About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Located in the historic 1906 Princeton Inn at Half Moon Bay Harbor, Mezza Luna Restaurant has been serving authentic Italian cuisine for over 30 years. Just 20 miles south of San Francisco and a short drive from Silicon Valley, we’re a favorite coastal destination for locals and visitors alike. Enjoy fresh local seafood, housemade pastas, and our signature Ravioli Mezza Luna—salmon-stuffed ravioli in a light tomato cream sauce. Perfect for celebrations, our warm and inviting atmosphere features vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a full bar. We offer two private banquet rooms for 40 to 110 guests, ideal for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and special events. Steps from the harbor and nearby hotels, Mezza Luna is the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Come see why we’ve been voted Best Italian and Best Overall Restaurant on the Coast.

    Delightful lunch date spot! The service was amazing, and the food exceeded expectations. The garlic bread was soft and flavorful, and the vegetarian pastas (ravioli with tomato sauce and bow tie pasta with pesto sauce and pine nuts) were delicious. In the desert vulcano (lava cake) tasted amazing. Great atmosphere for a casual lunch date. Highly recommend!

    You can't beat Mezza Luna for a dependable and enjoyable experience. The food is first rate, the ambiance is open and airy and delightful and the service staff works wonders. Don't miss this place...or should I tell no one and hope that it won't get too popular? I hope all the best for this wonderful institution.

    Humberto is a great waiter. The fish was cooked perfectly. Lots of noise; it depends a lot on where you’re seated.

    Mezza Luna is one of our coastside favorites! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great and it's quiet so that you can carry on conversations with your table mates. We love Mezza Luna!
