Very homey and warm place with delicious food and very attentive knowledgeable waiters. Arancini, chocolate torte, and roasted carrot salad were the standouts for me, sadly they were out of the whole fish by the time we ate. Will be back to try that.

This is a cute place where all the pasta is handmade. It’s menu is always changing and the atmosphere is very warm. Rustic style interior. The service is adequate and they charge an auto 18.5% tip. The food is about a 5/10. Sauce is okay for the Spaghetti I ordered and average taste meatballs. The chicken liver my friend ordered in her pasta was a bit strong tasting. My paste tasted good, as it should.

I don’t have anything negative to say about La Medusa but I also don’t have anything overwhelmingly positive to say either. The food was… good but not great. Nothing was bad about the experience, but there weren’t any dishes that I felt were great. Quality of service was exceptional.

Started at Persephone next door. Had a recommended Amaro drink (it’s there specialty) and the fried smelts. It was wonderful. Next door we had couple of their seasonal apps and two pastas. The food and service were great. Both places had a nice casual vibe. Persephone had the record player going with old school jazz.

Our dinner for 4 was lovely. On Wednesday evening a table was immediately available (not likely common). Tasty cocktails. Excellent baked bread from two blocks away. Attentive service. The kicker is the menu. Sicilian leaning dishes with distinctive flavors – not over powering. An assortment of appetizers could make up the entire meal. The pastas in our entrees were marvelous. Don’t expect a family-sized portion like some franchise Italian restaurants. Don’t expect some pasta with a pint of sauce. The portions are filling and the pasta is foremost – and fresh. If you want a bit more sauce, ask. We each had an entree and shared them around the table – not one bite was left. So good!

Always a hit and never a miss. I didn’t add any pictures of the food because they are already all out there to see. The quality and taste of this food remains the same each time I have it. Outstanding! Equal to the food is the customer service. Here it is New Year’s Eve and our servers are not making us feel rushed to eat and get out so another group could be served. Pulled up and parked right outside the front door. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. You can pick anything off the menu and it’s going to be great. Will continue come back again and again. The food is fresh and simple and most of all…delish!

Had a great meal at La Medusa! The paccheri with mushrooms, leeks, and ricotta was delicious. The service was great but the meal cost a pretty penny

I made a reservation. 30 min after our reservation time we were still waiting. I suspect the host gave our table away but couldn’t admit it. After a table of 4 people vacated the host claimed the table is meant for 6 people and felt conflicted to seat us. Looking around the place, there was a table for 4 with only 2 people. Sorry, sounds like math is challenging for the host. Never again. I can’t be bothered. Hard pass on la medusa until this garbage is figured out.
