A Pasta Bar with a Personal Touch

Super Norma is a small, laid-back pasta bar that feels more like a visit to a relative’s home than a typical lunch spot. Created by close friends Marco Salzano and Luca Muscato, the concept is rooted in their southern Italian heritage—blending comforting, home-style cooking with a playful atmosphere and a soundtrack of vintage Italo-disco.

From Nonna’s Kitchen to Yours

The menu is intentionally simple and personal. Many of the recipes come straight from Marco’s childhood, where he learned to cook alongside his nonna in Naples. Highlights include the signature Super Norma, a hearty pasta alla Norma loaded with eggplant, and a traditional Neapolitan ragù made with nine different cuts of meat, slow-cooked for hours and served over thick rigatoni. There’s usually a special or two, but the focus stays on doing a few things really well.

Tiny Space, Big Personality

Meals come in takeaway-friendly noodle boxes, though the charm really kicks in if you snag a seat inside. The space is tiny—fitting around a dozen diners—but full of character: hanging dried chillies, retro decor, and a steady stream of records playing on the turntable (a nod to the duo’s side project, Disco Mediterranea). The vibe is relaxed, warm, and just a little bit cheeky—like a lunch date with your nonna, if she happened to be into old-school disco.
