Think has been amazing and she took care of me and my friend the whole evening. Friendly, attentive and welcoming! Food was delicious considering that I'm Sicilian, I can recommend 100% the Parmigiana ;) I'll recommend 100%.
Norma LondonResponded on June 2, 2025
Hey Graziana, Thank you for the awesome review! So glad you and your friend had a great time. Awesome to hear that our staff looked after you so well! And we're chuffed you loved the food, especially the Parmigiana – high praise coming from a Sicilian! 😉 Thank you for the 100% recommendation on one of our signature dishes! Hope to see you again soon.

Have chosen to eat here several times now. Service and food were all amazing. I had enjoyed the ambience too on the ground floor but the 1st floor felt outdated and a complete different. Best to be able to know which floor you'll be seated before as it does give you a different experience.
Norma LondonResponded on June 5, 2025
Dear Satoshi, Thank you for your continued visits and the wonderful feedback! We're so glad you've consistently enjoyed our food, service, and the ground floor ambiance. We're sorry the first floor felt dated and didn't match your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve and rest assured this is something that is an on-going project for us to transform the restaurant to its best version across all floors. We hope to see you again soon!

Great ambience and good Sicilian food. We had the pre theatre dinner menu/TimeOut voucher (2 courses for 20£) and it was the perfect portions, quite good (non mainstream) Italian food, and added the glass of house red which was surprisingly good. The house wine glass is 5£ with that menu, but the only thing is that we were not told when we ordered another one that it would be 10£ for any additional glass. It’d have been nice to have nice to have that written on the menu, even in fine print, or told, for a more transparent dinner experience. Overall good food and, knowing this now, I’d go again for the set menu.
Norma LondonResponded on June 2, 2025
Dear Lucia, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is always important to know where we can improve ourselves as an independent restaurant. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed our food and are planning to come back. We have noted your feedback and we have gone ahead and re-designed our menus slightly, to make sure this won't be confusion moving forward. Hoping to see you soon again! Norma Team

Amazing food! Some of the best in central. Service was a bit rubbish but could tell the staff were trying, but had to get up to ask to be served twice and we had no pepper in our pepper shaker. Table next to us were also so drunk and so loud, luckily they left after 20 mins. Maybe the bottomless brunch should be sat in a separate area to the normal tables? Loved the food though and would come here again
