This was an incredible experience. I was referred to La Medusa from a friend while on a visit to Montreal. We turned up (a little late - sorry) but were graciously welcomed by Joe. Seated in soft plush orange chairs & served by Pino. Pino was so good. Made our time fun & some great suggestions. Started with the meatball & rappini. the meatball was amazing only better I had was from my mom. The rappini was better than my moms. The white lasagna was the best ever. I will crave this all the time. Do no hesitate, order the white lasagna. All in all an outstanding dinner & experience. Thanks so much to everyone for taking such great care of us. I will definitely go back my next time in Montreal. Best Italian I have had in North America.
Comme première visite & expérience chez La Médusa, j'ai apprécié l'endroit, la propreté des lieux incluant salle de toilette ! Eh oui! car je me suis toujours dit que l'entretien des salles de toilette est le reflet de la qualité de la cuisine & des lieux.
J'ai aimé mon choix de vin 🍷 ainsi que la pizza 🍕& salade....

La bouffe était bonne, sauf les calmars Médusa. Mais la musique était plate & tellement forte. On se serait cru dans les années 80. On a préférer ne pas prendre de café pour jaser dehors tellement c'était difficile de s'entendre à l'intérieur.
Le service a été très amical & efficace.
