La Medusa is a hidden gem in Columbia City that effortlessly marries comfort and flavor! 🌟 I enjoyed the handmade mafaldine pasta with braised beef shank, which was rich and satisfying. The arancini were crispy perfection, while the chocolate torte provided a delightful finish!

The cozy, rustic ambiance made for a lovely evening, and our server, Jackson, was attentive without being intrusive. Just a heads-up, reservations are recommended, as they get busy! Can't wait to return for another round of those delicious desserts... 🍰
