New Italian Restaurant Medusa Opens in Detroit's Midtown, Bringing Sicilian Flavors to the City
Chef Anthony Lombardo has added another gem to his culinary empire with the grand opening of Medusa, a new Italian restaurant in Detroit's trendy Midtown neighborhood. Located at 664 Selden St., just down the street from his acclaimed SheWolf Pastificio & Bar, Medusa promises to transport diners on a culinary journey through the cuisine of Sicily and other Mediterranean flavors.
According to Lombardo, the menu at Medusa is intentionally simple yet thoughtful, featuring classic ingredients such as olive oil, capers, olives, tomatoes, and anchovies. However, it's the storytelling behind each dish that sets Medusa apart from your average Italian eatery. "We're going to tell the story of Sicily through our menu, through our service and our hospitality," Lombardo explained in an interview with Hour Detroit magazine last year. "We want to teach everyone about the uniqueness of this very special place."
Medusa's Midtown location marks a new chapter for Lombardo, who has already proven himself as a restaurateur with SheWolf Pastificio & Bar. While the building has seen its fair share of failed restaurant concepts in recent years, Lombardo is confident that Medusa will be the one to stick.
To ensure a great dining experience, reservations are highly recommended at medusa-detroit.com. With its focus on authentic Sicilian flavors and warm hospitality, Medusa is sure to become a must-visit destination for foodies in Detroit's Midtown neighborhood.

just heard about this new Italian spot in Midtown and I'm DYING 
to try it out! Chef Anthony Lombardo's got a good vibe going on with the whole 'tellin' the story of Sicily through food' thing - I mean, who doesn't love a good cultural experience with their pasta? 
The menu sounds super simple but in a good way, you know? Like, less is more sometimes. And I'm all about those authentic flavors 
. I've been to Detroit's Midtown before and it's always poppin' so I'm not surprised Medusa is gonna be a hit! 
Booked my table already at medusa-detroit.com - see you there! 
, gotta say their eggplant parmesan was fire 
also i love how they incorporated so much history and culture into the menu, it's like eating a story 
i'm not a big italian food person but the chef's story about taking diners on a journey through sicily sounds pretty cool 
anyone else think of trying it out? 
another new restaurant opens... people will just go there to be disappointed by the hype 
detroit has enough good italian places already what's next? 
mark my words, medusa will be just another failed concept in midtown
Chef Anthony Lombardo is literally bringing the real deal Sicilian flavors to our city , which I've been craving for ages . The menu sounds super simple yet thoughtful , with a focus on classic ingredients like olive oil , capers , olives , and tomatoes . What's even more cool is the storytelling behind each dish - Lombardo wants to take us on a culinary journey through Sicily , sharing its uniqueness & history with us .
. And don't even get me started on the service, so warm and inviting! The atmosphere is cozy too, feels like you're dining with Nonna herself 
. Definitely adding Medusa to my go-to list for a delicious Italian meal. Reservations are a must tho, it's already getting pretty busy 
!
Anyway, with the current state of zoning laws & rising rents in Midtown, it's refreshing to see someone investing in the community like this. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Medusa will be a sustainable success story for our city!
