Norcina

A16 now has some competition just down the street thanks to the arrival of Norcina, an Italian restaurant from chef-owner Kaitlynn Bauman (Cotogna, Presidio Social Club) serving Neapolitan-style pizzas, fresh pasta, and flights of spritzes. Norcino means “pig butcher,” but don’t take the name too literally as while there are a few excellent pork-centric dishes on the menu, there are also plenty of vegetarian options. Norcina’s interior is small (26 seats total) and welcoming, with lots of blonde wood, woven seating, and green tiles for a touch of color, but there’s also a parklet and some sidewalk seating, so your odds of snagging a spot, including one where you feel comfortable dining, are increased.
