Best Italian Restaurants in Anna Maria

Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and kind but the food was very memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a bar! They had daily specials and lunch specials. Complimentary garlic knots were so surprising and delicious. Their mozzarella wedges are a must have. Their pastas were huge portions, very filling and delicious. Their chicken soaks up the sauce of the food so well.Their food is made fresh in house so it was a little bit of a longer wait than I am used to but well worth.Will be back again!

If you’re looking for an authentic, Sicilian meal, run to LaNorma’s! The outside patio is lovely. Service was excellent. Shout out to Gustavo! Arancini, Eggplant Rollatini, Rigatoni/Meatball Bolognese & Lobster Ravioli were outstanding. A bottle of Montepuliciano sealed the deal! Unfortunately, couldn’t fit dessert; therefore, we must return! PS-The drive thru Longboat Key at sunset is spectacular!!

This restaurant never disappoints. We have dined here several times in previous years and it is consistently very good.

We were seated promptly and our server, Terri, was a hoot! We had fried mozzarella, which came in large wedges rather than sticks. For entrees, my husband had lasagna, and I had chicken parmigiana. Both excellent and huge servings (we each brought home enough for another meal). Terri made the evening with her good humor and great service.

It was our first time there. We were so happy with all aspects of our experience. It’s a fun, classy vibe. The design and decorative choices are perfectly appointed. Our server Angela was so knowledgeable and assisted us in moving through our menu choices. Every suggestion she made was spot on. Her timing and attention to detail was much appreciated. The food was incredible, each course was delicious and the pistachio olive oil cake with gelato was over the top, wow. Matt the manager stopped by and we had a great conversation with him. Overall a 5 star experience.
