Angela was a fantastic server. Quick and very attentive. She knew how to keep our large party on track. Food was excellent - so sad they’re closing. :(

Nice restaurant, wonderful staff. The appetizers are pretty good, main dishes are just okay. It def isn’t the best quality of food. If you want to sit relax and take a load off it makes sense, but you can also just grab pizza next door. To each is own but not worth the wait we had even with reservations

Ive dined at almost all table service at Disney both Orlando and LA and this was the least satisfying experience. Service is usually good to beyond but today was barely ok. Just as was the food. Asked for parmesan and pepper, never got it. Service seemed tired. Would not go again and since its being replaced for Monster land wont miss it.

Mama Melrose was one of the standout experiences during our last visit to Disney! Having dined at various restaurants in Disney's Hollywood Studios, I can confidently say this is the best option in the park so far—or perhaps we just ordered the right dishes!

The Burrata Salad, Pizza Margherita, and Mama’s Pasta with Shrimp were all absolutely delicious. Each dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The Tiramisu was a perfect finish—light and creamy with just the right balance of sweetness and rich coffee flavor.

Our server, Veronica, was fantastic! She provided thoughtful recommendations for food and drinks, and her attentive service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we left very satisfied and ready to return on our next trip!

We had an exceptional dinner here. We are so glad to go here before this ristorante closes for good on May 10th 2025. If you can make it to Disney's hollywood studios and are fortunate enough to get a reservation here, i highly encourage it. We had garlic bread appetizers, chicken parmesian, a nice bottle of wine, dessert for around $130. Our server, Grant, was very good at seeing to our needs. He made us feel special. We had a great time.

Service started out excellent. When my gluten-free spaghetti bolognese came out, the sauce was visibly BONE DRY/dark brown. I asked for more sauce, which was normal/not dried out, but remarked to the server that it was dry, except where I added the sauce. When she asked if I wanted to take it with me, I said no thank you and said, “it was actually very dry, except for the extra sauce you brought—that was not dry.” I didn’t ask for/expect money back, especially because I ate some of it. She quickly responded, “The gluten free is made fresh,” and barely said another word/was borderline rude. There are much better places to eat at Disney.

Had a reservation just after opening. Food came out super fast. Fried mozzarella breading was a little salty for my taste. Recommend the rigatoni bolgnese!

Mama Melrose is an Italian restaurant located near the heart of Muppets Courtyard in Disney's Hollywood Studios. However, It is soon to be shutting down due to the recent park redevelopment into Monsters Courtyard.

The service was good. It has its Disney charm, with friendly staff, quick service, and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

The food was alright. For the price it has decent portions and tastes good, though its not the best quality or best dish you can get in the park. The caesar salad was good, a bit small but tasted good. The other dishes were alright, cooked well and had good flavor.

Excellent Disney Restaurant today! Finally. Woohoo. Loved this place so much. Great service and amazing food! Thank you. Gluten free penne pasta was also cooked perfectly and that can be challenging. Garlic Bread was awesome and so was the Cesear Salad. Pasta entrees and big enough for two people in my opinion.

We decided to have our Valentines Day dinner here for a fun night in the park. The food was quite good better than expected and the atmosphere was nice at first. Our server Sadi wasn't that attentive. Our meal came before our bread service so I politely asked if there was one, she explained yes that sometimes kitchen was faster than her which thats fine. What wasn't ok was seeing her with the other servers at the hostess stand laughing and giving dirty looks to the customers. It made for a very uncomfortable meal. They know we saw them too because after that they wouldn't even check on us to see how our meal was. Take your business to Brown Derby where they know how to treat customers and get tipped appropriately because of this.

Glad this place is closing. At a family we have eaten there 3 times. First two service was horrible, today it was amazing. However my rigatoni Bolognese was saltier than the popcorn. Just not edible. Asked if I could get a margarita pizza as replacement and was told the kitchen is backed up and it would take too long to get the pizza. My dad’s food was warm at best, they also admitted they burned my nieces pizza at first and that’s why it was taking so long for all of our meals to come out.
Like I said, some places just need to close.
