We waited just 15 minute and he felt bad that he even gave us each a glass of wine! Now on to the food. This place serves southern style Italian seafood. We started with the mix of fritto misto which was calamari, shrimp, and anchovies. It was so lightly fried but so crunchy and the flavor of the seafood really came through. Delicious! Our server also recommended 2 dishes and I simply cannot remember the name of. One was a tuna type fish that was a whole filet.. Its a bit oilier for my liking but my husband raved about it. My white fish was cooked with bread crumbs and tomatoes. It was light. Loved it! This is a local joint. Our taxi driver knew about it and said it was a local favorite. It's a great restaurant kind of on the homey side with really nice people serving really good food. Thumbs up!

He helped us pick our dishes and even spoke a little English which was nice. I ordered the pasta Bolognese and my hubby ordered the chicken and potatoes. Both were so good he said it was one of the best dishes he has had yet on our travels so that was so awesome. If you haven't gone here you should check it out! We didn't order dessert but they looked amazing! Oh and the cheese plate looked incredible to. I don't think you can go wrong here! 5 stars

Since I don't know any Italian language they were able to talk to me about the manual and show me All the signature dish also they were very upscale in the fact that the pasta that the cook is very delicious and I really want more of the sauce! I ordered a steak and pizza in a pasta. The steak was cool half way a little. But they serve you with a hot plate and put the steak on. it's like a Tapayaki. The pizza is so delicious since its oven cooked. Pasta was so yummy. The sauce is a creamy sauce with cashews crust. Overall quality is good. Love to go there again!

So much care taken and attention to detail in preparing and presenting high quality food! Kudos to…read morethe folks who run this place ... Great experience! Ordered Gnocchi and a glass of red (Funsu .. local Nebbiolo) recommended by the owner. She went over the menu and explained the subtleties. She's a rare restaurateur who views food as an art more than business. Prices are not over the top. Highly recommend!! Must visit in Turino.. I'm definitely coming back on my next trip!

Antipasti were amazing, great portions, the delicate balance of accompanying the seafood and not overpowering it was perfectly executed. The house white wine was crisp, slightly effervescent, and the perfect accompaniment to the seafood dishes we selected. I think my pics speak for themselves.....northern Italy is on the map of seafood culinary experience @ la medusa. The staff was gracious and so accommodating!!!! When in Torino stop @ la medusa it's one of my favorites!

First of all, the restaurant was getting ready to shut down its outdoor lunch trade for the winter and the owner opened just for us: That's what I call service! The seating was literally six inches from the river; little ducks were very attentive to make sure that nothing fell off our plates into the water. The food is regional Piedmontese which is very different from what most people think of when they think "Italian." They offer an antipasti buffet which is outstanding! The house white wine was a Spumante (a dry sparkling wine) and we left feeling no pain! The prices were very reasonable.
