Italian Restaurant

Welcome to
Mezza luna

Over 25 years ago, Mezza Luna Italian Restaurant was the vision of Roberto Pugliese, Giovanni Marzocca, and José Marquez, whose culinary work had taken them around the world. Because of the local farmland and fishing boats docked at the nearby harbor, they felt an instant connection to the Half Moon Bay coastside.

Mezza Luna offers southern Italian dishes with a California flair, serving only the highest quality meats, fish, and produce, much of it locally sourced. The restaurant, located in Princeton by the Sea, is just 20 miles south of San Francisco, near the heart of Silicon Valley.
