Hidden and not so hidden local gems of half moon bay

Disclaimer. I am not paid by any of the businesses mentioned in this post. All experiences are personal, and I'm a real paying customer. I do not see myself as a critic.

Now that the devils' slide tunnel is opened, there are lots and lots of weekend traffic coming from the north. The coast is now unstoppably crowded on weekends and holidays. Here are some places you can visit while you are here.

Via Uno
A relatively new Southern Italian restaurant off of Highway 1 in Half Moon Bay. It is next to Cowboy surf shop, where Gin Wan was used to be. They have authentic Italian food, good pizza and home-made pastas. I love their local Tuesday special, which was a four course meal with soup or salad, a pasta dish, a meat, chicken or fish dish, and dessert. We went last Tuesday, and we love everything!

Flavor
Healthy comfort food with organic and natural ingredients. They have a lot of vegetarian choices and lots of delicious side dishes. We love the all-seafood chowder, and seafood pot pie.

Mezza Luna and it's caffee
Good Italian food. The caffee has very good dessert, tho a little too sweet. I liked the quiche and the coffee.

3zero
Traditional American style breakfast and good selection of lunch choices.

Sandra's massage and Shana's facial at Ujuva

Posh moon
Half moon bay downtown. They have a great selection of cloths and gifts. Carol is super nice.

Rouge
My other favorite boutique. Good selection and good price.

Half moon bay Hallmark store, and Bookstore
Both of them are in the Strawflower shopping center. They have good coastal selections.

New leaf Community Market
Great bakery/deli. Lots of nice products and organic/natural selection.
