Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano in Disney's Hollywood Studios

It's been a very busy few months, and I now have time to finish up our Disney trip with our final restaurant.  Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano in Disney's Hollywood Studios was a first visit for the whole family.

We decided to visit this restaurant for lunch.

We started with Crispy Calamari, which was topped with grilled peppers and onions, served with dipping sauces.  This was really yummy and perfectly cooked.  

 

Cristyana the pizza princess ordered a pepperoni pizza for her lunch, oh and let's not forget the ranch dressing!  It was her own personal pan pizza.  

Mikayla ordered the Oven-Baked Chicken alla Parmigiana, which was breaded chicken breast with marinara sauce topped with melted mozzarella over spaghetti.  The pasta was cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist and well seasoned.

Chris ordered the Chicken Campanelle, which had wood-grilled chicken over campanelle pasta tossed in a four-cheese sauce with broccoflower, sun-dired tomatoes, with fresh spinach and sweet onions.  The campanelle pasta was well cooked and the chicken was moist and well seasoned.

I ordered the Saltimbocca with pork tenderloin topped with prosciutto, sage, fontina cheese, tuscan mashed potatoes, broccolini and lemon caper sauce.  I have only ever had the chicken saltimbocca, so the pork was a welcome change.  The pork was cooked perfectly and every bite was seasoned well and enjoyable.

Of course no meal is complete without dessert!  We ordered the traditional cannoli, which was made with a creamy cannoli filling with a hint of citrus and dusted with cocoa powder.  Of course it was super yummy!

We ordered the dessert sampler, which had miniature versions of Mama's favorite desserts, Amarettini cheese cake, tiramisu, and cannoli cake.  Each dessert was just enough to try them and they were all wonderful, it was a good thing I didn't have to choose which to have!  We got the best of both worlds!

After trying Mama Melrose, I think we will be making our way back to this restaurant in the future!  This was the last restaurant we visited in DisneyWorld!  Back to Las Vegas!  Look for our posts from Las Vegas, NV!!

Be Our Guest - Belle's Castle in Magic Kingdom

This restaurant is located in Belle's castle in Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom at DisneyWorld.

These are just some of the photos of inside the castle.

When you walk in you order your breakfast on a computer. Then you walk into the dining rooms. You could have breakfast inside the ballroom, library, or the west wing.

This pastry tray comes to your table along with your meal. They were yummy!

This is my meal. It was the Croissant Doughnut, topped with Banana-Caramel Sauce, Pastry crime, and Chocolate Ganache. It was amazing, but small. It was a good thing the patty tray was there to fill you up.

Croque Madame - open faced ham sandwich topped with a fried egg, Gruyere cheese, and becahmel. 

That was good, but small.

Mikayla ordered scrambled egg whites and chicken sausage. She didn't care for it, but there wasn't much variety. 

Cristyana got scrambled eggs and bacon!  I think she had the best meal out of all of us!

Overall, we thought this restaurant was over rated at least for breakfast! I don't think the price was worth the food. The price was $19.99 no matter what you got.

Flying Fish Cafe - Boardwalk, Disney World

Hello! Wow this has been a crazy, crazy month!!!

During this crazy month we went on vacation to Florida, we visited family and we visited DisneyWorld!! 

The next few posts will be from Walt DisneyWorld Florida!

The first night we were at Disney we went to dinner at the Flying Fish Cafe at the Boardwalk Hotel at DisneyWorld. Chris and I had been to this restaurant a few times the first time was on our honeymoon in 1999. Over this 16 years we have stopped in two to three times. This time we took our two daughters. The decor has changed over this time, but the one thing that has not changed is the freshness of the menu. The menu is printed every day so you may not always see the same entrees everyday!

This is the Chefs special Thunder from the sea. . . .Herbaceous Brioche Crusted Icelandic Cod. It was served with baby Asian greens, young turnips, snow peas, EPCOT land peppers, cultivated mushroom, smoked yellow tomato butter emulsion. It was full of flavor and moist! It tasted amazing!!!

This is the Grilled Sea Scallops! It was made with artichoke, taggiasca olive ratatouille, basil, pecorino and mascarpone risotto di carbaryl I and capers. This sea scallops were huge and cooked perfectly! The risotto was amazing and melted in your mouth.

This is the Char-crusted Angus New York Strip Steak! For being a seafood restaurant the steak was amazing! It cut with a butter knife and melted in your mouth! The flavors were amazing!

This was off the kids menu! It was called the Flying Fish Cafe Pizza-Bobs! They are cheesy pepperoni fritters and pizza dipping sauce! Cristyana loved them!

For dessert Cristyana had Mickey's Chocolate Puzzle! It's a white chocolate puzzle with sugar paints, and a creamy topped chocolate cupcake!

The final piece!!

Mikayla had the seasonal house made sorbets with fresh berries! She enjoyed it even though she was full!

I had the Sinful Nutty Chocolate Delice Creation. The cake was light and full of flavor! The raspberries were sweet! Of course chocolate is amazing with everything!

Chris had the Signature Flying Fish Cafe Caramelized Bananas Napoleon! There is a crisp phyllo, banana mousse, crime caramel, exotic fruits and bitter chocolate! This was amazing! Chris love this dessert!!

This was an amazing experience to be able to share at DisneyWorld! So if you are ever near the area this is a must try!!
