Chef Anthony Lombardo, co-owner of Detroit’s acclaimed Italian restaurant SheWolf Pastificio & Bar, opened a new restaurant in the city.
Medusa opened Thursday at 664 Selden St. in Detroit’s Midtown, just down the street from SheWolf, with a focus on the cuisine of Sicily and other flavors from the Mediterranean.
“The food’s simple: olive oil, capers, olives, tomatoes, anchovies,” Lombardo told Hour Detroit magazine last year. “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.”
The building has seen a number of restaurant concepts try their hand at making a go of the space in recent years, including Smith & Co., Vigilante Kitchen + Bar, and Epiphany — Nain Rouge Kitchen.
