Today was a rare and unusual day. Not only did I take a day off … the weather in Half Moon Bay was perfect! 

My son and his girlfriend and I went to Pasta Moon to celebrate my son’s birthday. If you have not been to Pasta Moon, you owe it to yourself to experience it.  Pasta Moon is more than a meal – it truly is an experience.  Our waiter Pablo gave us exceptional service. Thank you Pasta Moon and thank you Pablo.

We each started with a Martini.  My son had a dry Martini with olives. His girlfriend had a Pear Martini and I had a Raspberry Lemon Drop. 

Appetizers: 

  • Fritto misto - monterey bay calamari, rock shrimp, fennel, red onion, green olive, lemon, capers, spicy marinara, lemon aioli
  • Nectarine Salad – fresh spinach, goat cheese, grilled nectarine, vinaigrette dressing
  • Fresh baked bread - olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Champagne:  Bottle of Prosecco

Entrees: 

  • Butternut squash & mascarpone ravioli  - with sage brown butter, parmesan, amaretti
  • Pappardelle - smoked prosciutto, wild mushrooms, leeks, porcini cream, white truffle oil
  • Tagliatelle Bolognese - milk braised ground pork, beef , pancetta, soffritto, tomato, rosemary, parmesan

Dessert:

  • Strawberry shortcake – fresh strawberries, whip cream, raspberry gelato
  • Chocolate molten cake – french vanilla bean ice cream

Coffee:

  • Double Cappuccinos

 A three-hour dining experience! Each dish was shared between the three of us. 

After our delightful meal we drove to my favorite beach. Great exercise for us. Not the drive - the hike down to the beach. Hopefully we worked off some of the incredible meal. 

My grand-dog Molly got some serious playtime too!

It was a beautiful day in Half Moon Bay. My stomach and heart is full.

I look forward to another glorious week ahead.

What a perfect day!  I'm so glad you were able to take some time off.  We just celebrated my son's birthday this weekend, too.  He turned 13.  Hard to believe my "baby" is a teenager now.  :(

Kathleen, if I ever make it to your neck of the woods, I know that WE'RE going to the Pasta Moon.  My tummy is growling thinking about that great food, and I just ate, LOL.

Kathleen:  Such a nice post and glad you got some time off!  I used to go to "Pelican Point", and have a couple of funny stories of my teenage days from lovely half moon bay!  Your grand dog, looks like she is giving you a tug of war exercise!!!
