and it wasn’t a problem. Server paid attention to my food allergies. A special occasion favorite.
