What's Your Favorite Food At Mama Melrose's ?

[maryj11]

We will be eating here for our Fantasmic dinner package and we have never eaten here before. What do you recommend as something that you thought was really good ?

 

[Corinne]

We dine at MM's on each visit. One son always orders the chicken parm, the other loves the penne alla vodka, dh always orders something different, and I adore the minestrone soup.

Oh I forgot we will be using the disney dining plan so what would be a good entree and dessert ?

Fantasmic Package includes an entree and dessert. My son and I shared the calamari which was better than I expected. My wife had the mixed greens salad which was very good too. For dessert I liked the cheesecake though no one else in my family likes the amaretto flavoring. My wife was not thrilled with the canolli filling chocolate cake.

For entrees we had the strip steak, pork chop and carne d'italia flatbread (meat lovers pizza). All were pretty good. I prefer my pork chop cut a little thicker but you taste the oak fire which was a nice addition.

They all sound good to me I think steak is my favorite

One of my favorite meals last trip!! Mixed Greens salad, chicken parmesan and chocolate cannoli cake. I was nervous about the cake because it came with a red wine sauce - I don't like wine, plus I thought that sounded weird. But OMG, it was soooooo good!!!

I really enjoyed my shrimp and arugula flatbread!

What is the calamari ?

Calamari is squid, cut small and usually fried. We didn't try it at Mama Melrose, but love it when it is well done.

I've always really liked the flatbreads there.

I remember reading some where that the flatbreads were really good

 

[jimmytammy]

Sounds really boring but the flatbreads and spaghetti are my faves. Spaghetti isnt listed but can be ordered.

my favorite was the appetizer-clams oreganatto-absolutely delicious.
For entree, charred strip steak was wonderful, as was the goat cheese filled ravioli. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the desserts. See my review here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=39817070#post39817070

We did the Fantasmic dinner package in 8/09.

The calamari appetizer was quite good. We get very good fried calamari where we live so I hesitated to order it. (It's a dish that can be absolutely horrible if not well prepared.) DH insisted we get it, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well-prepared it was. MM's version is garnished with lightly-breaded, fried peppers and onions--a bit different than how we get it in my neighborhood, but it was a tasty touch.

I had the steak, and DH had seafood in marinara over pasta. We were both pleased with our entrees. The steak was smaller and thinner than what I'm used to when dining out, but with an appetizer and dessert, it was plenty.

The dessert I had was to-die-for, and sadly, I don't see it listed on the All Ears menu now. It was a hazelnut cheesecake with blood orange sauce. I'd have gone back just for that, but actually, I think we'll be back anyway. The Fantasmic tickets that came with the meal allowed us into a separate entrance for the show, and it was more pleasant walking in that way than it was being herded in with the masses of the general public entrance.

Overall, I think the Fantasmic package is an awesome use of a TS credit.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the spicy sausage pasta dish, but I don't know if it's still on the menu. Does anyone know if it's still there??? wdwinfo shows it on their menu, but allears doesn't.

We love MMR and do the fantasmic package everytime we go. And... hands down favorite family pick is the Chicken Parm usually 3 out of 4 of us get it and the one who didnt always picks off of the others. I think this time it will be the same except my wife will get the Strip steak, but I have recently had Gastric Bypass and will only be able to eat a small amount of my chicken parm so she will undoubtably eat some of mine as will the kids finish it off!
Good luck, when are you going? We will be there in late Oct

 

[MickeyNicki]

The special salad, it had mixed greens, gorgonzola and pears

The shrimp pasta was delish
