    Mezza Luna has the best Italian food in San Mateo County. The setting is beautiful and the service is outstanding. This is go-to place for special events, ranging from tables for two to parties of 20 or more.

    Very good pasta is the main choice at Mezza Luna. We enjoyed penne with seafood and linguine with fresh seafood. Old fashioned ambience with very attentive service
