- SSusie RoseSan Francisco Bay Area •38 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMezzaLuna, located in Princeton Harbor, is a fantastic restaurant. The food, staff, and ambiance are excellent. We celebrated a special occasion there, and were welcomed like family. We started with calamari, which was tender and cooked to perfection. Our entrees were clam linguine, one red sauce and one white. Both were delectable with an abundance of clams in the shell. The sauces are unique to Mezza. We enjoyed an Italian Scarpone wine with our meal. Our dessert, a chocolate volcano, was the perfect sweet delight to complete our special occasion!More infoMezza Luna RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Half Moon Bay•4.7
- JJaimeSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was delicious! Service was great once we sat down at the table. Good value. The only problem we encountered was the downstairs bartender before we got our table we wanted to order drinks and as we came to the bar at 7:20 he said that the bar closes at 8:00 and had a bad attitude.More infoLa CostaneraPrice: Expensive• Peruvian• Half Moon Bay•4.6
- SStevenvipPhiladelphia County •27 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLasagna was fantastic. Not something I would usually order but it looked interesting on the adjacent table. Large helping was sitting in delicious sauce with sausage and cheese. Really outstanding taste. The stuffed pork chop was tender and juicy, cooked just right, surrounded with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Vegetables were crisp, not overcooked. Dessert was the lemon parfait, a mountain of sweet meringue on top of tart lemon sorbet for a tasty combination of sweet and tart tastes. The tables were spaced nicely so we didn’t feel cramped and the servers were all pleasant and attentive. Just a great dining experience.More infoPasta MoonPrice: Moderate• Italian• Half Moon Bay•4.7
