Mozzarella Sticks
Kevin S.

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!

This was our first time visiting Norcina and I am So disappointed it took us this long to visit this establishment. The ambiance from the moment you first enter is welcoming, making it easy to make yourself comfortable to enjoy your experience. Staff was attentive from the moment we entered until we left. As someone who is gluten free, gluten free pizza is always a hit or miss. This was definitely a hit! I ordered the Neopolitan pizza which was delicious and I had to stop myself from finishing the whole pie in one sitting. Perfect amount of cheese with a delicious and slightly sweet marinara sauce. My fiancé ordered the pepperoni pizza with an extra topping of meatballs. He enjoyed his pizza and well. We are very excited to add Norcina into our rotation of spots to explore in Rockland county.

Wonderful drinks, awesome food, superb service, and awesome ambience! I love the bar and menu. This place is casual yet classy with plenty of parking too. See you there soon!

Alla vodka pie

A guaranteed stop when visiting family in NY! The all vodka pie is one of the best around! Great food, great service and nice ambiance.

I am so disappointed. My husband and I rarely order pizza and we were both really craving it. We ordered the CBR and the vodka/ prosciutto pie for pickup. The CBR was very dry and, quite honestly, hard to get down. The vodka pie had 10 tiny crumbles of prosciutto on it. Most of what you see in the photo is darker cheese, NOT prosciutto. I'm very upset because we normally love Norcina pizza. This is the first time we've gotten these particular pies and will definitely be the last. We will be sticking to pepperoni and the semolina white from now on.

Super cool place located at the end of a strip mall. It's like an upscale pizza place with a bar, great indoor space and delicious food. This is such a great place! If you are in the area this is a Must try! Great staff, very cool vibe with a somewhat Tuscan style mixed with contemporary fixtures and a nice modern feel. We had the chopped salad that was super filling and just delicious!! Two of us shared it along with a 6 slice pizza called Norcina. We opted for 1/2 meatball and 1/2 sausage. The sausage was hands down delicious!! The crust was absolutely perfect!! Not too thin nor too thick - yet crisped to perfection. Drinks weren't bad either. Can't wait to try this place again!

Situation: I don't live in town and needed Used Norcina's catering menu for a lunch party; ordered about two weeks in advance and I picked it up at 12pm on a Saturday. The food was nice and hot when I picked it up and everything was a hit. All of it came to about $360. There were 7 adults, 4kids. Definitely had way too much food haha but everyone got to take a lot home. Food: literally everything was excellent. In the pictures you will find what was ordered. The pastas all were homemade; each tray was rich in flavor. The pickiest kids had two to three helpings of the rigatoni. And that's saying a lot! Service: when I was reviewing options, Norcina has someone monitoring their email and that alone helped me narrow in on the place. When I was ready to order, the person I worked with on the phone was really pleasant and sweet. The person that handed me the food was super nice.

Yep.... They still got it!!! Covid precautions are in place. And their food is still awesome!

We'll, I can add Norcina into the rotation for sure! Worth the trip from Nyack. Genuine, flavorful food! Pizza was amazing ! (Sorry for slices missing in the picture! Smelled so good we had to try it before leaving the lot!) Hidden in the back corner of the shopping center, but worth the effort!

Penne vodka
Shawna M.

A friend of a friend recommended Norcina to me so I decided to go for lunch. What a awesome modern place! My friend said their menu is like what you would find if you went to Italy. I ordered the penne vodka and it was pretty good! I didn't like the pancetta on it which made it really salty so next time I'll get it without. The waitress we had was amazing too!! We also met the owner when we went and he let us sample a new dessert he had, mini donuts which were SO good, super fresh and hot!!!

Chicken thigh pappardelle

Homemade pasta -- need I say more? I will say more because Norcina is at the top of my list when I'm in Rockland County! I love this place because you can come for dinner or on a Saturday night at the bar and have two completely different but enjoyable experiences. Most importantly, the food is OUTSTANDING. I have too many favorite dishes to list. The menu is really spectacular! I'm pretty much always going for a pasta dish for dinner because I'm pretty sure the Norcina kitchen is where pasta was perfected, but the apps are also good and I love the charred Brussels sprout Caesar salad. Splitting some pizzas is a great idea for lunch (especially when outdoor seating is open!) but I think the pies are even better as a bite to share when you're hanging out at the bar. The staff, bartenders and owners have always been very friendly. I've noticed some private events being held in the back room - I've sat there a couple times for dinner and it's a nice space!

$48.00 pie where are the slices??? Norcina didn't care

The well-curated and balanced menu is focused on Spanish/Mediterranean dishes and tapas, all expertly prepared with quality ingredients. I genuinely loved everything. We ordered fried calamari misto (fantastic!), bacalao croquettes, polenta crostini, and Olar salad (simple but delicious) to start. For our mains, the paella Valenciana and mariscada salsa verde were profuse with fresh seafood - and the mussels and clams were delightfully fat and plump. The grilled skirt steak, which we requested medium rare, was perfectly cooked. Complimentary garlic herb crostini is brought to the table, and we were given fresh crusty-chewy rosemary focaccia bread brushed with olive oil as well. We were too stuffed to go for dessert but I think the offerings were a molten lava cake, vanilla panacotta, a cheesecake of some sort, and caramel flan. The owner was there and came around to greet everyone. They are currently doing a soft opening so there's no liquor license yet, and it's cash only right now, but everything seems so well run already. This is a true foodie destination, especially for Rockland. Highly recommended and a hearty 5 stars!

The atmosphere gives off a trendy vibe, with a chef from Chopped behind the concept. It was pretty busy on a Saturday evening but tables were available indoor and outdoor. Reservations are probably a good idea if you come at a busy time. Similar to a tapas or dim sum place, you check off your order on a slip of paper. Really enjoyed the complex yet simple flavors of the shrimp dumplings (3) though they were very small bites, the fish taco (1), and the pork belly lettuce wrap plate. Each dish is paced out to you as they see you finish. The lobster taco was good but at $17, pricey, for its small size. Savor each dish because they will be gone before you know it. They charge a mandatory 4% kitchen fee, which I understand in theory but not in practicality for customers in these times. This evening there were a few Lantern flies spotted, one of which landed in my glass of water. Parking is easy and shared with a few other nearby businesses. They also have Taco Tuesdays to get discounted tacos. This is enticing because each taco is small and not filling in its own.

The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.

It's one of those places where you can immediately tell the owners care about both the food and the overall experience. The atmosphere is beautiful. The restaurant has a classy, Great Gatsby-inspired feel with elegant décor, plenty of space, and a spotless dining area. I loved the attention to detail, and the bar area is especially charming--it's the kind of place where you could easily stop in just for a glass of wine. We started with the hummus served with warm pita bread, and it was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The chicken empanadas were another favorite--crispy, flavorful, and served with fresh pico de gallo that complemented them perfectly. I also enjoyed a glass of wine, and it paired beautifully with the meal. What impressed me the most was the hospitality. My daughter wanted fries, even though they weren't on the menu, and the chef was kind enough to prepare a fresh order just for her. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and really showed how much they care about their guests. The service was exceptional. The chef came out to greet us, and our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Before we left, they mentioned they have live music on certain nights, which gave us yet another reason to come back. This is truly one of Beacon's hidden gems. Between the delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality, it's a place I'll happily recommend. We already know we'll be back!
