This is a tiny place on Prince Street. It can be a little noisy with everyone being seated very close to each other, but it's tolerable. We had bruschette for an appetizer. It was the classic version with olive oil and tomatoes and was awesome. Three of us had lasagna, and the fourth person had penne with tomato sauce and basil. They have a lava cake that isn't on the menu, and the two who had it were fans. All of the food was excellent. Reservations have to be made a month in advance and are recommended. However, there were a few folks who came without reservations after 8 p.m. who were able to be seated. Prices are pretty low for food of this quality.

Excellent food, excellent service, very small, crowded, noise level high. We picked a delightful Italian wine, ordered two appetizers, the arancini and a special appetizer which was a bruschetta with burratta and octopus. They both were very good and the portions were Hugh, we certainly only needed one. For entrees we enjoyed Tagliatelle wild boar ragu and a special squid ink pasta with seafood. Make a reservation you will have a wonderful time.

We were our for a quick easy dinner and found Norma. Professional servers, nice selection of appetizers including the nicest octopus capriccio I have had anywhere in years. Good wine selection (no hard liquor). Pizzas were exceptional. Coffee and dessert great too. Not cheap, but far from expensive. A little loud, but clean and upscale. I be back.

We had booked a table but it wasn't ready when we arrived - they just seem to squeeze people in without much of a plan. We were left to stand & wait for fully 10 minutes until they eventually found a table for us. Place was packed but food was pretty ordinary both in terms of choice & quality. Staff friendly but rushed. Prices ok for New York, around US$250 for 4 people with a bottle of wine.

After reading the reviews I had high expectations. The wine recommendations were excellent but the waiter was a bit pushy recommending too much food! We had a seafood/veggie combo appetizer and the Sicilian rice balls. Be prepared for fish and shrimp complete with heads and eyes. My sister did not like her grilled seafood plate, it looked a little too fresh from the sea. The pastas were good but a bit too al dente. Super loud once it fills up, can't really have a conversation. Next time I'll try somewhere else. Cute little place and Spring Street is a fun area for strolling.
