    The food was delicious. Like really delicious. The service just let everything down. Between the waiter sitting down at a table with their backs to everyone, refusing entry to a friend who wanted to join us at our spacious table, not topping up our wine, and not explaining the menu nor specials - this one is a miss.

    Norma is a charming spot! With French and Italian vibes. Perfect for any night. I highly recommend checking it out with the traditional dishes it won’t disappoint.

    Starters and mains were good but overall portions were extremely small. Main Fish dish which was flounder was ok just buttered with capers no real extra punch that you’d find at a restaurant. Eye fillet sold out. Gnocchi ok. Best were the starters but they were very small portions. I had to ask for an extra 2 crackers as we were 6. Bread was $12.00 for 4 pieces with butter. Octopus was very tasty so was the tuna. Food waitress was good drinks took ages to arrive. We had to remind them that we ordered cocktails. Drink Waitress all confused with our wine order. We ordered a bottle of wine but only received a glass never saw the bottle nor the waitress. Had to ask what happened to our bottle so she ended up giving us half a bottle. Profiteroles were terrible. Either stale or frozen. Very expensive for what you get.

    I've been to Norma for a date night last week and we absolutely loved it ! We took the "feed me" menu, and it's been so nice to try a bit of everything. I am obsessed with the tuna and the duck, and being picky on this last one, I have to say it's the best I've eat in Melbourne so far . The waitress was lovely and attentive to details. The ambiance was cosy and intimate. We've get the vibe of a small familial restaurant without fuss but great quality of food. We will be back for sure . A northern side address to add to your to do list !

    the menu for food and drinks lacked enough options. I would not say it was an outstanding experience in the sense that there wasn’t anything that was ordered that I can rave about however the service and atmosphere was nice and I’d probably come back again if I was looking for a casual week day spot.

    We loved every single dish, the flavours were incredible. The service was very attentive but also relaxed which suited the venue perfectly. Best meal I’ve had out in a while and my friends agreed. Will definitely be back
