La Casa Di Norma - Crystal River

The crab ravioli was absolutely fantastic. The sauce complemented the pasta perfectly without overwhelming it, and there was just the right touch of seafood flavor.

I visited the newly opened restaurant for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and outstanding service. For dinner, we ordered a huge serving of lasagna, which was fantastic and we took the leftovers home. We also tried the special of the day: pasta with pear and gorgonzola in a cream sauce, served with black linguine. I had the calf Marcella, which came with fresh mushrooms in a wine sauce, alongside angel hair pasta in Alfredo sauce—both were excellent. We had generous portions to take home. Having checked out over 50 restaurants in Miami, I believe this one has what it takes to last, unlike many others that close within months.

This is a fantastic spot for a lovely dinner. Every dish we tried was delicious! My wife had the pear ravioli, while I ordered the chicken Florentine, accompanied by broccoli and potatoes as sides. We started with a shared caprese salad, along with complimentary bread and tomato dressing. To top off our meal, we enjoyed an apple tart and espresso. The service was excellent! The potatoes were amazing—soft on the inside with nicely browned exteriors. (Were they baked and then flash-fried?) They were so much better than steak fries, which can be bland without the right seasoning.

My husband and I went here on a few occasions and both times were fantastic. The food is authentic Italian cuisine and is simply amazing. The Alfredo sauce is by far the best I ever had. Well, if you're looking to get in, eat out of Italy, that can't be for you. The food is ordered from scratch, which requires a little more time to prepare. Do not freeze, they have an appetizer and salad menu and a wine list to keep your belly happy while waiting on the main course. Finally, I would like to mention our server Rachel, who was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She even ran out of the restaurant after me to make sure I got my rests that I had left at the table. Now I call excellent service! So you're a real Italian, that's the place for you!

My family of 7 called ahead to let them know we would be coming for dinner. They had a table ready for us. The food was great and the service was excellent. We were from out of town but hope to make it back again next year. Thanks again..
