Came here on a whim with a friend and sat at the bar. Best pizza ever! Interesting pizza options. Love the spritz flight. The only negative is the brussel sprouts app. Excellent, but there were maybe five whole pieces and the rest were the leaves, which we love, but for the price, there could have been more sprouts.

Loved the ambience, music and the food was excellent! The mushroom pizza, the chop salad, the warm olives. The tiramisu and the salted caramel gelato all fabulous.!

Wow! So glad I got turned onto this gem ! The flavors of the Nor-stingya were amazing coupled with the chewy but crispy crust. Heaven. The owner kait and Angelo are dynamite with a can-do welcoming attitude. Can’t wait to go back ! Oh. And the rigatoni will be eaten in seconds. So good !

Rushed service, dishes are hit or miss. Lamb pasta was delicious- rich and flavorful. The pizza was good but slightly under-risen. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. When we sat down, the waiter was rushing to take our drink order. We didn’t quite understand why, and after a few minutes, he told us our reservation was 1.5 hours and we’d need to be out by then. It set a very rushed tone for the meal. Dishes arrived well before we had finished the previous ones, making it feel like we were being pushed out rather than able to enjoy a proper dining experience. While we understand restaurants get busy, this kind of pacing is unacceptable. Good food deserves to be enjoyed at a comfortable pace.

I stopped at Norcina to try the Funky Funghi and Margherita Pizzas. The crust was delicious, a little on the thinner side of things like a neopolitan pizza. I like their sauces, and enjoy how far it goes into the crust. If you like to eat crusts then you'll like Norcina.
The Margherita was great. It had fresh basil, and a nice ratio of sauce to cheese.
The Funky Funghi was my favorite of the two. The flavors were robust, and the porcini mushrooms really give earthy tones to balance the creaminess of the mozzarella.
I enjoyed my pizzas at the outdoor seating of the bar next door - very nice atmosphere when it's not busy.
Dangerously luke-warm meatballs. No matter what the owner says here are the facts: we were seated at a table when the restaurant was not busy with many empty tables, served food that included a delicious salad, crispy hot chicken, and luke warm meatballs. We didn't see the server for over 30 minutes after the food was delivered. The waiter made some excuses for the dangerously low temp meatballs. We were about to order coffee, wine, and dessert when the waiter showed up with the tallied bill and apologized and said the manager had reserved our table for someone else. In other words we had to go. Poor form for the manager to put the waiter in that position. The manager could have asked if we would share the table and we would. Seemed clear that the manager wanted to churn our table which should not be made to be our problem but that's what they did. Found a better place nearby. Never going back.

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.

This place is so amazing! I came here for my boyfriend’s birthday and it’s one of the best italian meals we’ve had in sf. We ordered the broccolini pizza and lamb pasta and both were delicious. They also gave us a tiramisu for his birthday which was incredible as well.

I'm at Norcina probably a little too often. Their Rigatoni alla Norcina is my go-to, but the hot honey pizza is also fantastic. The spritz drinks are unique and fun, too. Great service, and the parklet is cozy, clean, and out of the sidewalk enough to feel private. Love this place
