Mama Melrose
one of our favorite meals
Here is what we had;
Mama's Antipasto for Two - selection of meats, cheeses, and marinated vegetables $14.99---very good, especially marinated mushrooms
Crispy Calamari for Two - topped with peppers and onions, served with a side of spicy marinara sauce $12.99---wonderful, tender and delicious. My mother doesn't eat that much, and would never have tried them if she knew what she was eating, but she really dug into this.
Clams Oreganatta - Oak-fired Clams cooked in Oregano Butter with Italian Sausage over Toasted Foccacia 10.99---My favorite of the appetizers-the BEST flavor, and I didn't think they were too greasy at all.
Charred Strip Steak
Italian Roasted Potatoes and Cipollini Onions, Aged Balsamic-Shallot Butter, and Chianti Wine Reduction 28.99--Extremely tender, cooked perfectly, and with a great flavor. My husband thought it was better than the fillet at Narcoossee's
Goat Cheese-filled Ravioli
Poached in an Herb-Tomato Broth served with a Sweet Onion-Balsamic Relish 16.99---this was just wonderful. The onion-balsamic relish really made this dish.
Chicken Pipette
Wood-grilled Chicken over Pipette Pasta tossed with Artichokes, Peas, Roasted Peppers, and Sweet Onions in a Basil Four-Cheese Cream Sauce 17.99---This was also very good, but more ordinary, and so the least favorite of our meals. But still good, and HUGE!
Mamas Tiramisù
Tiramisù-flavored Gelato over Freshly Brewed Espresso, topped with Amaretto Zabaglione and Ladyfingers 5.99--Not your traditional tiramisu, but after a big heavy meal, a perfect finish.
Chocolate Amarettini Cheesecake 5.49---just delicious
Crema Limone No Sugar Added Lemon Custard topped with
fresh Whipped Cream and Berries 6.99---good, but nothing special.
We had read mixed reviews of this place, and had not reserved it before for that very reason. Then, with 3 days left till our trip, a Fantasmic package opened up. I just thought that having that would make things less complicated timing-wise, so I booked it. And boy am I glad we did. I really have to say that I think it was our best meal of the trip. But oh soooo much food. Will definitely return.
More to come.
