Fattoria e Mare

This restaurant is a great find. We have been to many Italian restaurants in the peninsula but they are all mediocre. We had no expectations, so when the starter came, we were surprised to see a beautiful dish of half baby beets and large strawberries in a good sauce. The focacia was very good too. My main of seared salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful, unlike most other restaurants which tend to overcook salmon. Our other main was steak sandwich, which was excellent too. The pleasant staff automatically refilled our ice teas several times. We will make this our regular place for Italian. On our second visit a couple of weeks later, my son said it was "the best meal we've had since the last time we came here. "

The food is great. We ordered catch of the day and crab omelette. The ingredients are fresh and great quality. The taste is light and healthy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is great. Price is high though.

Amazing experience here at Fattoria E Mare. We were welcomed by the host & were sat quickly. Our server was super friendly & helpful when it came to explaining the different dishes & drinks on the menu. Drinks were phenomenal. The food presentation & palate were amazing. 100% would be back. Ps. Don't forget to order the Focaccia.

This was our first time at this restaurant, and my wife and I were very impressed. The food was delicious, the ambiance was wonderful, and Luis, our waiter, provided excellent service. We enjoyed a salad and a pizza, and both were delightful. This is definitely a place we’ll be coming back to—next time on a Saturday to enjoy the live music. Highly recommended!

This is a very nice restaurant for date night or special occasion. It has an upscale feeling but still feels cozy and charming. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is also very nice. We got the half chicken which was very good. The beet salad is also very good. I got the clam chowder which was not very good. I would come back to try other things here

Great atmosphere, attentive and knowledgeable staff, incredible food!!! (And suprisingly reasonable price). Visiting from New York, so we eat a lot of nice Italian - but this place really stands out! The food quality was truly next level. We had the artichoke, smoked burrata and favs beans salad, and a butter lettuce and peach salad for starters and they were all incredible! Some of the best artichokes I've ever had. Our waitress Samira recommended the branzino for entree, and she was not wrong! Cooked to perfection. We also had a delicious whiskey cheese pasta, and a strawberry pie-type pastry for desert. Highly recommend everything. The sommelier Pablo was very knowledgeable and gave a great recommendation - the perfect Sancerre off menu. We will have to come back while we're in town because there were so many other dishes we didn't get to try!

A Must-Visit Family Spot with Service That Shines! We absolutely love this restaurant and bar—it's the perfect spot for families! Finding a place that genuinely caters to adults and kids is tough, but they nail it. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the fact that they offer a dedicated kids menu made our evening so much easier. Beyond the great food and family accommodations, the service was truly 10/10. The entire team was super friendly, but we have to give a massive shoutout to Sebastian. He was just amazing—incredibly attentive, genuinely friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our whole table (including the little ones) had a wonderful experience. Because of the fantastic service and the truly family-friendly environment, we will definitely go back again with our family. Highly, highly recommend!

The food was AMAZING! The waiter Michael was so kind and handsome!! Caesar is the best chef in the world. Justin is friendly and Sebastian “Sea Bass” makes mean Bloody Mary! The restaurant has beautiful ambience and the bathrooms so sparkly clean 🤩 Half Moon Bay is a gorgeous town

We came here for dinner, and I think this is a great spot to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant is spacious and clean, and I liked the dim lighting. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food was good, though not particularly impressive. We ordered the Margherita pizza, seafood spaghetti (I forgot the exact name), Brussels sprouts, and clam chowder. I really liked their clam chowder.

A Green Oasis with Delicious Italian! This Italian restaurant is incredibly welcoming, truly a green oasis filled with beautiful houseplants of all sizes. The menu is nicely crafted, and while vegetarian options aren't abundant, there's definitely enough to choose from. We absolutely loved the ravioli and the pizza we ordered. But the real standout? The focaccia bread! It was hands down the best we've ever had, amazing with the oil and vinegar. This is a must-try place for anyone looking for a delightful Italian meal in a charming setting!

Great food! (amazing cheesy garlic bread) I was there with a group of six on a Saturday night around 6:30, the music/ band was so loud and we literally couldn't maintain a conversation across the table. the night improved when the band stopped and the server can hear our order.

Went here for V-Day and had the prefix menu. Several courses were good like the ravioli and Osso Buco, and the scallop course was excellent. However the crab cake was mostly filler and could barely taste the crab. The dessert you can see from the menu was "chocolate" pudding with butterscotch but actually it was ALL butterscotch. A bit misleading and disappointing. The service was below average for a restaurant like this. I feel like maybe they had some extra help for the busy Valentine's dinner crowd and the extras were not well trained or experienced as maybe some of the regular staff, although they were very polite, they just seemed more like what you would expect at an Applebee's or Olive Garden. As for atmosphere, the inside is nicely styled but I didn't like being able to hear the restaurant phone ring in the dinning area or seeing sports playing on the flatscreen at the bar - kind of kills the couples-night-out mood. Maybe they could have played Casablanca or something like the for the special night instead of sports. Overall for what this restaurant is trying to be, I think it falls short of expectations, at least for a special couple's night out.

We visited on a long weekend and, while we expected it to be busy, the service was exceptionally slow. It took a full hour for our food to arrive after we ordered. Strangely, our appetizer didn't come out beforehand but was served at the same time as our main courses. ​The ambiance was decent, with nice decor and live music. However, the music was so loud that it made it very difficult to hold a conversation. ​Unfortunately, the food was the biggest letdown. The flavors were one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The lobster was extremely salty and overcooked, and the risotto was quite bland. The only enjoyable part of the meal was the shrimp. ​Given the high price point, the experience was definitely not worth it. We will not be returning.

First time at this place. They need to clean not only the table but the chairs and floor after each service. Food was good.

I made a reservation for Brunch for my 48th Anniversary. We were seated at the booth seats near the open kitchen. Honestly we should have opted to sit outside since it's a beautiful sunny Sunday but my husband has a back problem and we choose the comfortable seat. But the air was quite smokey from the kitchen that I have to open the front door. The waitress came to take our order about 5 minutes after we were seated at 12:40 pm. We ordered everything together including the desert and tell her to bring it as they are ready. About 10 minutes later she came with the foccacia and oil/ vinegar dip. At this time my husband ordered a glass of orange juice. She never came back with the orange juice so I have to ask another waiter and he bring it right away. The appetizers came half hour later and the main dishes almost an hour later. Thing is it's not even crowded. So I decided to look at the review. The main complain is that they are exceptionally slow. After waiting for another 15 minutes for dessert we decided to cancel it. Its only a toasted bread pudding with ice cream after all. Then they brought it right away and did not charge for it. How is that? Any way all the food we ordered were great except for the corn beef hash. Its soupy. The best was the waffle. Nice and crunchy outside and soft inside. Overall its ok. They just need to speed up the service.

I was very disappointed with this restaurant from start to finish. The first red flag was the silverware being placed directly on the table with no napkin or barrier underneath—completely unappetizing and unsanitary. The food itself was extremely bland. We had to add salt and pepper just to make it tolerable. The minestrone soup had absolutely no flavor, tasting more like warm water with vegetables. My steak was equally disappointing—no seasoning, no flavor, just plain and forgettable. My wife’s shrimp dish was the worst part of the meal. The shrimp were not cleaned or properly prepared; she had to personally clean and de-shell them herself at the table. It was gross, unappealing to look at, and honestly made us lose our appetite. To make matters worse, the waiter was very inattentive. We were checked on rarely, and basic needs went unnoticed. Overall, poor hygiene practices, bland food, careless preparation, and lackluster service made this a meal we regret. We won’t be returning.

Read up a lot on this place + all the advertisements for this place, I had high hopes and expectations but I came in Monday with a reservation at 12pm, it seems they were quite unprepared, the inside smelled like the bathrooms which no surprise, no wonder no one wanted to sit inside. Our server was extremely unattentive, I don't remember her name but she had brown hair and short, rather youngish. She only checked on us a few times, would hardly come to us despite us being right in front of the entrance. It took a min of 10mins to get a hold of our server by which, I didn't even want to order anything else anymore other than wait nearly 20mins for our bill. I came here for the pasta cooked in the cheese wheel, couldn't find it on the menu so I settled for the 3 course course lunch special, only to find out that the cheese wheel pasta was indeed available but by request only. I may come again but it certainly won't be with reservations anymore since it didn't seem to matter as the staff seemed unprepared anyways. The food we ordered were pretty decent, I would entertain a 2nd visit only because I want to try the cheese wheel pasta but other than that, I'd look at other restaurants around the area. Was a big disappointment after waiting a month just to dine here.
