Norcina

“Fantastic spot! Amazing food: the kids pastas were superb! The pizza was killer! The arugula salad was large and delicious. Great oysters and also the broccoli!”

“Norcina is the kind of unassuming italian restaurant that reminds one of why you love SF in the first place; big enough to have a small party, but small enough to feel like a cozy nook, lively on most days, but ocassionally calm and homey. The food is anything but homey tho, deliciously consistent pizzas that balance traditional flavors with touches of creative additions, perfect sauce to cheese ratio, over roasted european style crust and tasteful drink selections. I love places like Norcina because their the kind you can keep coming back to for your favorite or mix it up with endless variations without ever overspending. It's hard to strike the balance of value, quality and mouth-watering deliciousness like this, but Norcina just does. One of my faves in SF, highly recommend.”

“Can't begin to say how great this experience was! Decor/ atmosphere was very well put together We wanted to try a number of things so we did kind of tasting menu which was truly unreal! The mixed salad was a perfect start considering how much food we ordered. All of the pastas were very good but we thought the butternut squash had an amazing flavor and balance. The rigatoni was my favorite and the cacio de pepe was my wife's favorite outside of the squash. We did the nor sting ya pizza which was also really really really good. We were pretty pasta drunk but we would love to come back and try another pizza! Wine wise we did Copa family cab which was so bold and flavorful! Everything about this meal was fantastic - our server Angelo crushed it as well as his support staff!”

“Cute little spot walking distance from our condo at the Marina. This area is super busy with diners, drinkers and just people watching. The restaurant itself is small inside, but they do have a parklet which is nice. If you need to drive, parking can be a challenge so uber if you can. This restaurant boasts a mean pasta; the food is absolutely delicious! Don’t remember if they have a full bar as we opted for wine. The ingredients are of good quality, very tasty and portions light. Forgot our server’s name but he took care of us and was very attentive. I would definitely come back again!”

“Went with my lady for a dinner, we got the Brussels sprouted, meatballs, pasta, and chicken. Brussels sprouts were incredible. Meatballs were decent. Pasta was great, especially with the added pesto! You should pass on the chicken, it was a weird mix of dairy and lemon.”
