This place is a find!!!! Located in a strip mall it's easy to miss it but wow! GREAT food and service. Felt like I was in a small restaurant in Italy. We had the Bianca pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I've had. Next time I'll try one of their pasta dishes ; they all looked wonderful. We went there our last night on vacation. Would have definitely gone back had we discovered La Norma earlier !!!
When visiting Longboat Key we always make time to pop into La Norma. It's laidback vibe, solid wine menu, and Italian favorites are always on point. Appreciate the service which is unpretentious but attentive. Thank you for another wonderful meal!
Ambience was pleasant and quaint inside. Service was a bit slow but very friendly, a bus person would have helped the 2 servers that were on, as it was a Saturday night in the off season. The food was good the Veal Parmesan was good but had way too much sauce on it, as did the pasta with it. The Rigatoni with Meatballs was also very heavy on the sauce. The sauce was very acidic so it was overwhelming the dishes. The Cannoli's and the bread were excellent. I would go again...
