Review Summary

La Medusa comes across as an inviting Italian spot with warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. Reviews praise homemade pasta, delicious pizza, seafood, and a well-curated wine list, with hospitality that makes groups feel at home. The location near downtown and event venues is convenient for concerts or games, and the staff are helpful and accommodating, though a few comments mention value for money and occasional slower service.

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.

Our evening at LaMedusa was just what we needed after a busy day exploring Montreal. The wait staff was attentive & accomodating from the moment we walked in the door. The menu was varied & the food delicious. Our waiter was knowledgeable & helped us choose to right wine. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the large screen televisions spread through the restaurant. They took away from the ambieance.

FANtastic! A must for a pregame dinner before a Habs game. Max, Pauli & staff are great & always have time to share a story. Food is great, they have the traditional Italian dishes fused with a modern twist. Calamari, pasta & Grappa!

That was the best Italian dinner I have ever had in my entire life. The Osso Bocco is to die for & the fresh pasta was incredible. Also best Buffala Mozzarella with tomatoes I have ever eaten. That place is amazing. Well done to the owner & the chef!! Me & my wife will be back guaranteed.

When the reservation was made I requested a special table as we were celebrating a special event. The staff did not accommodate us, presumably because no one had seen my request. Food was good & the service was fine, but we wouldn't go back.
