Medusa operates from unit B1-22 in the South Beach Avenue complex at 26 Beach Road, Singapore 189768 (SevenRooms). The address places it within the same hotel-and-retail development as the JW Marriott South Beach (Confirm Good (independent food blog)). B1-22 is the lower-level unit inside the South Beach Avenue retail podium.

Why it matters

The hotel-adjacent setting makes Medusa a practical pre-theatre or staycation dinner, but it also raises expectations.

What is on the menu at Medusa Italian Osteria Romana?

HungryGoWhere, covering the launch, counted around 40 dishes on the menu (HungryGoWhere). Eatbook’s launch report zeroed in on the pizza Romana and pinsa Romana as the price anchors (Eatbook).

The upshot

The weekday lunch set is the cheapest on-ramp to the Roman menu: two or three courses plus a drink, bundled at a mid-range price.

What this means: the menu is genuinely Roman, but the prices are Singapore mid-range — you’re paying for the Roman niche and the hotel-adjacent room, not for a cheap Italian feed.
