Reviews
This restaurant will introduce you to REAL Sicilian food.
The food is prepared in the manner a Sicilian grandmother would, Norma, was such a grandmother and her recipes come alive at this restaurant.
Price point is very reasonable. Portions are ample and shareable.
Service is friendly and jovial.
The restaurant gets packed!
We ate here as it was close to a show we were seeing afterwards. So glad we did. The food was excellent. There was no problem getting a table (we went around 5pm. ) Service was prompt and no issues.
We shared a salad to start and it was amazing. Loaded with different fruits, cheese, and fresh greens. With the complimentary bread, it was really good. We also had the Frito Misto and the Pasta ala Norma. The Misto was HUGE. A plate piled high with different fried seafood and veggies. It would easily feed 4 as an appetizer. The Pasta ala Norma was delicious and a more modest sized plate that was good for one or a share if (like us) you had other share plates.
Perfect meal for us. Highly recommended.
Crowded but cool with excellent food. This eggplant thing I got was a great taste experience. Pizza was very good. Lasagna also. Desserts are fantastic. Big wine place if that’s your thing too!
Our server Stephano was great, we enjoyed talking to him a lot. The margarita pizza was the best part of the meal, really great with a semolina crust/underside. The mushroom pasta was fine, but the pork was very dry. Prices are as expected for NYC. The place is very cozy but I personally would recommend just getting some pizza and wine.
In a city with a lot of food options, Norma is great go-to Italian spot. It had a nice atmosphere and the prices were very affordable for NYC standards.
We started with the arancini and potato cake. Both were very food; the aranicini was cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce for the potatoes was excellent.
I tried two pasta dishes, and it the portion size was more than expected and the sauce complimented the pasta well. We got a pizza for the table that was loaded with fresh ingredients.
A great spot for Italian
Being a Sicilian born and raised in Palermo I love Norma and I can attest to its absolute authenticity. When I eat at Norma’s I feel at home. The food is delicious and it cures my nostalgia for my homeland. I highly recommend everything on their menu and particularly their arancine and anelletti al forno. Go to Norma and enjoy a taste of Palermo!
Amazing Italian restaurant! Excellent food (pizza, pasta, sandwiches etc), enjoyable atmosphere and great service!
We have tried a variety of plates which are all very tasty. However, I think their pizza is just irresistible!
One of the best Italian restaurants this side of the Atlantic hands down. Some really nice authentic Sicilian dishes along with classic Italian dishes. Really glad we are getting wonderful Italian restaurants in the city!
