Winner! VIA UNO Half Moon Bay's Favorite New Restaurant

Better book a table at VIA UNO Cucina Italiana & Bar now while you still can. This undiscovered gem on the coast is about to be discovered in a big way. A classy little niche of authentic Calabrian fare, VIA UNO was just voted Half Moon Bay’s favorite new restaurant by the locals and got a favorable nod from Sunset Magazine.

​​ ​A ​quick scenic drive down Highway 1 in less time than it takes to park in North Beach and with ​a superb ​​meal​ awaiting, San Franciscans won’t be far behind once word gets out.

VIA UNO is all about the food - locally sourced authentically prepared regional dishes – and the irrepressible charm of the two energetic Calabrian owners Massimo and Francesco. Every culinary detail has been well thought out to heighten your dining pleasure. A few points of interest:

• An authentic 6,000 pound wood-fired pizza oven specially hand-made in Naples for VIA UNO creates light-as-air pizza crusts and is the only wood-fired pizza on the California coast between Santa Cruz and Mendocino. And it burns only olive wood, just like in Calabria.

• Along with the pizza oven, the owners imported their talented young chef Giuseppe from their home town in Calabria. A recent culinary school grad, he interprets authentic regional dishes with a dash of fresh creativity.

• Calabrese specialties you’re unlikely to sample anywhere else unless you take a trip to Italy. Vrasciola di maiale is a tender pork loin, a savory parmigiano replaces eggplant with ​fresh ​zucchini. ​​ Fresh seasonal vegetables such as Italian beans and Brussels sprouts are hand-selected at Half Moon Bay’s local farms. The wine list features varietals imported from Calabria including a special dry rose.

Please call or and stop by...great bar, fabulous food, and a dog-friendly patio!

Mangia bene!
