This is a nice Italian restaurant! It's on the pricier side for me so I'd only go for a special occasion, but I believe everything on the menu will be delicious and well worth it! I got the butternut squash ravioli after enjoying it so much last time. The cocktails and desserts are also very good!

We have been there 3 times and every time the food was wonderful! Today, the owner saw my 5yo was upset because she lost her toy between the benches and he asked us to wait and got her toy back (we tried and thought the toy was lost forever). They are so super nice! Very kid friendly place. And again, the food is amazing!

We loved Pasta Moon but it was closed during Covid. When it opened again it only had dinner slots. Finally back for lunch, very tasty food and lovely service. The new location is very beautiful and full of light.

Dined here with a few friends and we had a great time! Food was delicious (I got the clam chowder) and our server, Juan Carlos P., was a delight. The outdoor seating is lovely as well!

Incredible staff working there, just so helpful, kind, and efficient. The food was so delicious, and came with a really yummy complementary bread. My spaghetti puttanesca was amazing, with really fresh seafood. Their drinks are also fabulous, a huge selection of options. The interior is just beautiful, very high end. Highly recommend!

Great eaterie with delicious food. Red pasta with mushrooms was out of this universe. Love it. The service was excellent. I’ll suggest substitute tips of noodles for the crab pasta. One we got was over cooked and felt like in a soup.

lol... we were bamboozled to say the least. The $20 price listed for their parpadelle Pancetta and the "casual" vibe listed on their Yelp wasn't what we walked into hahaha my bf and I wore sweats, hoodies, and flip flops to Pasta Moon! We were seated at a table next to the man playing the GRAND PIANO and everyone around us was dressed to the nines lol. The same $20 pasta we saw on yelp was actually $35 too. Price aside... it was all yummy. OUR ORDER: -Spring spritz (non-alcoholic): 10/10 -Red Wine (?): bf liked it! -Pappardelle Pancetta: 8/10 wide noodles were a treat! delicious tomato cream sauce -Soppressata: 6/10 not a big fan of the cracker crust. toppings were too heavy for it (should've been thicker) and too salty imo -Short rib bone marrow agnolotti: 7/10 yummy; basically a bone marrow ravioli! Browned butter sauce was richhh -Chocolate hazelnut truffle cake: 9/10 basically a ferrero rocher Overall, a very posh restaurant, but I still believe it wasn't worth the splurge. It was my fault for not looking into the details beforehand lol.

We came for lunch and instantly loved the atmosphere inside. They have high ceilings and string lights to create an intimate setting. We got seated in their enclosed patio area next to the window. It's a great place for a date. The service was good and the food was even better. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. We wanted to try the cobbler but didn't have room - note that it takes 15 minutes to prepare if you're thinking about having it! Also saw a small area near their wine room for private events.

TL;DR: The perfect restaurant for when you want to go out a little more fancy, have tasty food, and a very pleasant ambiance Food is a bit pricy, but for what you get (and accounting for the fact that it's Half Moon Bay), solid value. We got the following items: - fried calamari/shrimp: quite yummy but a bit soggy. Not as much crunch as I expected, but the variety of pieces was tasty - tagliatelle with fresh jumbo prawns: very creamy and the noodles hold the sauce so well. Prawns must've been at least GMO or something (I'm joking) because they were huge and so tasty. The slices of asparagus were the perfect touch to add some color to the dish - linguine with seared hokkaido sea scallops: the scallops are TO DIE FOR!! So large and the texture was so soft and melt-in-your-mouth. I've never had scallops taste this fresh before. The linguine was also springy and you could definitely tell they were handmade. Bread crumbs were an excellent touch. I think it was a tad bit too oily for my liking though Definitely the perfect date night spot. The staff were also very nice and constantly checked in on us (and gave us all the free bread we wanted :))
