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.

    Owner sits the tourist in the patio with uncomfortable seats and reserves the inside for the locals . Food had deteriorated since the last time. Frito misto was soggy and oily Pasta were too aldente . While seafood were sparse and on the raw side. Too pricey for what you get. We miss the original pasta moon when it was still on Main Street. This is what happens when you get too big and you lose control of the quality of the kitchen .

    Because of travel for work and pleasure, we probably eat out close to a hundred times a year, for many years. I have never written a bad review before my experience at this restaurant. I made a reservation at the restaurant on March 27th. We arrived at the restaurant about 15 minutes before our reservation time. The host started to walk us to our seat. As we entered the dining area, I noticed the restaurant looked spacious, attractive and opened, with lots of empty tables. Patrons were scattered about, with only about 25% of tables being occupied. The host continued to lead us to a small, narrow back side room and sat us in the very corner where the sun was beating on us from the window. We were squeezed in a small area, with a family of 5, with a screaming toddler in front of us, and a couple dining right to the side of us. I set my purse on the window sill for about 3 minutes, and noticed I had ants crawling on it. Very disappointed in the experience. I would not return.

    We don’t normally drive 30 minutes out of our way to go to a restaurant since I only live two blocks to go to our local downtown. Service was fantastic, the appetizers were ridiculously good And we had the sausage mushroom pizza. I left there with a big smile .

    Lovely experience. Food is well priced and the pasta is to die for. Service is very attentive. Great ambience. For a 2-seat table, it was constructed against the wall and the seats side by side for a more intimate set up. Would highly recommend.

    Pasta Moon was incredible! Both the food and staff were impeccable. This is a gem of a restaurant with a menu full of unique Italian options. The food was not only delicious but plated beautifully. Every single item we ordered we raved about. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very attentive. We will be back!

    All their house-made pastas are incredible: Pappardelle, Pasta Moon Lasagne, Spaghetti Puttanesca. The Affettati Platter was a delightful surprise.....very extensive, with excellent choices.
