Kait and Angelo bring the heat. Frankie brings the vibes. Best neopolitan za in town, whole set up is unbeatable. Check out Frankie’s namesake bar down next door for a great cocktail too!

10/10 recommend! Everything about this place hit the five star marks - the intimate ambience, the stellar service (snaps to Emma!), and most importantly the amazing, homemade food. We would definitely go back!

Fantastic food. I mean, like really great food- cacio e pepe, the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash candies dish (omg) - all delicious. Small venue with great execution.

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.

Terrible portions. Food was decent but was not sustainable for an adult human being

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.
