The Daily Bite: La Medusa



La Medusa in Columbia City was amazing. The subtle blend of flavors was extraordinary and delicious.

Burrata is an italian cheese made from mozzarella and fresh cream with a unique flavor and soft texture. 

Saffron is the most expensive spice, as it is the tiny little rust colored bits you see in the flowers above. They all have to be plucked by hand! Crazy, but delicious.

For appetizers we enjoyed the Saffron Risotto Croquettes and Burrata salad. I then ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, which was the best spaghetti and meatballs I have ever had. Seriously, I think I may have cried a little. It was so beautiful.

The Spaghetti and Meatballs was actually featured in Seattle Magazine:
"Making the simple taste sublime is a trick best left to the pros—and the grandmas. The chefs at Columbia City’s La Medusa are the former, but this dish—with supple meatballs perched alongside al dente spaghetti dressed in a satisfying, bright, herby tomato sauce—proves there’s some grandma in there somewhere, too".
