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.

It was a dinner for four people. It was surprisingly quiet given how good the food is & that there was a hockey game that night. Service was good. We'll be back.

I never leave reviews. But for my experience, it's worth it. Had a great time. The staff were awesome, very helpful. Even other customers were nice, it felt like a family owned environment with friendly faces. As for the food, crazy delicious. An all around great experience & will definately return.

La nourriture était très bonne. Cependant, malgré le fait que nous avions réservé, on semblait pas s'attendre à ce que nous venions. Le personnel a donc semblé faire des efforts afin de nous trouver une place. Cela fut une table tout au fond du restaurant derrière le comptoire pizza, donc nous pouvions très bien voir le cuisiner faire les pizza, avec toutes les odeurs de cuissons qui venait avec. Par conséquent la prochaine fois je vais procéder à ma réserveration par téléphone & m'assurer qu'ils ont de la place en salle à manger.

Service & food were excellent with the small exception of the minestrone soup which was cold despite being returned once. Will enjoy returning to this restaurant again soon.

Un vrai italien au centre-ville. Les pâtes caccio & pepe sont aussi bonnes qu'à Rome!
