La Norma Ristorante& Pizzeria

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS Chicken Picatta. Best I've ever had!!! Highly recommend!!!

Even here4 times. Great the first time and 3 of 5 stars the other times.

Excellent food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious. We had the antipasto, cheese pizza, volcano pizza and lobster ravioli. Our waitress was very personable and took the time to explain the items on our antipasto tray.

Fantastic find. Everything was delicious. Salads big enough to share. Appetizers also good size. Pasta portions not as big as many Italian places but the quality, flavor, all homemade still left us perfectly satisfied. Can’t wait to go back. Highlights were the eggplant appetizer and pesto gnocchi for me. Lovely atmosphere with live music that wasn’t too loud. We sat outside.

Amazing - this place is here to stay. Southern Italian Perfection!!

Four of us were there and not one of us had a good meal. We all had something different and it was universally mediocre too, but in my case, it was terrible since I ended up being sick during the night and the following morning.. The waitress had an edge. A $25 corkage fee seems exorbitant especially when you compare it to the mediocre wine they had on their menu also with exorbitant prices. Very very disappointing. We wish we had a better experience. The last time we were there we had a lovely waitress named Kennedy who more than made up for average food. This time the average and significantly less than average food dominated. I would suggest getting fresh, good quality salmon, and also fresh ravioli. I hope things get better.

Incredible as usual. Their pasta cannot be beat! As far as I know, all of their ingredients are as fresh as can be.

I’ll certainly be going back! Both meals I’ve had were truly authentic and delicious! Lots more on the menu I want to experience!

Lasagna was fantastic our server Kennedy was great great place to eat

Good meals and very friendly, competent service.

Waitress was outstanding, hostess not so much! Food mediocre
Checked in and I selected outside on open table but she had us inside- patio was empty and she was going to turn us away. Last minute she realized how dumb that would have been

Fabulous pasta. We will be back.

Great food & service. Very lively location. Would highly recommend. Cheers!!

We had a great time!
Loved the ambiance, the food and the staff!

As usual, La Norma never disappoints. Party of three this night with wide selection of dishes and wines ordered. Best Italian food on LBK. Best service too! La Norma has become our perennial favorite!

Local, friendly small restaurant serving delicious food with great service!

We were really hopeful coming here. Because we used to go to Ciaos which was located in the same spot, and because we can walk to La Norma. Sadly the pasta while tasty and authentic was such a small portion that it was laughable! Three bites and you’re done. I have never seen an Italian place serve such small portions! The waitress, who was very good, said that people often order double pasta. Why should they need to???? More $$ to get a normal portion. If this improves we will go back but not if they continue to serve portions like this

This restaurant was recommended and I will certainly “rubber stamp” and endorse suggesting to friends and to family- the food was delicious- my favourite wasn’t on the menu but my choice was fabulous- my choice would have been Carbonara!

Wonderful jazz singer and guitarist accompanied our delicious meal. What a treat! Delicious Italian food and fabulous music on a sunny, Monday night.

Always a favorite, open table canceled our reservation without our permission so obviously we were very upset. I called LaNorma who gave me our original time slot, they are so accommodating, a wonderful place!

Sat outside. Quaint outside dining area. Reminds me of small cafes in Italy. Food was very good. Service was excellent. Will come back.

Lovely evening and dinner. Outdoor patio is beautiful with nicely spaced tables. Chicken dishes are creative and deliscious!

La Norma was great. Beautiful, romantic outdoor setting. Both had veal parmesan and it was delicious. Had an expensive bottle of Italian wine that was exquisive. Definitely going back.

First timers at la Norma and we were rather impressed by the staff and the food. I would definitely recommend and we most certainly will go back!!

Mediocre food. My salmon was over cooked and chewy as was my guests Chicken Parmesan. Flavor was good though. Not a good wine selection. No wonder you can always get a reservation during high season on LBK.

Lovely Out door dining!
Tried the Lasagna, it was delicious!!
Another wonderful dining experience!
Thank you!

Wonderful dinner in a charming courtyard. Definitely get the meatballs

Phenomenal pizza (from a Chicagoan who loves her ‘za), delicious shrimp scampi, lasagna, ragu and pasta a la Norma. Will be going back-best Italian food around!

We love La Norma! Excellent food, great service--highly recommend this tucked away jewel!

Another lovely dinner! Tried the chicken Marsala...Delicious! They add a touch of cream and the homemade pasta is wonderful!

Lovely wonderful atmosphere and safe during covid.

We had the lasagna and pasta alla Norma. Both were delicious. Can not wait to go back and try more dishes! Service was excellent (Katie was very helpful is describing all the menu items). Quaint indoor seating and beautiful outside dining. Will definitely go back

Everything was delicious. Food was very authentic. The waitress was friendly and attentive.

Great Tasting & crispy pizza!! Fantastic! Meatballs were also delicious as were the salads!

This has quickly become a family favorite. Authentic freshly made dishes, pizza and breads. Wonderful service from beautiful servers who went over and above to make comfortable seating arrangements due to the size change in our dinner party.

We made a last minute reservation for four on New Years Eve, We chose LA Norma because it's the sister restaurant to highly regarded Isola Bella Restaurant on Anna Maria Island. Frankly, it was far down on our list , but we had few other choices available. It was great! Our server was quick, knowledgeable and friendly. Our meals were all different and were liked by all. In short, the whole experience was above expectations!!

Nice outside seating and good service. However, the food was just ok, both the two pasta dishes we ordered and the appetizer ( the mozzarella on the caprese was tasteless and chewy) were not as expected. Not a place that I'd return.

Pleasant setting and staff, with a family run atmosphere. Food was very good and authentic. The balsamic dressing on the Mediterranean salad was fantastic.

Delicious homemade pasta that was fresh and very tasty! We enjoyed every aspect of our meal from appetizer to homemade tiramisu dessert. We’ll be back!
