Detroit's Midtown Welcomes Medusa, the Latest Addition to the Neighborhood's Vibrant Dining Scene

Medusa, a new restaurant from acclaimed Italian eatery SheWolf Pastificio & Bar, has officially opened its doors in Detroit's iconic Midtown. Located at 664 Selden St., the establishment is situated just a stone's throw away from its sibling venture, offering a unique dining experience that showcases the rich flavors and traditions of Sicily and other Mediterranean cuisines.

When asked about his vision for Medusa, Chef Anthony Lombardo emphasized the importance of simplicity and authenticity in his culinary approach. "The food's simple: olive oil, capers, olives, tomatoes, anchovies," he revealed in a recent interview with Hour Detroit magazine. "We're going to tell the story of Sicily through our menu, through our service and our hospitality, and hopefully teach everyone about the uniqueness of this very special place."

Despite being part of a well-established dining group, Medusa brings a fresh perspective to the Midtown culinary scene. The restaurant's building has seen its fair share of failed concepts in recent years, but Lombardo's team is confident that their unique blend of flavors and atmosphere will attract a loyal following.

To avoid long wait times, reservations are highly recommended for this popular new spot. With Medusa now open for business, foodies and locals alike can look forward to experiencing the authentic taste of Sicily in the heart of Detroit's Midtown.
 
I don’t usually comment but I had to try out Medusa last weekend 🤤! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned Italian feast? And honestly, Chef Lombardo's got some serious skills under his belt. That first course, the "Arancini"... wow, it was like a party in my mouth 😋! I don’t usually order anchovies on my pasta but they added this... depth, you know? It’s been a while since I had a meal that left me wanting more. Medusa's definitely got its own vibe going on and I love how simple yet flavorful the food is 🍝👌
 
I'm loving this new addition to our amazing Midtown dining scene 🤩🍝! Chef Lombardo is all about keeping it real with his simple yet flavorful dishes that'll transport you straight to Sicily. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned pasta dish loaded with fresh veggies and olive oil? And the fact that they're going for authentic hospitality is just the cherry on top - can't wait to check out Medusa myself!
 
😊 I'm curious about how people will react to Medusa's unique dining experience! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned plate of pasta with olive oil, capers, and anchovies? 🍝 It's like my Nonna used to make back home! But seriously, it's great that the team is emphasizing simplicity and authenticity - sometimes less is more, right? ⏱️ I've been meaning to check out Midtown for ages, and now I have a legit reason to do so. The fact that Medusa has a sibling spot nearby is a bonus too! 👫 It'll be interesting to see how this new addition shakes up the dining scene in Detroit... 🤔
 
Just had lunch at a restaurant with such a cool vibe 🍴👌 but I gotta say, Medusa's concept sounds kinda wild - like they're taking all these traditional flavors and making them super simple... and honestly, that's kind of genius? Simplifying the menu and just letting the quality ingredients shine through? It's not for everyone, but if you're a foodie like me, it could be a total game-changer! 👍
 
just saw that medusa is opening up in detroit midtown 🤩 what's crazy is how they're trying to bring sicily's flavors to detroit - might be a game changer for the city's food scene, but i'm curious if it'll get lost amidst all the other amazing eats in midtown 🤔 do you guys think italian cuisine has what it takes to compete with the likes of emerald skye and el barrio?
 
omg u gotta try medusa!!! 😍 i mean its not just another italian restaurant its like a taste of sicily right in the middle of detroit! chef anthony lombardo is super passionate about his food and it shows on the menu olive oil, capers, olives, tomatoes, anchovies... sounds simple but trust me its so much more than that 🤩 i love how they're trying to share the story of sicily through their food service and hospitality too. and omg the vibe of the place is so cool! definitely adding it to my detroit food bucket list 💯🍴
 
OMG, Medusa is literally slaying the game with their menu 🍝💥 I mean who needs complicated food when you've got a solid olive oil and capers combo? It's like they're trying to make me rethink everything I thought I knew about Italian cuisine 😂 And I love how Chef Lombardo is all about keeping it simple and authentic, not some fancy-schmancy nonsense. The fact that they're part of the SheWolf group doesn't hurt either, those guys seem to know what they're doing 🤞 Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book a reservation ASAP because I need to try this out for myself ASAP 📅👍
 
You know what's crazy? This restaurant is like a prime example of how capitalism and entrepreneurship can really thrive in a city like Detroit 🤑🍴 I mean, it's not like they're just some fly-by-night operation that's gonna shut down after a few months... but more like, they've actually put thought into creating an experience that'll keep people coming back for more. And the fact that reservations are recommended? That's just good business sense, you know? It shows that Medusa is willing to invest in its customers and create a loyal following 🤝 But let's be real, it's also a reflection of the city's overall economic situation - Detroit needs all the job creation and revitalization it can get 💼🌆
 
Detroit's Midtown is always on the move 🔄 and I'm loving how Medusa just dropped like a fresh new gem 💎 into the neighborhood's dining scene! Chef Anthony Lombardo's focus on simplicity and authenticity has me super stoked - who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned Mediterranean feast? 🍴 From olive oil to anchovies, it sounds like they're keeping things real and true to their roots. I'm all for a restaurant that puts its own spin on the classics (hello, Sicily!). With Medusa now open for business, I'm low-key obsessed with trying it out ASAP 👀 and can't wait to see what this new addition brings to the table 🍴👍
 
I'm super stoked that Medusa is finally here, dude 🤩! I've been waiting for a solid Italian spot in Midtown for ages, and from what I've heard, Lombardo's team is bringing the real deal 👌. The fact that they're focusing on simplicity and authenticity is music to my ears - less is often more, right? 🎶 And I love how they're all about sharing the story of Sicily through their food and service... it sounds like a total game-changer for the neighborhood's dining scene 🤓. Can't wait to try it out and see if it lives up to the hype! 👍
 
omg 🤯 i love italian food and detroit is finally getting another awesome restaurant!! medusa sounds so cool with its simple menu like that chef dude said all they need is olive oil and capers to make amazing dishes lol. i'm down for trying it out but 664 selden st seems kinda hard to find if u r not familiar w the area 📍 gotta make sure i get reservations ASAP before everyone else does 👍
 
lol what's up with all the hype around this medusa restaurant? i mean dont get me wrong its a nice place and all but 12 bucks for a plate of spaghetti with some random toppings? that sounds like fast food to me!
and omg the building has seen failed concepts in the past? what did those guys do, tried to turn the whole block into one big rave party or something? anyway im curious about this medusa chick, does she have a snake hair problem or is it just a clever marketing gimmick?
anyway i might give it a shot if they have some good brunch options but only if its not too early in the morning lol
