About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

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.

    The hostess welcomed us graciously and paid attention to my request for my mobility challenged MIL to have an easy time getting to the table and if there was a good view. She sat us at the perfect table. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was so good! Perfectly timed and balanced. Drinks were refreshed regularly. It was a great dining experience and a really good value. I will make this a staple restaurant each time we visit Half Moon Bay.
