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.

    Today was a great day! We have not been to Pasta Moon since Covid. To our pleasant surprise, the restaurant had moved. We arrived and it was great to finally have dedicated parking. The interior was amazing. The seating was perfect. Our server Barbara V was great. She was very friendly, engaging, helpful, very pleasant and professional. I had the opportunity to speak with the owner or manager. In my haste to explain how amazing everything was, that I neglected to ask her name. However, she was very delightful to meet and speak with. We will be back for dinner next time! Thank you Barbara V and thank you Pasta Moon! Nestor & Sanna Torres

    Its always great to eat at Pasta Moon and see that the kitchen's execution remains top notch and that the service is professional yet warm and friendly. We were impressed by both the specials that we had as well as the regular menu items. When eating in Half Moon Bay, this is the place to go.

    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.
