About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
We really care about what we do: we only use Italian extra virgin olive oil, our pasta is freshly made, our varieties of cheese are all imported, our vegetables are organic, our cuts of meat are all top-shelf, our wine list is mostly a tribute to Italian local producers.
We are from the South, and we don’t forget that. But we would like to take You on a flavorful journey so You can enjoy bits and pieces of the broad Italian culinary tradition.
Our goal is to offer You a good time through uncompromising, genuine Italian recipes. We only ask you to be a little patient while we make them fresh: some call it “slow food”, for us it is the only way to cook.

Our story is reflected in our dishes: we hope You enjoy the experience.

    Second visit to the Restaurant and the food and service were of high quality. Again the starter of Antipasto Italiano with Burrata was the highlight, so fresh and delicious. Branzino & Puttanesca was a good choice for a main dish and did not disappoint. A lovely experience overall, helped in no small part with the attentive service from Tatiana. La Norma should be on your list if visiting LBK.

    Definitely worth a stop in this nondescript little restaurant. Pizzas are great, but the highlight was the Puttenesca pasta with Bronzino. Great value, fresh bread, and a very attentive waitress, even if she was handling the entire 20-person dining room by herself.
