Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano | Our Farewell Dinner in Disney's Hollywood Studios...or is it?

It's our last day in Walt Disney World, and we decide to have our farewell dinner in Hollywood Studios at Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano. But do the looming clouds in the sky, and the first bit of rainfall, have other plans for our Disney trip?

My husband and I are Italians from NJ and we LOVE Mama Melrose's! We normally don't order traditional Italian items lol but WE LOVE the Charred Strip Steak!!! For us, it is a must restaurant. Not sure why they get bad reviews, my large family and I have always been happy with our wine and meals.

[@Mangomartinisful]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again... you have the best Disney reviews! I also appreciate the variety of restaurants you’ve been reviewing this trip, so many places I probably would’ve passed but definitely interested now. Thank you again for your hard work!

[@TheMagicDads]

Thank you so much, we really appreciate that!!!

[@deniseblackburn33]

I love wachting you guys

[@conniecrawford5231]

I like when Caleb puts puppy in Steve’s arm and Steve just keeps talking!

[@daisycocoa2557]

Love mama melrose. Never had a bad meal there. Just be ready to be very full!

[@Cherryblossom_2000]

My fave Disney vloggers! 🥰

[@TheMagicDads]

Awww thank you!!

[@ebinsuncle]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments

[@disneyee7643]

Sad to leave, but happy for the next round of Disney greatness!

[@hadleystrainge]

Mama Melrose's is a hidden gem in Disney! even as an adult I'm a picky eater and this place is perfect for me. classic Italian food is always a good option. love you guys!

[@luanncorbin8652]

Just came back from Disney on Fathers Day. I love Mama Melrose. Never been disappointed. Thanks. Good comments. I was afraid you would not approve.

[@darrenkwalsh]

Another great video!

[@robynellen859]

I am with Caleb thumbs up for a great video as always. Ten days at Disney so amazing !

[@angelafrench3640]

Just found y’all!! Loving all your Disney vlogs. I’ve been binge watching for two days. Hope to see a Disney Cruise video in the future !!! Thank you for all the detail and work you put into your videos. It shows!!! Hugs from this southern girl ♥️

[@sandypandys]

my family enjoyed mama melrose i had the same as steve the shrimp campanelle and the flat bread there can compete against the california grill pizza

[@joealberti8553]

Been watching your videos for a while now, and I have to say I love them. One thing that disappoints me about most italian restaurants is they don't have Risotto on the menu, which I absolutely love. My Nona taught me how to make it when I was 9 years old, so at least I know I can get a fix when I need it. Looking forward to your next video.

[@lynnejohnston1925]

Love your videos 🇨🇦🥰🇨🇦

[@carolinechristiansentravel]

Love how you spread all of these out!!! We love you guys!!! 💕☀️😘⭐️

[@marathongirllll]

Caleb is sooo adorable. I wish my kid had half the manners. LOL! Btw, I love how you sacrifice eating all these great meals for my enjoyment. Totally appreciated.

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Hi. Love love love your channel, you both give honest reviews of the places you dine at and make it so interesting too. Your son is so adorable, my Mom who is 90 yrs old thinks he is so cute! I look forward to your upcoming vlogs, thanks!

[@rcbuckets]

Not related to this video but thanks for doing the Ohana chicken wings video. It was very helpful when I made the recipe today.

[@brodieellis2545]

So true of Disney the last couple days of eating all you want is a stalk of celery!!!!!

[@r.schmalzried7315]

Agree 100% with Steve, if I am having a mixed drink, I want to taste that spirit up front.

[@kimteixeira6946]

He is so adorable!!Love your videos

[@bevdemshuk576]

Awesome video, as always !! Keep up the good work !!!

[@TheMagicDads]

Thanks! Will do!

[@marshamason3295]

Always excited to see a Magic Dads video pop up!!! Would love to see some updated Disneyland restaurant reviews now that it is open....we are going in October. Will you be going there anytime soon? 😉

[@ktancrelle7312]

Glad you liked it. I’ve always liked Mama Melrose’s. Didn’t know the back story so thank you!

[@laurenh9626]

Started watching you guys with the Disney recipes : ) would love to see some more when you get home! Hope you all had a magical time!!!

[@TheMagicDads]

We've been getting this request a lot lately, definitely looking into it :) Thank you so much!!

[@thefoodvikings9411]

Love every vid you two post. Best wishes!

[@TheMagicDads]

Thank you! You too!

[@deniseblackburn33]

Thankyou

[@christine3507]

Mama Melrose is one of those spots I’ve always dismissed and you definitely have me rethinking that. The chicken parm looks delish! Caleb & his puppy are so cute.

[@NcTheory]

Great video guys!

[@TheMagicDads]

Thanks so much!

[@jameswalde]

Looks like it was a wonderful vacation! Thanks again for all the work you put into these. Yes - we enjoy the home vlogs with cooking and cocktail tips.

[@daphneandoliviam6331]

Great video. We had a bad experience at Mama Melrose. Their pasta reminded me of Tony's in MK. We returned two of our meals. Maybe we will try again.

[@emtwomen56]

We have always loved Mama Melrose . We try to go there every time we are in Disney . Not sure there were so many negative reviews in the past , but we’ve always had a good solid Italian meal there . Love watching your food review vlogs ❤️

[@Jennifer-ji3qp]

We have a trip planned for next month & I’m happy to see so many of y’all’s reviews on places I’d like to try! Love love LOOOOOOVE your channel!! I came across it by chance a couple of months ago & I’m hooked! Y’all are such a great little family & so entertaining! 😂 I will be on the lookout for you guys in the parks on our future trips!

[@stephaniesamiel5820]

such a great vid. We too were debating going to Mama Melrose due to reviews. Now we know to go our next trip:).. the food looked great. Steves face after Mike says" we ve been eating lighter the past few days was hysterical.lol Truly love your all your vids.. Disney and home vlogs.. Thank you for always providing such great info and vids. You guys are the best.

[@lindaboston9046]

Once again, a great video! Your right it is a great family restaurant! Been there a few times,the bread was really good but the waitress looked at me weird when I asked for butter instead of the dipping in the olive oil thing. Food was excellent, I know because I'm Sicilian🤗 (you guys are such great parent!) Thanks again for this video!❤️

[@TheMagicDads]

Thank you so much!!! We love dipping in olive oil but nothing beats butter hahaha.

[@lexmelinda]

Thanks for the great review. Haven't eaten at MM since circa 2006 with the Fantasmic dining package. I'm totally plant-based at home but lean more non-dairy pescatarian on vacation. I'd love to see you guys review some of the plant based options if you're willing. We also rarely eat a full dinner but wander into the signature lounges and eat off the menus there when we're on property. I'd love to see some reviews of the lounge menus. Thanks so much for taking us along on your trip!

[@vickycooke2598]

Another great review thanks. I'd never really considered this one as it gets a bad rep. But it seems a family friendly and classic Italian!

[@TheMagicDads]

Totally agree, we were very pleasantly surprised :) Thanks!!

[@oneshyofadozen]

Just subscribed to your Chanel. Loving your reviews ! Xoxo

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hay guys just posted our review and we pretty much said the exact same thing. Of our meal. Enjoy your channel. Hope our travels cross the next time your in Florida....

[@Rachel-xu4br]

Great review as usual! Give yourself a little more credit on your recommendation for calamari! The most important thing is it being tender, as it's inedible if it's the chewy consistency (when it's overcooked). I feel it's one of the most important things to cook correctly, as I feel people who are scared to try seafood, especially calamari will not want to try it again if they have a bad experience. I've had a few conversations where people believed that calamari was intended to have a chewy consistency and that's why they hated it.

[@TheMagicDads]

Totally agree!! Nothing worse than chewy calamari, or any kind of off-putting texture when it comes to seafood. Thanks for watching!!

[@NoBSEateries]

The drinks look fantastic! I’d probably order the chicken parm. Definitely my go to. I love how Caleb is willing to try things even if he trolls you 😂-S

[@TheMagicDads]

It was so good, definitely recommend it! Thanks for watching!!

[@deniseblackburn33]

Yummy 😋

[@daringpopcorn6438]

[@TheMagicDads]

Yaaasss!!

[@andreslucas5401]

At first, my best regards from Spain. My family and me will go to that Park next July and I was searching restaurants; do you think that is acceptable for childs?? They are between 12 and 14 years old. Thanks so much and I apologize my bad english
