Been coming here since last Thanksgiving and truly enjoyed the experience and food. Best Italian food I’ve had in this part of Florida by far. Friendly staff and Chef Garcia cooks up a mean dish. Never a bad experience.
AFFORDABLE
Outstanding service the food comes out perfect and I'm tiramisu is the best of I've had
I have said in my past posts that I am very particular when it comes to Italian cuisine. This restaurant was excellent in every phase of their presentations. The wine was not a blend but a very nice Cab from the bottle. The food was spot on Italian. The table settings were very good, the staff knowledgeable. Excellent food ! We will return.

Calamari was delicious chicken parmesan was so thin were over done so was the veal was charged 10.50 for Arnold Palmer since no refill very disappointed
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Casa di Norma. After two weeks on the road in Florida, this was hands down the best meal we had! The bread with butter and a tomato pesto were terrific while we waited for our food. We ordered the Spaghetti Puttanesca and Penne della Nonna, while our kids were able to choose from a kid-sized portion of the regular menu, opting for Fettuccine Alfredo and Carbonara. The service was excellent—it’s a family-owned restaurant, and the daughter served us while the father, with 30 years of experience in Italian cuisine, was the chef. The mother ensured everything ran smoothly. The restaurant was clean, and the ambient music added to the great atmosphere.

Outstanding dining experience. Excellent service, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere. The Osso Buco over saffron rice and truffle oil was superb, and both the lemon chicken and Fruti Di Mare over pasta of choice, were raved upon by other family members. Highly recommend.

Has good reviews but both chicken dishes we ordered were very stringy, dry and hard as rubber. I sent mine back as it was not edible. I then got the meatballs with pasta. Meatballs were horrible. Tasted like oregano and salt. Pasta was soggy and extremely microwave hot. Bread is dinner rolls probably from Winn Dixie and warmed up. The restaurant was hot and stuffy. Water stains on the ceiling and lots of dust on the ceiling fans. Wait staff was excellent but food was no good and way overpriced.
