Norcina is a safe, solid 4-star experience, and that was a welcome thing on a Monday afternoon for lunch.
My wife and I split the mozzarella sticks, which were portioned generously (6 sticks). They were made with homemade mozzarella and breaded with panko. They were fantastic. My only note is that the breading was not well seasoned and appeared to be plain panko. But I would order them again.
I had the tuna avocado salad. The servings of tuna and avocado were just right, they did not skimp. The fried wontons were great. The soy sauce sprinkled on top was enough. The creamy wasabi dressing was drizzled on just right. I had hoped for more lettuce. But I would order this again, too.
My wife had the personal (10") vodka sauce pizza, and I had a bite. The flavor was good, it had a little bite to it, which was nice as some vodka sauces can be a bit bland. The crust came off as a bit underdone, and I thought the center of the pie approached soggy, but it was not the end of the world.
The service was pleasant and attentive without being obtrusive. The "hon" type comments from the server came off as genuine and in no way condescending, which can be hard to pull off. There was no pretense, snobbery, or chip-on-the-shoulder from the server, which is rare.
We will be back!
