About this business
2011 MICHELIN GUIDE RECOMMENDED "If not for the striped banquettes and contemporary accents, Cetrella could be of another place and time--encapsulated in a gold-flecked Mediterranean villa with exposed beams peering down on private dining rooms, a glass-encased cheese pantry, wood-burning fireplace, and wine cellar with more than 400 international vintages. Possibly the most stylist restaurant in Half Moon Bay, Cetrella serves some of the town's most sophisticated fare. OPENTABLE 2010 DINERS' CHOICE AWARD WINE SPECTATOR AWAR... read more

Consistently Excellent! – We have been to Cetrella several times and I am amazed at the consistently wonderful service and excellent fare. Try their seafood dishes. I am a huge fan of the Cioppino style stew. Actually, all the entrees I've tried were tasty with an authentic Mediterranean flair. I also recommend the lamb sausage as an appetizer. If you find yourself in Half Moon Bay, this is a reason to stay for dinner. In fact, it's a good reason to visit Half Moon Bay!
comfortable, airy place – I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Cetrella. I was a lone diner and the waiter did everything to make me feel at home. However, the food was not as good as I expected. Maybe it's just what I ordered. I ordered the zarzuela (Spanish style seafood stew), which was just OK. Could have been tastier and it's truly a messy dish (crab and shrimp in their shells are in the stew). So, don't get it on a date. I got the creme brulee for dessert and it was way too sweet.

Paul, your the best! – Have been to Cetrella many times and love it! Love the food, people and Mojitos!
SF mag is right! – Read about this place in San Francisco Magazine which gave it 3 stars. It didn't disappoint. Try the Mojitos in the bar! Had to wait, but got a seat next to the fireplace. I had basil pesto for an appetizer and short ribs, and my wife had an eggplant vegetarian dish. Food was outstanding. The waiter gave us some recommendations and good service. Good to see this here. Go Half Moon Bay!
They called this cioppino? – What a lousy restaurant experience! There was nothing cozy about the cavernous space with a cold draft blowing through the restaurant.... and the cioppino - tasteless broth is more like it. And the wait staff seem to think their customers are a joke! Our questions were laughed at and went unanswered - we almost made a run for the door, but decided to give it a chance. A pure waste of money and time when there are many other great places to go...
