Locanda Da Valentino In Norma

We had lunch at this inn for Ferragosto (August 15th) and were truly thrilled. The quality of the food is fantastic: exquisite dishes, carefully prepared with top-quality ingredients. The strong point was the extraordinary flexibility and attention to our needs: they were extremely willing to modify the menu to accommodate our food allergies, without any problems and ensuring maximum safety. Furthermore, despite the restaurant being packed for the holiday, the service was extremely fast, organized, and always with a smile. A truly rare efficiency on a day like Ferragosto. Compliments to all the staff for their professionalism and hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Let's start with the positives: the fettuccine with truffle, the ramekin with tomato sauce, and the braised pork cheek were all very good, but everything else needs work. Little customer service and subpar desserts. They served our main courses immediately, and then nothing; we waited twenty minutes before calling the waitress, who, after clearing the table, didn't provide us with any information or a menu for the desserts. After ordering, we waited another 30 minutes before calling again, as the wait staff had forgotten our order. Given the dishes we'd previously tasted, we had high expectations for the taste and presentation of the desserts, but we were disappointed. Too bad... we had high hopes from the start. P.S. Given the paper menu, we recommend adding any changes and non-menu items to it daily.

Very nice and welcoming, the staff were young but well-mannered and professional. The food was excellent, in short, everything was good. We'll definitely be back. A special mention for the really good tacos.

Nice place, we dined outside in the little square. The appetizers, the pie, and the tacos were good. The entrees were good enough but not exceptional. The pork cheek wasn't tender and was a bit sour. The staff was friendly and service was quick.

This restaurant is located in the center of Norma. The atmosphere is modern, very clean, and very pleasant. The staff is friendly, although when we asked for a mix of cheeses and cured meats, we were told it wasn't possible. We also asked for a first course to be served with a different type of pasta, but this request was also denied. The dishes were very well presented, although they weren't to my taste. The bill didn't seem to reflect our satisfaction with the food.

Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and set in a cool, beautiful little square. The staff welcomed us even though it was late (almost 3 PM), and we were served patiently and kindly until the last minute. It's worth the trip.

I never give a 5, otherwise they get too big for their boots 😁 and always have that extra something to achieve that pushes them to do better. Anyway, very good and well-refined cuisine, the cheek was superb. The truffle was also excellent; it's the area that's renowned, to be clear. Want some photos? Here they are.

Even though we arrived late (around 2:50 PM), they welcomed us very kindly. Then the lunch began: a delicious mixed appetizer, and the truffle pasta was spectacular. Then we finished with desserts; I had to try them all: the berry, sorbet, and peach were all delicious. How could you not go back?

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, recommended by a local passerby. My family and I were thrilled with it in every way. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Traditional home-style cuisine with a contemporary touch and presentation. Nestled within the historic, narrow alleys of Norma, the restaurant offers a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Personally, the pasta dishes stood out more than the meat main courses, where the sauces tended to be slightly overpowering.
