We really enjoy Mama Melrose....Hollywood and Vine, not so much. We have eaten at Mama Melrose twice and both times it hasn't disappointed us. As for Hollywood and Vine the food was not good, the service was really slow, and there were dirty tables around us and food all over the floor. We were not impressed by it at all. If your family likes Italian style food, then I would definitely go with Mama over H&V.
