Gastronomia Siciliana

Norma began with its 2016 opening in Murray Hill and has since then expanded through the 2021 opening of Norma Hell’s Kitchen.

Having the same dining menu, exclusively Sicialian wine and familiar atmosphere, the two locations are no different.

At both Norma Murry Hill and Norma Hell’s Kitchen, you will find soft lighting, good music, excellent service and traditional, Sicilian-inspired food and wine. Transporting customers from the bustling NYC to a casual Sicilian kitchen, Norma is the perfect spot for date nights, family dinners, friendly gatherings and more.

“I am not culinary taught, but I was a good student in the kitchen, watching my mother and grandmother and inheriting their passion for food.”

Salvatore Fraterrigo

Chef & Owner

“I know today if you go to culinary school, you learn the technique and how to cook. You learn a lot, but you never learn about the passion that you need when you cook something.That you can learn only from family, from nonna and from mama -- they cook for family, not for business. I cook for my customers in the same way.”

Chef Salvatore grew up in Trapani, Sicily where he developed a passion for cooking by watching his mother and grandmother in the kitchen. Little by little he grew up with this fascination for cooking and began his own journey in the culinary world.

Never having been to culinary school, Salvatore discovered his own technique and mixed it with his knowledge and love of Sicilian food.

Salvatore worked this way in restaurants across the United States, opened his own restaurant in Italy, Il Radicchio, and won accolades in both Le Guide de L’Espresso and Sicilia Bell’Italia.

In 2016 he finally opened Norma Murray Hill, and in 2021 a second location in Hell’s Kitchen.

Salvatore plans to continue to cook passionately for his customers with the ultimate goal of bringing to America a little taste of Sicily.
