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.

La Medusa is everything an Italian restaurant should be. All the classics plus updated versions with a unique special of the night thrown in, plus a great pizza selection. Service & atmosphere made everyone feel relaxed. Definitely worth many return trips.

Delicious food & beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately there are TVs to distract the guests which makes it more like a bar.

Out of Towners here for the Rock n Roll run 1/2 marathon, we found this restaurant on the Yelp App. Nice cozy atmosphere, my wife n I both had the chicken parasian & it was very delicious.. Great way to carb up night before the run. Would recommend to all, lots of options. Cheers!

Second visit & I will be back. Atmosphere is great & food (Chilean Seabass) was done well & the wine by the glass portioins were very generous. Always nice to see the owner there as well making sure everything is going well.
Will certainly come back.

Accueil pitoyable à l'arrivée, on a davantage l'impression qu'on dérange & qu'ils n'ont pas le goût d'y être...
Aucun sourire de notre serveur. Pas d'attention à nos demandes. Se sent bousculé.
Nourriture correct, pâtes trop al dente...
Prix un peu élevé.
Disent enfants bienvenue mais pas de menu ou portion prévues.

Point positif, écran pour suivre les Olympiques, & musique d'ambiance Celine Dion, où la plupart des clients allaient suite au souper.
