It's Italia

One random evening here and this became one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. Beautiful ambiance, the food was fantastic (especially the bread, wow), we just loved it here. 4.5 stars is way low in my opinion, this place should be 4.7-4.9 stars. We're going for our second trip just a few weeks after discovering it.

Lovely fancy family Italian restaurant with a great bar. The ribeye is really good. Very unique cocktails like the Ozark Billy Goat with Bourbon, maple and absinthe. Quiet comfortable atmosphere with different seating areas for all size groups, some large booths and tables.

4.5 stars. Great food and super cute patio. One highlight was the variety in their wine list, and was able to find a bottle Cinque Terre Wine from Linguria Italy. However, we felt service was lacking as it took multiple requests to get an ice bucket for the wine bottle and felt pacing with ordering could be improved. Despite this, the food quality and atmosphere easily made up for lacking service. I would recommend the pesto pasta and asking about the daily specials as the halibut was very fresh.

Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would most likely still come back. Maybe service is better inside rather than on the back patio.

Our go-to place for brunch when visiting Half Moon Bay on Sundays. Our favorites are the creme brule french toast and breakfast pizza. Fresh made scones are always delicious. We also enjoy their brunch cocktails, particularly their espresso martini.

When available, I recommend sitting on the patio on a nice day - it's so cute with beautiful plants, lighting, water feature and little fireplaces useful in the winter. And it's dog friendly! The staff are so kind and friendly, very fast service everytime we come.

Their focaccia is SO GOOD. It was served warm and I could've gladly finished it all myself. We also ordered the four cheese flat bread, seafood risotto, and the chicken marsala with a couple of drinks. Great experience and really good food.
