Mama Melrose's Resorante Italiano in Hollywood Studios, Orlando FL

This is such a lovely restaurant - almost hidden inside Hollywood Studios. I actually learned about it  because I accidentally stumbled upon it while leaving Galaxy's Edge. You do need reservations to eat here so I made sure to book it    for the trip after, and it    was well worth it !

This restaurant is located right next to the Muppet Vision 3D ride. The dim lighting makes for a really romantic setting, but it    also gives off a real home-like feeling. We were seated quickly with our reservations. The food came in a timely manner and our servers met the Disney standard.

We started off with a Calamari Appetizer & the bread. It was super yummy! I will mention it's a little spicy but I'm actually sensitive to spice and I thought it was great. The bread was typical Italian bread & oil. Hubby ordered a well-done steak and mashed potatoes. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs back before I was a vegetarian. I remember it being good, a classic.

Funny enough, they brought hubby's steak rare, and I thought he was going to have a heart attack. As an avid steak eater, the man knows how he likes his steak. He took a bite of it anyway and ended up loving it  . It was the most shocking thing I had ever witnessed in a Disney restaurant. He actually gave the chef props because he would have NEVER ate rare meat otherwise. ​

For dessert, we had a cherry chocolate tart & some vanilla gelato. It was incredible! The pricing of this restaurant isn't too bad either. (We do have a tables of wonderland card which gives us 20% off)
Overall I would definitely come back.
