    Couscous con pesce
    erica m.

    Norma is a newer addition to Sutton Place so wanted to give it a try. So new , that they do not have a liquor license yet. We split the Rucola e Parmigiano which was large and very tasty, but just a tad too much balsamic. For dinner, I really wanted some kind of fish with pasta but this was not an option. I asked if the cous-cous in the names sake con peace could be swapped out for pasta and was told no. This turned out to be some kind of stew...it was tasty but I knew I didn't like cous cous and there was a lot of it. I would nit get this again. My friend had the Fettuccine ai Funghi, which she liked. Bread was excellent, service was pretty good. The atmosphere is charming and inviting, music was low and unobtrusive which I appreciate. But, I think for our neighborhood they're plenty of other restaurants that have a fish and pasta option so if they want to compete the menu needs tweaking (imo).

    Fennel and orange salad

    We are visiting nyc from dc and we have our favorite Italian restaurants in our area. Norma beat them all. Some of the best Italian I've had. Server was slightly green but we had multiple people come check on us during our meal and the staff went out of their way to greet and see us off with an Italian hello and farewell. Could not recommend this restaurant more. Typical nyc pricing. Great portion size. We had 4 pasta entrees, 2 salads, a soda, a beer and a glass of wine and the total came to $210.

    Anelletti Siciliani
    Clèm B.

    Amazing Sicilian restaurant ! The atmosphere was warm and comfy and the service perfect ! We tried one of the arancine (ragu), the trapanese pasta and the Anelletti Everything was delicious, served extra warm and tasty. The portions are generous I will go back to try more of the pasta dishes and the pizzas which looked delicious

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Situated in Turtle Bay and only open for less than a year, this is the third outpost of Norma. I am Sicilian and this food is great. I have the pasta with anchovy, pine nuts, and raisins with toasted breadcrumbs. My husband had the veal, meatball appetizer and the spaghetti with red sauce. We both sincerely thought that this food was so top-tier and for what it was very inexpensive. The atmosphere is fantastic the server David was very nice -all in all EXCELLENT-since we live in the neighborhood we will be back.

    If I wanted to go to Italy this place made that clear to me that I have to. The food was amazing. Waitress was on point and on top of us like they should be. The place was beautiful. Definitely would be back when I'm in the city.

    Carpaccio di Polipo
    Lizzy K.

    I have always wanted to go to Italy but when I am at Norma, it feels like one step closer. It is hard to believe just about everything is imported from Sicily. You can feel not just the passion and love for the region, but also the passion and love for food in every bite, every detail of the restaurant. I adored the lighting - so warm and cozy, not too crowded or noisy. Our Vincenzo treated us like we were VIP, he took his time with recommendations, answering our questions and describing the origin of the restaurant, a sign of a restaurant who is eager to have a relationship with their locals! I had a big lunch so I ordered thinly sliced octopus carpaccio appetizer - it ended up being enough and it was delicious, the olive oil had an outstanding flavor. It was even better as left-overs. My husband loved his pizza dish. We can't wait to go back!

    Pizza Prosciutto & Rucola
    Daniel G.

    There are Italian restaurants, and then there's Norma. Just about anything they can import from Sicily, they do. The prosciutto and arugula pizza was delicious and make sure to dip some of the crust in olive oil- it's so flavorful. Our waiter Vincenzo was really helpful with picking wine too and you could tell how passionate he was about good hospitality. Can't wait to come back and try other pizzas or pastas.

    This was a fun place to go to with a group. It is located in Turtle Bay. Unassuming place with very good food. The traditional Sicilian cuisine certainly lives up to its name. The first one opened in Murray Hill in 2015 and has expanded to include Norma in Hell's Kitchen in 2021. This is its latest venture - opened in 2024. You will fell like you are in Italy here! Everything was very good - form the pizza to the chicken to the salads - and of course, the wine! I was so thrilled they let us sit and talk since I hadn't seen my friends in quite some time! I also love how the place is decorated. - I love the ceramics all over. You will be very happy with whatever you choose here!

    Cute new Sicilian spot in the neighborhood! Was walking to La Vera to grab a super casual and quick slice before work and I walked passed Norma - saw the sign that they were new and had to pop in! Front area is small and adorable with few seats at the bar and a few small 2 top tables by the window and door. Back dining area was nice and spacious. Extensive wine menu but didn't have time for anything except a pizza - got the Bresaola pizza and it did not disappoint! Good value for the size of pizza (I was expecting this to be a place where they price gouge you for a small tiny pizza) so I was very happy! I could've used a little citrus on the pizza for my liking but I may not be used to Sicilian flavors. Overall incredible quality of ingredients - the pizza had bresaola, arugula, sweet cherry tomatoes and a beautiful silky smooth strattiatella. The drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top was a nice and necessary touch in addition to the crust! Will come back to get the full experience. Staff was truly lovely and I really enjoyed the ambiance and meal.

    Honestly, one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Martina was absolutely fantastic and made excellent food suggestions which led me to this ricona buffala pizza. When I said I don't drink alcohol she suggested a great non alcoholic beer too. I'm going to try and get my family eating here now.

    The best lasagna I've had in manhattan. If I could give this place more stars I would. Fantastic food, drinks, and service. Marco is the best waiter!

    Trenette al pomodoro with extra garlic
    Fiona H.

    The service was friendly, the place was nice, the food was well prepared but without doubt, the bread was the star! Be careful of filling up on the delicious, crusty bread before your food comes! We ordered the burrata (good), the arugula salad (well dressed), the trenette al pomodoro (pasta cooked perfectly! Sauce was decent. Glad we ordered extra garlic since the sauce needed a little kick), and the pizza diavola was good. As mentioned in other reviews, the middle was mushy so I recommend asking for it cooked a little longer. The crust itself was chewy and tasty. I'll probably go again since it's so close but there are plenty of other Italian/pizza options nearby.

    Busiate al pesto trapanese
    Daniel B.

    What a delicious meal. We started off with the stuffed artichoke, which was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the bread and oil. For mains, we split the buffalo mozzarella pizza and the busiate al pesto trapanese. The pizza was wonderful - great dough, and nice cook on it as well, though the very middle was a bit floppy. The pasta was interesting - nothing like l've ever had, but something I could definitely see myself ordering again. Our waiter was attentive and excellent, and while it was a bit cold, the decor was a nice touch as well with a vegetable theme.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

All the dishes came out within short intervals. Handmade drinks came straight from the bar. Overall we spent over two wonderful hours dining and drinking here.

It's a small area with the tables pretty close together. We were given a table in the far corner, which was perfect for comfort and looking out at the restaurant. Two of us each ordered a glass of house wine, which were "ok." We opted for the Boqueria Experience, which is $65 per person and includes a variety of chef-selected tapas, a paella and an order of the restaurant's special JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA, which is described on the charcuterie menu as aged 48 months, with deep marbling, rich and nutty flavor. We enjoyed most of the tapas, including the potatoes, the beef/lamb balls, the salad and bruschetta. The croquettes were "ok" with the heavy aeoli masking some of the flavor. The seafood paella was good and was different from ones I've had in the past, with the caramelized layer on the bottom. Yum. Honestly, none of us was a big fan of the Jamon Iberico de Bellota. I'm sure it's special and luxurious, but we found it not to have much flavor. Frankly, it was a big disappointment for us. The service was beyond excellent. We were very pleased with the timing of the presentation of the meal, the superb water service and the general enthusiasm and pleasantness of the Staff. We will come back and try different items on the ala carte menu. I thought there would be more seafood and meat tapas offerings in the "Experience". Instead, it was a lot of cheese, vegetables, dates and bread. Although $65 per person likely was a good value for what we got, I think the tapas items were heavy on the lower cost tapas and that it wasn't a true top-of-the-line "Experience". A seafood dish or even a chicken dish (chicken wings) instead of one of the two croquette offerings would have helped.

Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.
