Great food, fantastic service, great gluten free options. Would definitely recommend this local spot for lunch or dinner.

We visit Longboat Key annually, and since LaNorma opened in 2019, it’s been a must-visit every trip. This year, we were lucky to stay for two weeks — and dined at LaNorma three times, including their incredible Wine Tasting experience on May 9. Our first meal was with my wife and mother: Salmon Piccata, Rigatoni with Meatballs, Arancini, and a Mediterraneo Salad — every dish was outstanding. Gustavo’s service made the evening even better. The second visit was a family dinner with seven of us. The Veal Saltimbocca stole the show — truly unforgettable. Everyone loved their meals, and Tatiana provided flawless service. It was a perfect night. The following day, my wife and I attended the Wine Tasting event. We’ve done wine experiences in Italy, including Tuscany, and this easily matched some of the best. Sommelier Riccardo brought the wines of Piedmont (Nebbiolo, Barbera, Barbaresco, and Barolo) to life with rich stories and expert insight. The four-course lunch (plus dessert) was paired beautifully with the wines, and they thoughtfully accommodated my wife’s gluten-free needs. Yulia’s attentive service and the warm presence of Daniela and Giuseppe made the experience truly memorable. Final thoughts? LaNorma has always been a favorite, but this trip confirmed it's better than ever. The food is sublime — if I had to choose a last meal, it’d be the Veal Saltimbocca. The wine list has improved, and the welcoming atmosphere makes every visit feel like coming home. Congratulations to the entire LaNorma team for creating something truly exceptional on beautiful Longboat Key. We can’t wait to return.

Do NOT come here if you are gluten intolerant or celiac. Items are labeled (gf) and at the bottom of menu it specifically states to ask/tell your server to request the item gluten free. I did this and the waitress said “it’s already gluten free”. The dish I ordered was absolutely not. It stated ‘orzo-rice” on the menu and it had orzo which is a gluten pasta. I stated this to the waitress and she said “no it’s rice”. I insisted it has orzo pasta and had her ask the kitchen, which confirmed I would have ended up violently sick if I had ate it and trusted her. She didn’t offer to take the plate or re-plate, I had to ask for side of rice. Extremely disappointed and we will not be returning. Fish portion was small and under salted for a $35 dish.
