We warmly invite you to join us on Valentine's Day for an evening to kindle the flames of romance as we celebrate cherished bonds. Make nostalgic memories while our thoughtfully composed dishes evoke the tastes, sounds, and colors of a romantic getaway for two.

Appetizers to Ignite the Romance

Valentine's Day at Meduza Mediterrania offers a unique beginning with its appetizer selection. Couples can choose between half-shell oysters, enhancing the moment with a hint of the ocean, or spiced hamachi, a delicate blend of citrus and herbs. Each choice is designed to complement the shared experience, setting a tone of discovery and connection.

The menu extends to include finely chopped kale, a fresh contrast with its touch of garlic and lemon, and spiced prawns that bring a gentle heat. These dishes, carefully prepared with Mediterranean flair, promise to engage the senses and enrich the evening's ambiance.

Entrées: A Symphony of Flavors:

Next, the entrée array at Meduza Mediterrania beckons couples with dishes that promise a feast not just for the palate but for the soul. The grilled branzino, with its subtle char and herbaceous lift, mirrors the freshness of a new relationship, vibrant and full of discovery.

Meanwhile, the black truffle cacio e pepe offers a depth of flavor that's as complex and rewarding as a long-term bond, with each forkful strengthening the ties that bind.

The chicken milanese, crisp on the outside and tender within, served alongside a lively salad, and the lobster arrabbiata, with its bold spice, cater to those who seek both comfort and adventure in their culinary choices.

Opting for the ribeye top cap introduces a decadent note, its robust flavors and tender texture swathed in red wine jus and garlic confit, reminiscent of a love that deepens and enriches over time.

Perfect Pairings: Sides to Complement

The side dishes at Meduza Mediterrania are the unsung heroes that complete the dining experience, much like the perfect supporting cast to a blockbuster romance.

Crispy brussels sprouts come glazed in honey-soy balsamic, with toasted almonds adding a crunch that's the ideal complement to the delicate flavors of the grilled branzino or the deep savoriness of the petite filet—think of them as the Jack to your Rose, offering steadfast support and enhancing the journey.

The baby spinach, lightly dressed with roasted garlic and EVOO, and the smooth lemon pomme purée, pair with entrees in a way that’s harmonious and unexpectedly perfect, bringing out the best in every bite of chicken milanese or black truffle cacio e pepe.

And for a touch of heat, batata harra brings parsley, garlic, and Calabrian chili into the mix, spicing things up like a classic love-hate romance that always ends in harmony. These sides accompany your meal and enrich it, making each entree and appetizer combination a narrative worth savoring, with Cupid's arrow striking the perfect balance of flavors.

Sweet Endings: Decadent Desserts:

As the evening at Meduza Mediterrania draws to a close, our dessert offerings stand ready to enchant and delight. The olive oil cake, with its moist crumb infused with the zest of orange and the warmth of cardamom, promises a tender farewell, like a gentle kiss goodbye under the starlit New York sky.

Then, there’s the wild berry butter cake (pictured), a harmony of textures and flavors with its feuilletine crumble and a dollop of vanilla ice cream, offering a moment of pure bliss. And for those seeking a refreshing end, our sorbet - in either lemon or raspberry - provides a crisp, clean taste that gently concludes your Valentine's Day feast, leaving you and your loved one with a taste of sweet memories made and shared.
