Super souper pour l'anniversaire de ma mère la nourriture était parfaite tout comme Paolo notre super serveur c'est à refaire! Je recommande fortement pour de la nourriture typiquement Italienne.
The experience was far below expectations. The price of the food was as expected but the food itself was not appetizing at all. My breaded veal was extremely soggy & dry from within, same with the cannelloni. Definitely would not recommend it.
I ate at this restaurant with my family & I rate it at a perfect 10. The food, the service, the atmosphere was absolutely out of this world. We all ordered different dishes & all the meal was delicious. The wine list was plenty of good choices to choose from. Thanks to the great staff for our evening an enjoyable one. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone
The food was just as great as the service ! The food came in super fast despite being on a Friday night during Formula 1 weekend. Definitely worth a try if you love pizza. A lot of places have a well cooked dough but that doesn't stand under its own weight. That pizza dough was crunchy & tasty. I was really happy with it. The only'downside' I suppose, are the prices for drinks, 20$ for a Martini but it's getting hard to find reasonably priced drinks anywhere these days.
Overall would definitely recommend for sure. I didn't catch our server's name, but a super nice guy from Naples, his smile & jokes made the experience even better !
We visited this restaurant with our 4 year old daughter after being turned away at another restaurant. The staff were sincerely kind & friendly. They welcomed us with open arms & gave my daughter treats. The food was great, I had the salmon with vegetables & my spouse has the lamb chop & shrimp with vegetables. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Would recommend for anyone into Italian to stop by.

Authentic Italian cuisine! Food & service excellent! Had muscles & calamari as entree, delicious, pizza was amazing, fish of the day was even more delicious! Highly recommended! Parking in back, but more public parking on stanley.
This elegant Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown on rue Drummond is truly a gem of Montreal. The pizzas & pastas are to die for especially the pizza inspired by the Montreal Canadians which has maple sirop! A must try is the traditional tiramisu as well! Super comfortable & elegant chairs & table set up & the servers including Pablo & the rest of the staff go above & beyond in order to deliver service & friendliness beyond what I have ever experienced' if you want true Italy in Montreal, go here! You will be blown away. The pizzas are made in a stone oven, just like in Italy & the pasta is succulent, fresh & extraordinary! grazie mille al team di signori che si sono presi cura di noi come se fossimo delle celebrità I will return again & tell everyone I. Know about this gem & fully recommend it as one of my favorite if not my preferred Italian restaurant in Montreal !!!!

While in town for the Campus Stores Canada Conference, my company sponsored a reception at La Medusa in downtown Montreal, & the impeccable customer service left a lasting impression, with a staff that was attentive, friendly & went above & beyond. The ambiance was delightful, complemented by a tasteful decor that added to the overall experience. As for the food, every dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the authentic flavors of Italian cuisine. From appetizers to desserts, La Medusa demonstrated culinary excellence. Our event was elevated by this extraordinary dining experience, making it a memorable occasion & highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of exceptional service & delectable Italian cuisine in the heart of Montreal.
Unforgettable cuisine & outstanding, attentive service. The menu is enormous which is often a red flag but you really can't go wrong here. The filet mignon risotto is to die for as is the lobster tagliatelle. I always recommend this place whenever someone is looking for Italian downtown.
