This is actually my first time going to Pasta Moon at its new location. We were going to sit outside however the air tonight is very smoky and so we decided to do takeout. My daughters favorite dish is the eggplant Parmesan and I decided to take her advice and order it also. It was ready for pick up within 15 minutes, was still warm and included two kinds of bread and extra Parmesan cheese. This was utterly delicious and new favorite dish. We look forward to coming again and sitting outside or doing takeout since that was fine.

Went twice in two days and devoured the choppino both times as it hit the flavor profile exactly (great fish stock/white wine/tomato broth! Also probably the best frito misto I've ever eaten! Chefs and line cooks are in the zone and in no mood to play (a good sign of serious food about to be served). Service was friendly and accommodating and I'd return when in the area. Great ambiance (the first evening playlist was a club vibe and the next evening featured down tempo soul)! Cool bar area with sports in too so there's that!

Had the most amazing date night dinner here, this is a great spot to celebrate a special occasion. Everything about both the interior and exterior of the restaurant was so picturesque, with so many lights and candles everywhere. The complimentary bread was so soft and lightly spiced with some herbs. We ordered the tagliatelle with fresh jumbo prawns, linguine with seared hokkaido sea scallops, and fritto misto (fried calamari and shrimp). Such generous portions of each, we couldn't finish between 2 people. Both the scallops and prawns were so perfectly cooked and tender. The tagliatelle was a cream sauce pasta with asparagus and proscuitto, and the linguine was an olive oil and garlic pasta with chili flakes and bread crumbs. I loved how the two dishes balanced each other out and would definitely order both again. You can definitely tell that the pasta is super fresh and homemade, it had the perfect chewy texture. Such friendly and welcoming staff, they really made sure we had a great meal and I highly recommend this restaurant, definitely will be back!

The service was subpar, and my boyfriend and I found ourselves continuously underwhelmed by the unprofessionalism exhibited by the staff. Upon arrival, the hostess was sat and appeared to be coloring. After being brought to our table, we were dismayed to notice dirty dishes and broken windows behind us. We chose to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt, as I have previously come and loved it and I thought I’d show my partner from out of town a local staple that I loved. We ordered the burrata as a starter, which was good enough, but then were incredibly dissatisfied with our entrees. My guest opted for the lasagna and was displeased with the blandness of the sauce and low quality of the cheese, especially coming from and Italian background. I opted for the braised quail ragú and was started by the underwhelming oration size and poor plating. At a fine dining restaurant , such as this, one would expect their food to be at least centered and their plate wiped of grease. After beginning to eat my meal, I was shocked to find a pair of quail bones which I had mistaken as the braised quail and put in my mouth. These bones were a clear choking hazard and after bringing it up to our server, she said she would have to ask the kitchen about whether or not it was meant to be there. In my eyes, this was not a question that had to have been asked. Thankfully, the management was kind enough to remedy the solution, though after this experience, it is safe to say I shall not be returning. I am saddened to see a local business I once believed to be great going down in their standards.

The staff was super arrogant and the service was horrible . We ordered vegetarian broccoli fritters and we mentioned to them that we are pure vegetarian make sure everything you serve is all vegetarian. They served us some sauce which has fish in it. After confronting they were not at all apologetic about it Infact they got more rude to us. Totally unpleasant and awful experience. I would definitely not suggest anyone to visit this place.

I love Pasta Moon, so delicious, and amazing atmosphere on the coast. Cioppino, Puttanesca, even the Butternut Squash Ravioli is incredible. Great dessert and fresh coffee too - which is important to me.

This was a very nice restaurant... nice and expensive to be exact... We are talking Italian food here friends.... pasta... as in the name "Pasta Moon"... I'm an Italian-American, so this isn't my first rodeo, but to say this meal was over priced would be an understatement.

Pasta Moon has been our favorite for several years. We would make the trek to HMB just to have lunch/dinner here. Our all time favorites are the tagliatelle pasta and mussels. Their thin crust pizza can never go wrong as well. Interior is huge and classy. Great for family events and business alike. We always had great service as well. On our most recent trip though, we found the mussels to be extremely salty. Even with bread and fries dipping we can't have more than a few. It was so nice they gave us extra bread to dip in the broth though. It was just incredibly salty to the point we can't taste much. The scallops on the special pasta were incredibly juicy and sweet, but we found the pasta a bit oily and saltier. Another small disappointment is that one of the tagliatelle pasta came at room temp with some of the pasta cold. The other one was piping hot though. Im glad my dad had that one since he enjoyed it. The pear pizza we had was delicious. We ordered a glass of red wine but it never came with the meal. It wasn't charged so I think it just didn't get added to our order. Overall still a great meal, but it wasn't as perfect as the previous trips. We'd still come back though and will try to save room for desserts next time.
Pasta Moon was absolutely delightful, a true treat for the senses. I ordered a salad and the eggplant parmesan with smoked mozzarella. The dish was well balanced and full of flavor without an over abundance of one ingredient. The vegetables were fresh with the right amount of tossed dressing and crunchies. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique take on some traditional dishes and looking to celebrate a special occasion. Suffice to say, I'm over the moon for Pasta Moon!

Terrific pasta, romaine salad had more core than leaves. Excellent service and attention.

Amazing food especially the rock shrimp thin pizza , and the disert. The featured 2007 wine of Napa Syrah is breathtaking. Service is excellent! A place to come back to.
