My wife & I stopped at La Medusa for aperitivo, & it was such a treat. The staff there were the secret weapon, & made our stay enjoyable from start to finish. They were fun to engage with, great interaction. Wine list is superb, & pricing is VERY fair.
I would not hesitate to eat here again!

Went here with a large group & the restaurant was able to accommodate us with a room in the lower part of the restaurant. The food was spectacular, too much as it was part of a package, the staff were cheerful, helpful, & always there to get what we needed. A very large selection of wines to fit anyone's desire.

Very friendly & attentive staff. Extensive wine list. We had the escargot in white wine sauce. Beautiful flavours & extremely tender & tasty escargot. I had the cannelloni, beautiful tomato sauce, the pasta was cooked to perfection & generously stuffed with a tender flavourful filling topped with melted cheese & herbs. My wife had the spaghetti & meatballs. 2 large tender meatballs full of delicate seasoning, the pasta was perfect with a light yet very satisfying tomato herb sauce. The decor is very classic high end Italian, beautifully decorated, the plates are generous without being too much, & the prices very reasonable.

On of my favorite Italian spots in the city. Simple & delicious. Attentive service from old crotchety men that know their stuff. It also has an extensive wine list. Not cheap, but nothing is anymore. I go regularly, & I'm never disappointed.
