Best Sicilian in New York ???




Screen Shot 2017-05-02 at 7.48.22 PM.png


Behind the Bar at NORMA GASTRONOMIA Sicilian Trattoria / Pizzeria

Espresso Machine, Berkel Meat Slicer, and Pizza Oven


Norma Gastronomia Siciliani is without question one of the best restaurants serving Sicilian Food in New York ... There aren't many, and Norma is not only among the best, it amy very well be the best .. These great feelings start the minute you walk through the door and you're greeted by the affable owner / chef Salvatore who is an absolute gem .. His Sicilian dishes featuring Arancini (Rice Balls), Caponata, Sicilian Pizza & Pasta, Grilled Octopus and Stuffed Artichokes are as good as it gets .. My friends Carolina and Silvio narrowed it down what we would eat with the help and suggestions of Chef Salvatore .. When are antipasti of Carciofi Ripieno, Arancini con Ragu, Caponata, and Arancini Norma arrived with some tasty Focaccia I could tell just be looking at the food that it would be just perfect .. My eyes did not deceive me, and we were all quite pleased with the tastiness and authenticity of the dishes. We ordered a bottle of Cerasuolo di Vittoria / Gulfi 2015, and we were quite happy campers. The wine was excellent and went well with all our dishes. For our second course we ordered Timballo di Anelletti, Lasagna, and Pasta con Sarde. All of these dishes were wonderful as well.
Our gracious host Salvatore, besides sending us a complimentary bowl of Eggplant Caponata, also sent us 3 tasty little Cannoli for dessert.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Norma. This cute little Sicilian Trattoria contains all 3 primary elements needed to make a great restaurant that it's customers will fall in love with. The place should have a nice warm / pleasing ambiance that invites you. Needless to say, but it must be said, the food has to be very good, and you should be treated with warm friendly attentive service from the staff. Norma Gastronomia on 3rd Avenue in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan provides all three, and in spades. It is a wonderful litle Sicilian restaurant that I wish very well, as I'm hoping to be going there for years to come, and you will too. It's that kind of place. Basta.

One of NAPOLI 'S Favorite PIZZERIAS
GINO SORBILLO
to OPEN in NEW YORK
but WHERE ???

Above picture GINO SORBILLOW on left ..


Supposedly Gino Sorbillo is planning to open several locations, the rumor goes, one in TIMES SQUARE, one at 334 BOWERY, and one around UNION SQUARE .. At this moment we're not really sure, just that SORBILLO is definitely opening a SORBILLO PIZZA in New York, and rumor has it that the Bowery location may open in late Spring 2017 or in the Summer if they don't make the Spring time line ..

Spaghetti Sauce alla Sinatra




61b40-screen2bshot2b2015-11-112bat2b5-57-162bpm



Frank Sinatra



"Dam, Frank looks Bad Ass in this picture!"



Frank Sinatra? The man was one of a kind, a iconic hero to Italian-Americans for generations. We loved and love his music, films, the man and the myth of Frank Sinatra. He was one of our (Italian-Americans) own, our most beloved figure of all. So naturally we adore and emulate the man. In emulating him, we might dress like him, have similar interest, but most of all, and most attainable, we eat like him, and of course that's the food of Italy, and more so, Italian-America.

Some of Frank's favorite foods were; Clams Posilipo, Spaghetti Pomodoro (Tomato Sauce), Meatballs, Braciole, Sausages, and Veal Milanese. You too can eat as Sinatra did, with the recipes in the book SUNDAY SAUCE - When Italian-Americans Cook by Best Selling Italian Cookbook author Daniel Bellino Zwicke, whose family (The Bellino 's) just so happen to be from the same town in Sicily as the Sinatra Family. The small town of Lercara Friddi, Italy, south of Palermo is the town that one Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Martino Severino Sinatra (Frank's father) were born, as well as Italian Cookbook author Daniel Bellino "Z" ...

So, if you love Sinatra, want to read about him and what he liked to eat, as well as being able so cook ( recipes ) his favorite dishes, then the popular cookbook Sunday Sauce is a book that you'll want to get.


Some Recipes :

Sunday Sauce alla Sinatra

Mussels Marinara

Veal Milanese 

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Plus more ..
