Culinary Restaurant of the Year 2005

Santé Magazine
I was impressed by the use of local ingredients on a recent visit to Cetrella in Half Moon Bay. It's not unusual to find restaurants relying on area suppliers, but few speak of its locale better than this impressive Italian kitchen, recently taken over by Robert Holt.

Why “rush back” to San Francisco when you can get “city sophistication by the coast” at this Half Moon Bay venue; “whether you eat in the bar” or in the sprawling “rustic-chic” dining room with big central fireplace to keep you warm, a crew of “attentive” servers presents a “finger-licking good” “mix of Northern Mediterranean flavors” throughout the meal, while “some of the best live jazz” acts swing by on Thursday-Saturday evenings.
