We spent our last night of the trip in Hollywood Studios with plans to see the Frozen fireworks.
It was hot and humid and we were getting hungry so we picked up a last minute reservation for Mama Melrose.
The theming inside this restaurant is great. I really felt like I was back in the Bronx at my grandmas house.
We started off with the Calamari
I love that it was served with peppers and onions and the dipping sauces were great to use on the bread too. There was an oil, pesto and marinara sauce.
I am pretty used to Italian food and I didn't want the same old diner so I was having a hard time deciding on what to order.
I went with the Saltimbocca
Now I don't usually eat pork tenderloin so I'm not sure what made me order this but I am glad I did. It was so good. There was prosciutto and fontina cheese on top of the pork, mashed potatoes and broccollini on the side and it was all in a delicious lemon caper sauce. I will go back for this.
Juan ordered the Charred Strip Steak
This was Juan's favorite meal of the trip. It was served with four-cheese macaroni and had a balsamic-shallot butter and a red wine reduction. I had to try it, it was super juicy and the wine reduction was delish.
Angelina had the Penne all Vodka with Shrimp
This was a huge portion and the shrimp were huge too. The sauce was a pretty standard vodka sauce but I've never seen it offered with shrimp before. It was a nice change and Angelina was very happy with it.
For dessert I ordered the Chocolate "gelato". I'm pretty sure this was just plain chocolate ice cream and I didn't bother taking a picture.
Juan ordered the Chocolate Cannoli
I'm not a big cannoli fan but I had a bite of one and it was pretty yummy. Juan really liked them, they tasted very fresh.
Angelina had the Dessert Sampler
This was a chocolate and cherry cake, tiramisu, and an amaretto cheesecake.
She loved them all. Cake and creme, whats not to like?!
So our last dinner turned out pretty great for a last min plan. The frozen fireworks were gorgeous, I will admit I cried...It was our last night and I was feeling emotional! And then as we were leaving Elsa made it snow in Hollywood Studios.
I love these magical Disney moments.
