    We ordered 4 different entrees. Chicken piccata was good; Stromboli was average , not enough meats. Mostly bread. Lasagna was below avg in taste. And Rigatoni with meatballs was lousy. Meatballs were the worst with too much breading and cheese in them. Service was great since we were the only people there. Won’t be going back except maybe to try a pizza to go.

    Awesome experience. We had a late night reservation at 9pm. Waiter was amazing. Very accommodating. Food was incredible. Definitely recommend coming here. Get the veal ravioli! I don’t typically eat veal and this dish was incredible.

    My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at La Norma. The wine and beer were both good. We split a salad that was excellent. The bread that came with the meal was delicious. I ordered the veal ravioli and my wife ordered the chicken Marsala with pasta. The portions were plenty and the dishes were great. The service was excellent. We would definitely recommend the restaurant.

    Nice dinner, but “meatballs” on the menu are not all meat. Perhaps a mixture of meat and other things, but not what one would expect if ordering meatballs with any dish.
    La Norma Ristorante & PizzeriaResponded on July 15, 2024
    Dear George, thanks very much for dining with us and for providing your feedback: we are happy to read you enjoyed your experience. As for the meatballs, you are right: the traditional recipe that we use includes - as indicated in our menu - other ingredients, added for flavor and consistency of the mix. We hope to see you again soon. Regards, Daniela

    Food is AMAZING! Love the pork meatballs (exceptionally tender) and the chicken parm (perfection). Bread is great! Thoughtful preparation! Excellent spot for date night! We will definitely be back year after year when visiting LBK!
