The friend who organized the small gathering filled in the online reservation form a night before we went, but for some reason it didn't show up in their system. So if one wants to make a group reservation I'd recommend calling the place to make sure that the request has been received.
I really really liked the artichoke, it can be shared with others as it is huge. I don't remember the exact name of the dish I ordered (might be the pesto) but it tasted fresh and very nice.
For the desserts, I think that the flour free chocolate cake was really well-done. We also ordered lemon pie and tiramisu, which I think were good.
Norma is Michelin recommended restaurant with well made dishes that are fairly priced. Somehow, all our ordered dishes had some hint of eggplant :) my recommendation is caponata, eggplant smear with green olives and capers.
4.4 ⭐️ The plain tomato ~spaghetti~ (not spaghetti but something like that) is one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever eaten. So simple and so good, I don’t know how they do it.
Both other pastas I’ve had are also delicious - the mushroom linguine. Really nice food with an understated, classy neighborhood vibe. A solid neighborhood spot.
We ordered some bread for the table which was dry and underwhelming.
The best pizza in NYC! So crispy and flavored. We also ordered nuts salad and octopus with garlic. Both delicious and worth a try! The ragu rice ball was cold and the cannoli were little disappointing. But overall, it’s definitely one of the best Italian restaurants.
Never in my life have I ever been so inspired and moved by food. Everything was absolutely amazing. I felt more taken care of in this place than in therapy. Service is absolutely excellent, and food is just insane. Thank you! I’ll dream of this place when I leave New York and I’ll eat here first when I come back. 💘⭐️
Bottom line: Authentic, handmade Italian food that dazzles the taste buds.
Very happy that we stopped in here for dinner on a Monday night. I can see how this quaint space can get busy.
Spectacular food. I have no notes. You should definitely try the Beef carpaccio, Arancine, and the Busiate al pesto Trapanese (this was the surprise of the night not only with the texture, flavor, and unique shape of the pasta, but also learned that their pesto is vegan after we finished it). They also serve delightful pastas and pizzas from their wood-fired oven.
Also, don't sleep on those desserts. The pistachio ice cream cake was so light and delicious!
Service was great as well. Very knowledgeable server, and they just seemed to know when we needed anything.
The restaurant was bustling and provided the right atmosphere. Would recommend and would definitely go again.
Nice little Sicilian restaurant in Kips Bay Manhattan. Great food at decent prices. Servers were friendly and helpful. Great cozy ambience.
However I am giving a 4 star because i wonder how i ended up paying 30% tips went i had chosen 20% on the machine. Didn't notice the amount until i left the restaurant.!
I went today with my friends because we were starving and Italian food can’t never go wrong, this place was amazing, everything we order were delicious and Lucca Il Gran Cappo hooked me up with the best pasta al carbone ever. Definitely coming back here to try more dishes. Small place but everything’s great. The colombian host made our lunch more special with conversations and service.
Thanks guys !
Excellent Sicilian restaurant in New York. It’s small but cute looking. Staff is very friendly and good service. Starters and main course both have good selection and food tastes amazing with authentic Sicilian preparation.
Theirs is such a nice, cozy restaurant. Unostentatious, with delicious food and wine. Theirs is the best version of couscous I've had
