I always take negative reviews with a grain of salt. The only one I took to heart was Ohana for dinner. I canceled my ADR there in light of all the negative reviews it has been getting. I actually swapped it out for Mama Melrose. I have read plenty of good things about it and the food looks delish!
We ate there in Sept. 07 and we all loved it!
We had:
Artisan Breads and Spreads yummy!
Crispy Calamari
Four Cheese Flatbread
Oven Baked Chicken alla Parmesan
Spicy Italian Sausage
Tiramisu
Crema Limone
Warm Chocolate Truffle Cake
Everything was delicious! We were a little leery too because of the bad reviews. But, we took a chance and I'm so glad we did!
We ate there years ago and wasn't impressed. We tried it again last year (for Fantasmic package) and really enjoyed it. I know it gets blah reviews here, but I think they have improved...we are eating there again in January.
I ate there once a couple years ago and it was pretty good. I haven't gotten the chance to eat there again, but I would actually like to try it again. I've heard the food has actually improved so I'd say it's worth it to try it aleast.
Just ate there on 8/19 and really enjoyed it. Granted a warm, comfort meal after a day of Faye was really what we needed, but I think the pastas were great.
We ate there in December 07, during our X-mas trip. It was wonderful! Service was excellent, never felt rushed, or waited for drink refills. Our server even suggested I have a latte with my dessert, seeing as I had water to drink. (I don't think the additional $4.00 added much to his tip , so I am sure it was a friendly suggestion.) I had the Penne Alla Vodka, my hubby had the Charred Butcher Tender Steak, for appies we had the Tossed Italian Bread Salad, and the Mozarella and Tomatoes, dessert was a little disappointment, only becasue they didn't have the Crema Limon, that I was dying try, but I made do with the Honey Hazelnut Cheescake, and my hubby had the Warm Chocolate Truffle cake. Kids all had pizza, and ate every bite! A very enjoyable expereince for us! You should try it!!
We ate at Mama Melrose a couple of weeks ago and thought it was one of the better meals we have had at Disney. My husband and I both got chicken parm and thought it was very good. I will definately go back again.
We ate @ MM as part of a Fantasmic Dinner package (12/2007) and really enjoyed it. We had a big party (12+) and we were all able to set at the same table (combined several 4 tops). It is not the best Italian food I have ever had but I would definitely go back.
I enjoyed my meal at Mama Ms. We wouldnt hesitate to go back. One thing that may have irked me a little... They don't serve bread (Ive never heard of this at an italian restaurant... Its like crispy noodles when I go out for chineese IMO) We were on the DDP that trip, so I just ordered it as my ap, and it was really nice IMO, I just wish there had been some garlic rools or a basket of breadsticks instead (that ap of breads and spreads *flew* off my table. I think if you like Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill etc...you'll be fine here.
