NORMA - Trattoria e Aperitivo brings the warmth of an Italian family table right to the heart of Brussels, with homemade pasta and a cozy, convivial vibe that really does feel like you’re in someone’s dining room. For those of us navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity, the kitchen does offer gluten-free pasta on request—staff are reportedly attentive and accommodating, with some guests mentioning a chef who is "très précautionneux." Still, it's important to know this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; wheat flour is milled fresh daily for focaccia and other dishes, so cross-contact risk is present. If you’re someone who can’t afford even a crumb, you’ll want to weigh that risk carefully—though if you’re comfortable with well-intentioned protocols in a shared kitchen and clear communication, you might just savor a taste of Italy without worry.
