  • 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.

    Monday evening at Pasta Moon can’t be beat. Combine the ambience of the bar (including piano player) with a great menu and you have all you need for a perfect experience.

    The food is always delicious at Pasta Moon. Tonight I had shared the lasagne and sausage pizza. Both were delicious and mad to perfection. The others in our party had pasta dishes and they enjoyed them thoroughly as well.

    Great food, great team and great table. Sausage pizza is always the way to start the meal. Easy to create a tasting for the table between the creative apps, pastas and specials.

    We’v dined there before but this visit was disappointing. The food (chicken and lasagna) was not what we expected. Service was very good. We were disappointed.

    Pasta Moon never disappoints. I can always count on a relaxed meal with excellent service and superb menu options. The local fresh seasonal food is always a delight. The staff seems to know when to approach the table, so our conversation is not interrupted.

    We love Pasta Moon! Haven’t been in awhile, but we’re happy it’s as good as last year! Maybe better. Beautiful decor, spacious and clean, and Pablo was a fantastic server. Delicious food, always.

    Excellent service and ambiance. Food was great with some new choices. Stuffed pork chop was the highlight for me especially the mascarpone mashed potatoes! Always consistently the best on Half Moon Bay.
