    We love the food at Pasta Moon, always fresh, and beautifully presented. While it’s always nice to try their specials, we especially appreciate that the basic menu stays consistent, and enjoy coming again and again for the delicious lasagna, the tuna tartare, pizzas, butternut squash ravioli - and the mussels frite! The restaurant can be loud when busy, but overall, a very comfortable place to dine, and the food is very very good.

    We had such a wonderful anniversary dinner! Jonathan, our waiter, could not have been more pleasant and fun. All of the staff were attentive and professional. The food was incredible. We decided to do 4 course tasting menu and were not disappointed. We each picked something different to try and share. A few standouts were the freshness of the salads. All with vegetables grown right there. The osso bucco ravioli were fabulous. The prime rib melted in your mouth and the surprise was the chicken parm. The best we had ever tasted. But all of this including the amazing views made the evening very special. We will make The Grandview our go to restaurant for all of our families special occasions. It was that good!
