About Norcino

Norcino is a buzzing Roman salumeria tucked away in Pyrmont, slicing house-cured salumi and turning out serious pasta classics. Settle into a crowded courtyard table beneath drying meats. Diners regularly single out the carbonara for its al dente bite and crispy guanciale, while plates of rich gricia deliver concentrated flavor without fuss. Up front, the deli counter cuts porchetta and bresaola to order alongside scratch-made polpette, rounding out an authentic trattoria routine that finishes with classic tiramisu.

  • Authentic Roman Pastas: House-cured guanciale anchors classic carbonara and rich gricia with traditional al dente execution.
  • In-House Cured Meats & Deli: Deli counters slice house-made polpette, porchetta, and air-dried meats prepared from scratch onsite.
  • Courtyard Trattoria Setting: Sheltered courtyard dining surrounded by drying cool rooms captures an easygoing trattoria feel.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful touches that elevate an authentic Roman dining and deli experience

  • Table visits from the chef and owner

    The owner and chef personally visits tables throughout the meal to check in and converse with guests, lending an intimate, personal presence to the dining room.

  • Custom deli slicing to order

    Diners can order custom take-home parcels of specialty cured meats and cheeses, sliced to order right at the delicatessen counter by the kitchen team.

  • Visible in-house curing cool rooms

    House-cured meats and salumi are aged onsite in dedicated drying cool rooms with visible hanging hooks, showcasing traditional Roman charcuterie craftsmanship.

  • Courtyard seating flexibility

    Staff attentively accommodate dynamic table changes, moving groups out to the covered outdoor courtyard when weather improves so diners can enjoy relaxed al fresco seating.

Before you head over

Practical tips on seating, portion pacing, and making the most of the in-house deli.

  • Order custom take-home cuts from the deli

    Norcino cures its own meats onsite and operates a deli counter; take advantage by asking the head chef to slice custom take-home packs of salumi and cheeses before you leave.

  • Opt for covered courtyard seating

    The indoor dining room has closely spaced tables that can feel tight when packed; reserve an outside table under the sheltered, heated courtyard if you prefer more room.

  • Pace your pasta orders and lunch specials

    Norcino serves specialty daytime items like pizzettes alongside rich, filling Roman pastas that are very satisfying even in seemingly modest portions, so pace your courses accordingly.
