Reviews for Pasta Moon in Half Moon Bay, CA
What can I say about this place....I don't know where to begin. The food, ambience and the service is just spectacular. The... service is michelin star worth, I kid you not! On our way out my wife had to use the washroom, so I was kind of waiting in thereception area and the owner of this magnificent place came over to ask how if we had enjoyed the evening. Look to set therecord straight, this guy knows his restaurant is top notch, no doubt about that but he still cares to hear the feedback withsuch humility. After talking to him for what turned out to be like 20 mins, my wife and I realized why this place was so good. The owner Steve and his sister have run this restaurant together for over 30 years, I think that's what he told us. The headchef with them for the last 28 years and the newest hiree was 2 years old. This is a complete family affair. No wonder thisplace was so good. The food spoke for itself. The burrata with eggplant was phenomenal. The lasagna was best I've had handsdown. My wife really enjoyed with risotto. Can't wait to go back! Read more
Went with my girlfriend and spent our 7 months together here. I had one of the linguine dishes. If you look at my photo, it... kinda looks like ramen noodles (and kinda even taste like ramen noodles?) Overall, it was good lol. Girlfriend had the ravioli.It was an entree however it was a bit sweet. Had an appetizer but I forgot the name. Read more
Food was delicious, portions were reasonable for the price. For what we ordered, the downers first, then all the good... ... Ordered 2 soups, the special soup of the day, corn soup with crab was probably the most disappointing given the $18 price tag,minimally justified with the small chunk of crab (the soup itself was good). The Ribollita was similar to a minestrone soup. Thesecond downer was that the pork chop wasn't stuffed as our friend recommended from their prior visit (it may have changed butthe receipt did list it as the stuffed pork chop). The good... the spicy rock shrimp pizza was fresh, the lamb special was atbone lamb and lamb sausage, both cooked very well. The smoked linguine sea scallops were delicious, only 3 scallops thoughthey were thick. For dessert we got the marscapone cheesecake, delicious might I add. The special was a strawberry rhubarbshortbread with vanilla gelato which was good. The shortbread by itself was a little dry but when mixed with everything else,perfect texture. Service was fantastic, we mentioned on OpenTable we were celebrating a birthday and they provided a card! Would go again for special occasions! Read more
Wow. Beautiful place, inside or outside. Amazing waiter. It was artichoke season and he created a special artichoke appetizer... for us. The person assisting the waiter was phenomenal. Great wine and food. The bread was fantastic with the olive oil andbalsamic vinegar. Read more
I was here at the old location 3 years ago and had 3 stars then too. So wasn't bad, let me get into details. First off, the new... location is beautiful and we were greeted nicely and promptly seated. We ordered the sausage pizza, which was super delicious,but really oily, short ribs marrow, which was just ok, mussels which were fantastic and the homemade linguine with AlaskanDungeness crab. I'm sorry, but the pasta was the most disgusting dish. It was terrible. It was supposed to be my dish but weonly finished half of it between my wife and I mostly just picking up the crab pieces which wasn't much. It was also $42. Themost expensive dish was the nastiest. It was gross. Our service upon entering was fantastic, but about halfway through we werebasically ignored having to wait over 20 minutes for a refill of water. Almost another 20 minutes after that just to get thecheck. Read more
