My meal at Mama Melroses far surpassed my expectations. After making our ADR here under the Fantasmic Dinner plan, I was having second thoughts from all the negative reviews I had read and heard. My experience was positive (they were a few negative aspects).
Food - 4 stars out of 5
First, on the Fantasmic plan, you get a lot of food. It was just me and my partner, and having an appetizer, entree and dessert for both of us was a lot of food. My partner had the mozzarella and tomato stack, a steak, and the chocolate cake, I had the bruschetta, the pork marsala, and the crema limone. My partner said all of his food was good, but that my pork marsala was much better. I really enjoyed my pork marsala. The desserts were great as well. The crema limone was very refreshing.
Service- 3 1/2 stars out of 5
Mama's was very busy the night we were there. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our ADR time, the longest wait all week. After we were seated, we waiting a long time for our waiter to appear. No water, no nothing until then. Part of the problem was that our waiter had two big parties to deal with. It still was frustrating, to go a long time without seeing our server. When he was around, he did a great job.
Ambiance- 3 1/2 stars out of 5
The inside of Mama's is nothing special. We did enjoy checking out all the photos in the lobby. It is dim lighting and the noise level is adequate. I've been in other Italian restaurants with similar decor.
We mostly likely will eat here again on our next trip. We probably will do the Fantasmic package again, but skip the show, (I liked the show, but saw the Disneyland version when it first premiered there, and like that one much more). I would recommend Mama's to others. As mentioned it far exceeded my expectations.
