Review Summary

La Medusa comes across as a warmly welcoming Italian spot in downtown Montreal, offering fresh, well prepared dishes that cover pasta, seafood, pizza and antipasti, plus a strong wine list. Reviews consistently note friendly, attentive service and a lively, family friendly ambiance that suits pre or post game outings near Centre Bell. The food is described as authentic Italian and often excellent, with many praising the pizza crust, the pasta textures and flavorful sauces, though a few mentions call out a risotto that is too salty or prices that can be high. Some moments of slower service or busy nights are acknowledged, but the overall tone points to a reliable favorite worth returning to, including interest in private dining spaces for celebrations. Overall the place is regarded as one of the top Italian options in the area, delivering consistent flavors, helpful staff, and an atmosphere that makes diners feel at home in the city.

J'y suis allée pour un diner d'affaires avec 2 collègues, service attentionné & courtois, bonne ambiance pour s'entendre & discuter, tous nos plats étaient très bons : veau, pâtes & risotto. Belle carte des vins.

Personnel gentil, ambiance feutrée. Escalopes bonnes. 1 entrée salade grec qui n'est pas grec avec vinaigre balsamique & sans féta. Burrata avec la même vinaigrette balsamique que la grec.
Carbonara dans un p'tit liquide sans saveur. Pâte aux saumon qui goûte idem que carbonnara. Télévision sur les postes de sport allumées ! Le staff de cuisine qui s'assoit dans salle a manger pour faire du cellulaires. Endroit très propre.

Toujours un plaisirs de manger a la Medusa, bonne nourriture, bonne portion & un bon choix de vin. Joe est toujours au poste pour vous recevoir & vous faire sentir comme chez vous.
A chacune de nos visites a Montreal, c'est un incontournable, un vrai resto italien traditionnel dans un décor contemporain.

On a eu le pire service que j'ai eu & la nourriture sans saveur autant le veau que l'agneau ou les pâtes, la pizza avait l'air bonne. Le serveur qui n'amène pas d'eau, laisse les bouteilles de vins dans le milieu de la table arrangez-vous & aucunement sympathique. Je ne fais jamais de critique sur internet mais j'ai tellement été déçu ...

Je suis un client régulier & autant ma famille, mes amis que mes clients apprécient l'excellent menue & le service personnalisé. Même en période de fort achalandage avant les parties de nos Glorieux, nous sommes servis rapidement & la cuisine est toujours aussi extraordinaire. La carte des vins est excellente & accessible pour tous les budgets.

Excellente nourriture. Vaste choix de vins rouges, mais chers. Choix limité de vins blancs. Bon service aux tables. Environnement plutôt bruyant .
