- NNormaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was excellent! We were there for lunch with an old friend we hadn’t seen in a long time and stayed over 3 hrs. There was no hint of wanting us to leave despite that we were the last. We only had salad and the lamb riblets which are always delicious along with wine that the waiter recommended. He let us try it before serving it. We also had dessert which was delicious chocolate cake with sour cherry ice cream and also hazelnut honey ice cream which was also delicious.More infoEvviaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Palo Alto•4.8
