  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    I have a lot of food restrictions. They were so willing to accommodate. Gluten Free Bread was one of the best I have ever had. Their GF pasta was also delicious.

    Ordered four dishes and waited for 52 minutes (after checked in with waiters for three times). We finally decided to find other place for our lunch. Not sure what’s wrong with it.

    We eat out a lot and Pasta Moon is now in our top 5. Everything about this restaurant is above average and with excellent food and service we’re sorry we didn’t try it sooner! The desert menu is too thoughtful and the Thin Mint dessert cocktail is amazing reminiscent of the old “grasshopper “. YOU MUST TRY !

    We had booked a table outside since we were bringing our two small dogs. On arrival, we were told there was no outside seating since it is February, but perfectly ok to sit inside. Very accommodating. We asked to be seated in a corner if possible since we are not used to bringing our little terriers into a nice restaurant and felt uncomfortable due to inconveniencing others, but the pups behaved. All went well. Staff could not have been nicer. Three of us shared a pizza, salad and pasta dish, all delicious. Their wine list had some really nice Italian reds. We had a wonderful experience and dinner.

    The food was amazing. My porkchop was cooked perfectly. My wife's squash raviolis were also amazing. The wait staff was very attentive. Would definitely come back.
