Pasta Moon

One of Half Moon Bay’s most popular restaurants, Pasta Moon is always packed to the gills with locals and tourists filling up on massive portions of hearty Italian-American fare. With its vaulted ceilings and multiple intimate dining rooms, it’s a hit among diners of all ages, especially those seated at tables with a view of the lovely side garden. House-made pastas steal the show, with tempting options like the delicate 30-layer lasagna filled with ricotta, parmesan and house Sicilian sausage (even the half portion is huge). A grilled pork chop stuffed with peaches, pancetta and caramelized onions then arrives with mascarpone mashed potatoes. The butterscotch pudding (with shards of Ghirardelli chocolate, natch) is bound to send you over the moon.– MICHELIN guide inspectors

SUPPORTING LOCAL FARMERS & RANCHERS

Pasta Moon is committed to the Farm to Table concept just as it was 30 years ago!

Kim Levin – Chef/Owner of Pasta Moon strongly believes in giving back to the community and supporting local coastside farmers, ranchers, fishermen and gourmet artisans(Daylight Farms, Harley Farms, Fat Cabbage Farm, Fifth Crow Farm, Markegard Family Farm and Pie Ranch just to name a few). In fact, these elements are the core of the Pasta Moon identity along with Kim’s passion and creativity. Our menu rotates regularly depending on what’s in season, bringing our guests a contemporary Italian dining Experience that is unique and eco-friendly!

It all started with my first trip down the coast, which brought me to HWY 92 dotted with local fruit & vegetable stands. My personal love for fresh ingredients grew into a key element of the Pasta Moon concept as I came to know the local farmers and their quality products; all part of the coastal lifestyle I found so inviting here in Half Moon Bay.

Pasta Moon started out as a passionate concept where I could keep myself busy and enjoy the lifestyle of a small coastal town. Originally Pasta Moon was a place for people to dine on cuisine derived of locally grown organic produce, fish, meats and cheese supplied from local ranchers and dairies. Soon however my love for Italian cuisine compelled an ever-growing compulsion to express my creativity in the kitchen and had me composing variations on classic Italian dishes. Half Moon Bay is the perfect spot for this culinary adventure, I couldn’t resist this unique location that offered my ideal in terms of ingredients, and the peaceful pace of such a lovely rural area nestled on the coast, surrounded by a spectacular beach and nature setting.

Pasta Moon, an innovative footprint of Italian cuisine right here on the Californian coast, 30 years of making house-made pasta, pizzas and desserts, divine according to Michelin!
