La Medusa is an intimate Italian restaurant that serves fresh, homemade pasta dishes inspired by the chef’s grandmother's recipes. The service is exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who make guests feel comfortable and welcome. The atmosphere is warm and homey, creating a cozy spot for a nice dinner. The menu features a rotating selection on a chalkboard, which can be hard to read from a distance. It includes a variety of starters and four pasta entrees, with a meat entree option that may not always be available. Half of the pastas are vegetarian, and many appetizers also cater to vegetarian diets. The pasta dishes are made with seasonal, simple ingredients and are well-balanced, offering multiple layers of flavor in fair-sized portions. Guests have praised everything from the food to the service, noting that the Olive Oil Cake with lemon curd is a standout dessert. The food is fresh and thoughtfully prepared, making it perfect for family-style dining. La Medusa has a snug and intimate interior that is great for people watching, especially from a window seat. Overall, it is a fantastic choice for Italian food in Columbia City, ideal for date nights or casual family meals.
