Norma in
New York (NY)

Great Italian Restaurant. We had a waiting time of 15 mins for group of 3 and for 2 people it is relatively faster. The Pizza felt so fresh with Tomatoes and Cheese. Also tried Schrimp Pasta that was delicious as well. The Staff were nice and friendly and ambience is perfect for a cozy dinner.

1 star for the really great food but I do need to leave a poor review for the way they packaged our food to go. They put hot soup in a box and it ended up seeping through on our walk home and all of the food was spoiled from dropping on the floor and being soiled from the broth . This really should not have happened and it's a shame considering we had a lot of left overs .

We stopped by for a quick bite and were delighted to discover this little gem while walking around the area. The food is delicious, the Sicilian vibes abound in warmth, and the service was just on point. Loved the combination of four cheeses on the thin-crust pizza, the bruschetta was delicious, the arugula salad mouth-watering, and the Prosecco hit the spot! Definitely coming back when around!

My family and I didn’t plan well for dinner and randomly stumbled upon Norma and it was the best experience. My son still talks about the pizza and now compares every pizza to it, nothing has come close. The service was friendly and food came fast. The drinks were amazing as well. I wish I lived closer!

What a find. Loved the food, setting and service. Pesto Trapanese pasta was delicious and the coffee Italian and strong just as I like it.

Saturday night. Norma’s is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC and I have been eating here forever. The food is reasonably priced and authentic Italian—ALWAYS good. Staff is accommodating and helpful. I have never felt rushed and the selections offered by staff are great Special shout out for Christina for going out of her way to help and Alicia for wine suggestions

This place has the best pizza I've ever had in my life. The crust is thinner but airy and light and the red sauce is to die for! If you're looking for authentic Sicilian food, definitely visit this place. It's a cute place for date night in the evening or casual eating during the day. Try the Bruschetta and the Prosciutto pizza!!

From the moment we walked in, this Sicilian gem felt like a little slice of the Mediterranean. The ambiance was warm and rustic, with soft lighting, The food was incredible! The arancini were perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy and flavorful within. The lasagna was a standout! But what truly elevated our evening was the service, especially our waitress, Alessa (I hope I’m spelling that right!). She was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, genuinely knowledgeable about the menu, and full of great wine recommendations. Her warmth and charm made us feel like welcome guests rather than just customers. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly loves what they do, and she brought an extra layer of hospitality that made our dinner unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back! not just for the amazing food, but for the heart and soul this place puts into every detail.

Norma is definitely my favourite pizza spot in town! The food is amazing and the staff is always welcoming and nice. My husband and I are regulars here and keep coming back not only for the delicious pizza but also because the team makes every visit special. Alessia is always incredibly kind, professional and attentive — she makes us feel at home every time. We also love Davide, who’s always friendly and warm. If you want real Italian pizza and great vibes, Norma is the spot! ?

Love this place — the pizza is one of my favorites in NYC for wood fired pizza. Get the octopus appetizer. The pasta is also delish — we got the gnocchi but the goat cheese w lamb ragu one is also delish.

AMAZING! The food was delicious! I had the gnocchi bolognese and it was probably the best gnocchi I have ever had! The sauce was delicious and I tried several of the other dishes at my table and they were all so good!

If you are to get one thing here get the mortadella pizza. I don’t eat pork so I substituted with beef. Still 10/10 godly. 1st pic is beef version. 2nd pic is pork version. They got other good items but honestly nothing is nearly as good as that pizza.

Just magical. Service is also nice; they can manage a wine suggestion for a mixed set of dishes beautifully.

Quality Italian food, the lasagna was perfectly cooked and with several layers of pasta, béchamel and sauce. Very nice selection of wine from Italy. Next time I’d like to try the gnocchi dish, as we saw several people enjoying it. The waitress was patient with my elderly parents, thank you !

We went in during dinner time and grabbed a table immediately, the wine we got was very good. Their bread starter and the eggplant crostini was amazing. However the C’antrovas pasta and the margaritas pizza was alright

Wow! What an amazing little spot. We arrived about 10 minutes after opening on a Sunday and it quickly filled up. It is so cute inside and a well thought out space but the food is definitely the star here. We were served fresh crusty bread with olive oil immediately after sitting down. We started with an arugula salad with pears which was well seasoned and heaping in fresh Parmesan cheese. I had the lasagna which literally melts in your mouth, the pasta is paper thin and layered in a delicious ragu. My husband has the pasta trapanese pesto. The pasta noodles were cooked all dente and the sauce was fresh and light. Every single thing we had was a 10/10. Will def be back!

Really cosy setting, great service and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the swordfish pasta with a tomato sauce, almonds and eggplant. Hands down one of the better pasta dishes I've ever eaten. If you're in the area and want Italian, this is a must go. Pricing very decent for being New York City as well.

Amazing food. I highly recommend the gnocchi. Also, the prices are very reasonable considering the Michelin awards hanging in the front window.

Amazing dinner. I was traveling solo and arrived for an early dinner. They greeted me warmly and despite being a party of 1, they seated me at a great table and not relegated to the bar. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The gnocchi was perfect. So good!

As far as authentic Italian restaurants go, this fits the bill perfectly. My pizza was absolutely amazing, with fresh delicious vegetables. Service was amazing too, Stefano was really attentive and friendly. A very charming spot, full of character and great value for money. It now lives on my NYC favourites list ?

Cute neighborhood spot for regional Sicilian cuisine. Tasted authentic. The pizza looked outstanding but we went with arincini and pasta with a ragu with eggplant and peas. Great pasta. We left happy.

First time visiting and the food and service was top of the line! We ordered the Burrata for appetizer, and the lasagna parlemitana with busiate al pesto trapanese, everything was amazingly tasty. My only complaint was the tiny table you get for a party of 2. The place is small and cozy but I feel a true Italian cuisine restaurant deserve the table space to put the entire meal. Honestly, the delicious food, the attentive service and the amazing wine made me forget about the tiny table. ❤️ Thank you Giovanni for a great evening and accommodating my mom and in a more comfortable space ?

So far, my favorite Italian restaurant in this area. Comfortable dining experience with a cozy seating and friendly staff. I like the their pizza (I forgot the name, but we ordered a veggie pizza with eggplant on it) more than other famous pizza restaurants. On the flip side, their famous rice ball was not very impressive to me, although it tasted good. Generally, I will definitely come again!

Enjoyed a lot in Norma. Good Pizza and Pasta and the service with the Italian staff member was just excellent. The restaurant feels and taste authentic and is very charming. The food was prepared super fast and was just on point, the Pizza dough is excellent. This is a gem in NY and the prices are pretty good. Totally recommend it.

Quaint store with super kind and quick staff. I was eating by myself and ordered a Margherita pizza and I was in and out in 15 min. I was sat immediately upon entering and my server Luca came up to me about a minute later to take my order, that came out in less than five minutes. I’m a quick eater so I finished it in about 10 min. I would say that it was a 12-14 inch pizza. Check came quickly but I was told I could wait a bit. Didn’t feel like they were trying to flip tables and get me out of there which was great! Pizza is saucy which I loved! All around a great experience.

I love service here: polite and friendly, fast. I ordered Gnocchi with beef. Gnocchi was perfect cooked. I can't say that this experiment with to add beef to this dish was lucky. I prefer more a classic Gnocchi. My rate is 4 from 5. The wine was smooth and tasty. There are many tables, but they are located close to each other. I want more private (especially in winter time, because you have to look for a place for your voluminous jacket). It would be nice to have a separate hanger for such cases. The overall rate is 5 from 5. Thanks

Had dinner in the back patio and it was great. Although it was hot, they had ceiling fans and it worked out just fine. The food was amazing and it’s always a place that we know it won’t let us down. We had a salad and a pizza and two pastas.
