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.

    They seated us right away, even though we were an hour early. Their lamb chop was succulent. The strawberry rhubarb crisp was scrumptious. The service was great. We’ll be back again.

    We've been to Pasta Moon many times and have always been impressed by the quality and consistency of the food and service. The kitchen's execution is always on point, and they are continually adding new seasonal dishes with an innovative flare. This was the first time we went to their Mother's Day brunch special, and it was outstanding. The 3-course fixed-price menu was an excellent value and the food, as we've grown to expect, was superb. Can't recommend them enough.

    The pizza was outstandingii-italian sausage. The crusst was perfect, thin and bubbly. The ravioli were a bit oily but tasted good.
