La Grande Festa
A Sicilian Saturday feast at Norma
In Sicily, lunch is a family affair: generous plates passed around, lively conversation and every reason to stay for another glass. La Grande Festa brings that spirit to Charlotte Street, with the warmth, bustle and a little glamour of a long Sicilian family lunch.
Live entertainment from Karim & Valentina sets the scene, bringing beautiful music and flamboyant Italian charm to the table. Expect laughter, raised glasses and an afternoon that makes everyone feel part of the famiglia.
Begin with warm homemade focaccia, whipped almond butter, olives and grissini, followed by antipasti to share. Next comes Pasta del Giorno, our fresh pasta of the day, served for the table. Choose your own main, from Norma’s aubergine parmigiana to beef lasagna or wild mushroom giant couscous, before coming together again for La Dolce Sicilia: chocolate caviar, cannolino and crema bruciata to share.
Add a carefully chosen wine pairing, gather your favourite people and settle in. Lunch is an occasion here.
