"La Medusa is a terrific Columbia City date spot. It’s a dimly-lit, romantic Italian restaurant that specializes in Sicilian dishes like fried risotto balls, garlicky kale and raisins sauteed in olive oil with anchovy, and a bunch of handmade pastas that rotate often. One of the best we’ve had was mezzi rigatoni with lamb sausage in a parmesan broth, but you also can’t go wrong with their spaghetti marinara and a meatball (which is always on the menu)." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
