    Branzino was fantastic! Would love to go back for more. Highly recommended! We had a reservation and were on time but had to wait around 20 mins. Server was great and the ambience was welcoming. We weren't too fond of the limoncello tiramisu

    Charming décor

    Superb dining in Half Moon Bay - we stopped by for a late Sunday lunch after spending a couple of hours at Pescadero Beach. We were instantly hooked by the character of the space and the charming décor. Chef Pablo Estrada and his team have done a top notch job creating a welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted warmly and seated in the side room near the open kitchen, and ordered drinks and mocktails. My wife let me taste her espresso martini, which was refreshing! We then shared risotto fritters, pesto pizza, and a Belgian waffle with fried chicken - they were all delish! Then it was time for our favorite course - dessert! We opted for the triple chocolate lava cake and the limoncello tiramisu (over the panna cotta), which arrived soon and looked enticing. We demolished the lava cake, but the tiramisu tasted a bit off, so we let our server know. This was the moment when this lovely family establishment shone! And elevated our experience from very good to exceptional! They showered us with desserts till we could not eat another bite! -- Dark chocolate torte from their prix fixe menu - delightful! -- Panna cotta with vanilla bean and pistachio - probably some of the best I've ever tasted! -- And then the grand finale - freshly made matcha tiramisu - which the chef personally brought to our table, and insisted we try! "If you don't like it, I'll comp your whole meal," he declared! Not a chance! This was heaven on a plate, and we ate it in respectful silence! I glanced at the bill - we hadn't paid for any dessert besides the lava cake! Thank you Fattoria E Mare. We are now fans for life, and will be back! It is more than worth the one-hour drive from the East Bay!!

    It was another beautiful day in Half Moon Bay, not too sunny, not too cloudy, just right. We decided to try Fattoria E Mare. The interior is spacious with a rustic, woody, old school feel. For our meal, we ordered the linguine al limone, mussels, and a seafood omelette. The mussels were large but a bit chewy and lacking in flavor. The pasta was citrusy a bit too heavy on the lime for my taste. The omelette was just okay. On the bright side, the service was pleasant. Overall, it was not bad experience. It really sits right between 3 and 4 stars, but I'm leaning toward giving them a 4.

    Fabulous fine wine selection to boot!

    The food here is always a fresh take from the inspired Chef Pablo Estrada. We come here for the prefix menu because it is sure to impress. The service is intentional and timely. We love the ambiance here and love taking guests from out of town for a special occasion.

    A pretty solid spot for pasta in Half Moon Bay! I visited for a company dinner and it was nice how they were able to accommodate such a large party. We had a group of maybe 12-15 people and we were sat in a private room at the back. I ordered the hand cut fettucine with crab and a tomato sauce and it was delicious! The crab tasted fresh and the pasta wasn't too heavy either. The portion was so filling that I ended up eating half and the other half reheated fairly well too. Service was great! They checked in on us regularly. Food took a while to come out, though we did have a big group so that was understandable.

    My wife and I came by for a Wednesday night dinner around 6:45PM. Probably because it was during the middle of the week, the restaurant was pretty empty with only about 5 parties when we walked in. Given the space, I'm sure this place is bustling during the weekends so I cannot complain when I got a parking spot right out front and got seated immediately upon entering. Food: we were quite hungry when we arrived and definitely overestimated our appetite...especially my wife. Fried Calamari & Asparagus - 4/5 - great starter; I didn't eat the calamari due to my health condition but the batter was very light and crispy, which is what I enjoyed. A bit overkill with the amount of sauce that was given to us on the side though. Focaccia Garlic Bread - 3/5 - I would order just 1; we ordered 2 because we were hungry and I think it took up too much space in our stomachs. It's good but not super memorable. Pappardelle Pasta - 2.5/5 - Gosh, I wish this was less salty. The flavor and texture of the pasta was great but it was WAY too salty. I was washing my mouth with water continuously eating it. Bianca Pizza - 4.5/5 - Delicious! I'm a sucker for wood fired Italian pizza, especially ones with lots of mushrooms. It just was a bit hard texture wise. But the flavor was all there!! Pan Seared Whole Branzino - 5/5 - The best dish of the night. The fish was HUGE!! The skin was extra crispy while the meat was flaky, falling right off the bones. It was cooked perfectly to my liking! We immediately finished this one first and ended up taking the others to go because the fish needs to be enjoyed fresh. Glad we did. I would highly recommend this dish! We also got the Strawberry Tiramisu to go. Unfortunately, we ate it a day later after it was in the fridge so I feel it would be unfair to rate this. Ultimately, it was a bit too light for us and we prefer tiramisu on the "heavier" side. It had the texture of a coffee sponge cake instead of thick, creamier tiramisu. Overall, this was a wonderful experience for us to celebrate our anniversary. I don't know how this place would be on the weekends but we didn't have to wait and the food was delicious. I'd still recommend they cut down on the salt on some dishes though....

    First let me say that their customer service is so lovely here! We came twice in one day . For dinner and after our daughter's game for dessert. Our waiter the first time was very welcoming and helpful I unfortunately did catch his name and he also said hi when we came back for dessert again great customer service! And our waiter for dessert she was so nice we sat outside this time she came cleaned our table and recommended some dessert, I loved the coconut cheesecake. Both of our waiter gave us great service, nothing like going to a restaurant to eat great food and have my family be treated nice and respectful we will definitely be coming back ! Now the food just delicious, loved the Calamari very fresh and tasty we had two orders that's how tasty it is. My hubby got the branzino, that was delicious, the fish was cooked so nicely, sauce and veggies just was a very exquisite plate. He loved it and I tried it and loved it. Braised beef pasta with truffle oil was very tasty, and delicious! big beef serving they definitely don't skimp on meat portion. We really recommend this place food and service are worth it, Money well spent! Very nice and quiet ambiance, it's a very nice restaurant. Loved dining indoor for dinner and loved coming back for the experience outside for dessert.

    Pappardelle Alfredo with Chicken

    We went in at 12ish lunch hour. Not crowded at all. Was trying to get garlic bread but menu updated already so we only got the Alfredo chicken pasta and margarita pizza. To be honest both are prepared not the way we expected but the pasta was really good, though it would be nice to not have any carrots. The pizza crust is good but the tomato sauce taste a bit different than what we are expecting. The restaurant is on pricy side but overall ok.

    Seafood and Italian restaurant in HMB. SF chef Pablo Estrada started Fattoria E Mare in Burlingame and this location near the beach is newer. It was cold and gray and Italian food sounded perfect for lunch. It's located on Main Street so parking can be challenging but we were lucky to get a spot at the thrift store across the street. Interior feels very coastal and intimate with the use of of wood floors and table tops and that distinctly painted blue wall. Service was very good but we noticed the food took quite awhile to prepare, I want to say it was a good 25 minutes before anything showed up at the table. Wood-Fried Pizzas: This is what my wife and kids really wanted. Got pepperoni and arugula, olives, prosciutto, and pepperoni. Both tasted OK though there are better places for pizza like this but not around HMB. Seafood Linguine: Shrimp and clams. Tasted good but there was so much liquid in the bowl it was almost like a soup. Purple Haze Cocktail: The name and ingredients sounded cool, it was a very easy drink to have though I wish I would have gotten wine.

    The food and service were good, however... it's super slow, everything took time so have patience. Especially if you get there first thing in the morning. They didn't seemed prepared when we got there and when we left I noticed 3-4 more employees showed up. Also, the music was terrible... one minute rock, then Italian then American. It was weird and through the vibe off. The beet salad was really good. There was only 2 scallops for the appetizer that sucked. Pizza and salmon also good.

    Gnocchi

    Met the head chef during yelp events before, been dying to come back since. Went on a Friday night for dinner, made a reservation online. Such a cool atmosphere and overall experience, there's an amazing view of trees if you're lucky enough to get a window seat. Came with my partner this time, and was so excited for it. If I had the money for it, and the will to drive here all the time I would try all the seasonal menu changes. My order: Appetizer - Focaccia bread, this is literally the best focaccia bread I've ever had. It's almost biscuit-y. Gnocchi with pesto - First bite you can already taste the homemade freshness of the pesto and the perfect gnocchi texture. Didn't think it would be very filling without protein, but it sure was. Short rib and tripe fettuccine - This is my boyfriend's order, he loved it very much. He's not really into tripe, but he really enjoyed this( which is a shocker). Short rib was so tender, he did not want to share. LOL TLDR: It's priced how you expect really good quality food from. Would've been so much better if I was into wine with all the pairings they have. Wish we had more room for dessert, but will definitely come back.

    A solid Italian place with good service but inconsistent food quality. Lots of Italian places in the area and at this price point, it doesn't stand out, so maybe a tad shy of 4 stars for me (3.8). Really liked the complimentary toasted focaccia bread! We had a couple of them! Next, I shared the Butter lettuce salad and it was refreshing and tasty with pears and tangy vinaigrette dressing. For my entree, I had the Spaghetti Chitarra Al Nera squid ink pasta with shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari. Good amount of seafood but unfortunately the sauce was bit too salty. A touch of cheese or pepper to top it might have helped. My buddies had the grilled Branzino and short rib pappardelle. Agreed that it was fine but they've had better. I also had a glass of Zinfandel from their wine list and that was fine, too, but average. Glad to have tried it but many other good restaurants still to try nearby!!

    Second time here and we go because it's pet friendly. Food is good - on this trip we ordered appetizers. Nice outdoor parklet with is great for our pup. Even better on a sunny day!

    Do they still offer gluten-free pasta and gluten-free pizza? How about gluten-free bread?

    Which of the vegetarian/vegan options can be made allium-free (no onion, no garlic)?

    I suggest that you call the restaurant and ask the manager.

Their Sicilian pizzas take about 30-40 minutes to cook, but they had this whole pizza available for by-the-slice so they just heated it up for us. If you're familiar with Detroit style pizza, this is similar. The crust is pillowy, soft, and herbaceous. The generous portions of sauce, cheese, and toppings are almost too heavy for the crust so you definitely need both hands to pick up a slice. The pizza is basically dripping with decadence -- normally the small is split into 4 slices but we asked them to split it into 6 -- definitely the right move. I have a smaller appetite and one and a half slices was more than plenty for me, while my buddy who has a much larger appetite had three slices. I definitely recommend asking for ranch and hot sauce if that's you're thing since they' really enhance the experience.

    For years, Verrazzano has been our to-go for pizza in HMB. I have previously written a 5-star Yelp…read morereview about them. There have always been occasional problems with consistency, but when they were on their game the pies were absolutely delicious, which is why we were loyal customers. Our fridge is festooned with the colorful and imaginative stickers that seal the Verrazzano delivery boxes. Unfortunately, our last two pizzas (we order about once every two weeks) have been simply awful. We thought maybe the first one was a fluke, but the second one was the just same. Verrazzano have definitely changed to cheaper ingredients, so cheap that we didn't even feel like finishing the pies. We always order the same combo, so the change was quite pronounced. The crust was sad, the cheese was different and tasted weird, the olives tasted like they were the cheapest tinned brand possible. Half the onions were raw. Such a comedown, and not worth the money now.

We arrived around 1 PM on a Saturday, so we fully expected it to be busy. What we didn't expect was a parking lot with only about 10 spaces. You can't park along Highway 1, so if the lot is full, your only real option is finding a spot in the neighborhood or on one of the side streets behind the restaurant. There's no indoor seating, but they do have two separate outdoor seating areas. There's only one register for ordering, and the line was pretty long. It took us about 20 minutes to place our order. They give you your drinks and a buzzer, and then you find a table and wait for your food. We sat in the garden area, which we really liked, but after about 30 minutes I was starting to wonder if our buzzer was even working. Of course, right as I got up to go check on our order, it went off. It's a little difficult to rate the service because there really isn't much service. You place your order at the counter, get your own water and condiments, pick up your food when it's ready, bus your own table and throw away your trash. I also couldn't find silverware anywhere after picking up our food. They were still slammed, so I didn't bother trying to track someone down and we just ate with our hands. The good news is the food was excellent. We both loved what we ordered, and the fresh-cut French fries were especially good. The outdoor setting and garden area also have a really nice atmosphere. The biggest disappointment came when we went to clean up our table. The trash cans were completely overflowing with plates and garbage piled on top, and it looked like nobody had cleaned the area in quite a while. I actually had to push the trash down just to make room for ours. So overall, excellent food and a great outdoor setting, but between the parking, long wait, almost entirely self-service setup and overflowing trash, there's definitely room for improvement.
