The Medici Restaurant: Authentic Mediterranean Dining Experience Awaits

This is a solid place!! nice ambiance to the place, busy but not too packed. the service was great, food took a bit to come out but that's expected and not a problem at all. Food was good, but portions were a bit small for the price. I got the chorizo BLAT and greatly enjoyed it and the truffle fries were soooo good and salty.

For starters.... The history of the making of this restaurant is fascinating! Beautiful woodwork throughout the interior! I had Tammy as a server...Fantastic! She recommended the beef stroganoff, which did not disappoint me at all! It has a combination of rich buttermilk and smooth sour cream for the base, smothering tender cuts of beef and chunks of mushrooms on a bed of egg noodles to combine a delicious flavorful dish! Complimented by the garlic toast, of course! The espresso was rich and full flavor! This place is sure to meet your expectations!

Had reservations here for lunch on valentines day with my husband. Ghe jalapeño popper dip was good. The soup was good. (red pepper something?) I got the bbq brisket that comes on top of mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts - very good. We have had the orange creme brulee before and loved it. No dessert this time. We have been herefor his work christmas dinner and it's always great. We have never seen swordfish on a menu before so he decided to try it. It was tough and lacked flavor, unfortunately, so won't be getting that again. Other than that, it was a great choice for valentines day.

This place is so good! My friends and I came here once and liked it so much we came back. First night was for dinner. We all loved our drinks, entrees, and dessert. The mule and mai tai were particular favorites. My scallops were to die for and everything about that dish was perfect. The stroganoff was stroganoff but it was good. The creme brûlée was the fave of the desserts. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were both good, just nothing out of the ordinary. We came back for brunch and mimosas were good. I got the seafood lasagna and it was so good and my leftover reheated really well. The vodka sauce was great and the seafood was plentiful. My friends French toast was very good, tho our waitress recommended having it brought out immediately because she said it's the best if it's fresh. Other foods were breakfast pizza, breakfast skillet, and chicken chilaquiles and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Staff was always great. Our waitress the first night especially was awesome and I wished I remembered her name to mentioned her by name. I will come here for sure if I'm ever in the area again. Pics are our drinks (espresso martini, Nick's bourbon vacation, pomegranate mai tai, and American mule), seared scallops, stroganoff, gouda Mac and cheese, salmon brûlée, creme brûlée, flourless chocolate cake, cheesecake, French toast, seafood lasagna, breakfast skillet.

Food was incredible but alittle expensive for the area . Not trying to be mean but the lady manager was pretty dismissive when I was trying to collect my order at the bar. Pizza wasn’t with my food and had to drive back to get it. They blamed me and said it was next to my stuff. It was not. All that being said I still recommend this place just maybe the management tries a little harder to be nice to new patrons.

I have been to Medici numerous times and it never disappoints! During my most recent visit, I ordered the roasted red pepper cheese ravioli and it was divine. The drunken brussel sprouts appetizer was also a favorite, and the espresso martini was delicious.

Excellent service, excellent food, we’ll be back! Pictured here is brisket jalapeño popper appetizer, beef brisket entree with mashed potatoes and green beans, and the great salmon and risotto entree. All was absolutely delicious! Great service as well!

Medici in Normal, IL is a fantastic early dinner spot! I hadn't visited in a few years, but the food and service were just as exceptional as I remembered. I ordered the Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos—a dark horse on the menu that has always impressed—and this visit was no exception. My wife tried the Salmon Brûlée, which was delightfully creamy and decadent, and the sweet potato tots we shared were an outstanding appetizer. Highly recommended!
