Mama Melrose's
 

Mama Melrose's is a table service restaurant located in the Disney-MGM Studios near the Muppet Courtyard. This is a wonderful establishment with delicious food and fabulous service.

Themed as a California-based Italian restaurant, the decor is supposed to look as though a somewhat eccentric California resident of Italian heritage used what was available to her to decorate the place. The interior is cool with somewhat dim "mood" lighting, with wooden floors and tables, brick walls, and friendly, curtained dividers in the dining area. It's a very comfortable atmosphere, equally appropriate for a family meal or a romantic dinner.

The food is fabulous here! There are plenty of flatbread pizzas from the wood-fired oven, along with pasta dishes sure to please even the more discriminating palette. A nice assortment of signature cocktails are available as well.

In the past, Streetmosphere characters would appear from time to time in the dining room. Louie was frequently seen talking to the Guests here. We haven't seen any of this lately, though it can be hit or miss as to whether you'll meet anyone here--hopefully it's still going on! In fact, the first time Aronda dined here was back in the summer of 1998. She was on the Backstage Magic tour, and this was the lunch venue. Louie and Constance Payne came out to entertain the group during the lunch, then boarded the bus with the tour participants to talk about the Streetmosphere concept. Since then, Aronda has dined here at least a dozen times--she loves the place, and we bet you will too!

Mama Melrose's honors the Disney Dining Experience card, so be sure to show yours if you have one to save 20% off your bill (before gratuity).

One of several really good restaurants at Disney-MGM Studios, Mama Melrose's is a can't miss if you like Italian food, or if you're just looking for a new and interesting restaurant to try out. You owe it to yourself to try Mama Melrose's on your next visit to the Studios!
