Overview
Mama Melrose Ristorante Italiano is one of the best places to get Italian food in all of Walt Disney World. Located in a tucked away corner of Disney’s Hollywood Studios near Muppet*Vision 3D, guests will enjoy the more relaxed feel of this dining location. It is a sit down meal with excellent service that will have you in and out as quickly as you can eat your delicious food.
Although it is a sit down meal, it is more casual so guests will find that families are the majority of the diners here. It has great options for kids, and really anyone who enjoys classics like spaghetti and pizza. If you have food allergies, Mama Melrose and their staff can accommodate a large variety of allergens, even gluten free pasta and pizza!
Our gluten free meal from Mama Melrose is below, and let’s just say it was even more delicious than it looks.
The meat sauce that comes with the pasta is absolutely delicious and bright tasting. The flatbread was cooked perfectly and all of the different meat toppings were well balanced on the pizza. Last but not least the flourless chocolate cake was so decadent and rich. The only complaint there is we didn’t order ice cream to go with it.
In addition to the extensive food items on the menu, Mama Melrose also has a large drink menu that features any kind of flavor you can think of. Whether that be a non alcoholic mocktail, fine wine, or a mixed frozen drink, they have you covered!
Mama Melrose Ristorante Italiano was an absolute joy to dine. Quick service, a nice air conditioned space, delicious food, what more could you need? Be sure to book a reservation here on your next trip into Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
