Norcina

Italian restaurant · Marina District

@infatuation

"There’s an abundance of Cal-Ital in the Marina, on Chestnut Street alone. But Norcina stands out. The restaurant turns out handmade pastas and pillowy Neapolitan pies that are perfectly charred. And the seasonally changing salads, snacks, and large plates aren’t afterthoughts, which is why this spot rises to another level. Impressive-looking pork shanks, chicken milanese, and sausage-stuffed pork snouts come over well-seasoned grains. For dessert, roast your own marshmallows at the table for s’mores. The experience might seem hokey, but it perfectly matches Norcina’s "just hanging out on the beach" aesthetic we’ve fallen for." - julia chen 1, lani conway
