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 have been there 3 times now and every single time the food was exceptional. Every single item we have ordered salads, soup, appetizers, main courses and desserts were seasoned to perfection. I don't know how they do it, but it is always perfect. I fancy myself as quite a cook, but I am so impressed with their palates. The service is great, also, always there when you need them.

    Food and ambiance were great. Service was solid until we opted not to get dessert and asked for our check. We were the last table in our section (at 6:50pm). We waited for the check; finally went to the bar at 7:10 pm and asked the person who cleared our table if it was still possible to get our check. Our wait person visited us at 7:15 pm with our check. They were apologetic, but made it clear they had been focused on serving their other patrons. Who knows how long we would have waited; if we had not gone looking for help. The whole experience ultimately felt very disrespectful.

    Service was exemplary as usual. Sausage pizza was excellent-very rich and flavorful. Casa salad-good. The brussel sprout chips were very tasty but too greasy. Have had them before and they have been excellent. These just had too much oil

    The service could have been better. Our party all felt that the wait staff could have been more attentive toward our group. Our reservation was at 6:30pm, however we didn’t get seated until 6:45-6:50. We waited at least an hour for our food, mainly because we watched it sitting at the kitchen for a while.

    Beautiful place for a nice romantic dinner. Disappointed about the price, considering on open table it has the 2 dollar sign and says meals are all under $30, maybe appetizers, but not meals…a lot more expensive. Only downfall about this place. Food was great, except vegetable were mushy, overly cooked.

    Pasta Moon is our staple for celebrations. The food is ALWAYS fantastic, ambiance is great, no rush, friendly and knowledgeable. You literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu and the portions are huge! Wine selection is impressive and the bar s just as fun. This restaurant is better than most all up and down the Bay, from Palo Alto to the City. Worth driving for!!

    Food was excellent. Portions were generous. Our waiter was very inattentive, perhaps having to cover many tables. But not really pleasant at all. Other staff members were helpful.
