WINE ... Cetrella ... Half Moon Bay

The Wine Collection
Cetrella's award-winning collection, a list of over 400 wines from around the world, was chosen to accent Chef Robert Holt's exquisite Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The collection includes wines representing ten countries and over a dozen varietals. Alongside old favorites like California Chardonnay and French Bordeaux, are more esoteric offerings such as Grüner Veltliner from Austria, Melon de Bourgogne from the Loire Valley, and Dolcetto from Piedmont - plus everything in between!

Half Moon Bay Review

The wines are visible from the private Wine Cellar Dining Room, with its dramatic 20-seat wood table from Italy. The wine is stored on custom-designed racks in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room with insulated antique wire glass windows. If you'd like to sample a variety of tastes, we offer an extensive selection of wines-by-the-glass and half bottles. We also have a special offering of large format bottles to make your evening more festive.

Wine Programs

Our Wine Lover's Dinners highlight wines from a particular region or winery, paired perfectly with 3 to 5 courses prepared by Executive Chef Robert Holt.
Wine Lover’s Dinners are held bi-monthly and space is limited.

The Bar
The bar, featuring live jazz, was voted the coastside's "Best Bar or Club" in the 2003 Half Moon Bay Review Annual Readers Choice Survey. The restaurant also won "Best Cocktails" and "Best Wine Selection."

Wines by the glass, a premium well, and fun specialty cocktails are served. Drinks are made to order with the freshest ingredients, such as the fresh squeezed fruit juice in our house specialty Margaritas. The small plates served in the bar are often paired with house-made Sangria, or one of our seven different brands of Sherry wines, or Cava. We feature after dinner drinks from around the world, single malt Scotch, aged Cognac, high quality affordable Grappas, and up to 10 different style Port wines.

Corkage Fee
If you prefer to bring in your own bottle, we would be honored to open and serve it for you. Our corkage fee is $20. per 750ml (limit two bottles), provided the wine is not represented on our list. For each bottle purchased from our wine list, we will waive one corkage fee.
