Medici in Normal

I photograph weddings throughout Illinois (Ernst Jacobsen Photography) and have photographed several weddings at Medici in Normal. It's a GREAT option if you're looking for a cozy, intimate venue for small to mid-size weddings in Uptown Normal. The upstairs portion of Medici is typically reserved for the wedding. The indoor portion is typically setup for cocktails and dinner while the adorable, open air patio is perfect for reception festivities from toasts to dancing. Plus, it's just steps from the both the Hyatt and Marriott hotels. Highly recommend!

Delicious food! We have eaten here three times now! They get you seated quickly with quick service on the food! My husband loved his wedge salad with grilled chicken. The kids shared a pizza that they both liked. I didn’t try any of it but my husband said it was good. They did half cheese and pepperoni. I had the chicken sandwich with sweet potato tots! I get the same thing every time I visit Medici. The tree in the middle of the restaurant is pretty cool! I also think the sinks in the bathroom are kinda fun!

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.

This was our first time to Medici. Our Salmon Brulee was very good. Brussel sprouts were amazing! The portions were great for the price. The staff were very friendly. Very helpful with beer selections and suggestions for my husband.

The chorizo BLAT, beef brisket, and jambalaya were all delicious and the portions were generous. They were able to seat our whole extended family party of 12 people without any problem. The servers were very nice and accommodating. I asked for a side salad instead of the fries, fruit, or green beans and they were able to do that with no problem.
