Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano was an Italian-American restaurant in the Grand Avenue area at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Located near Muppet*Vision 3D and Star Tours, the restaurant specializes in Italian cuisine, serving such dishes as ossobuco, wood-fired flatbread pizza, and grilled salmon and sausage grinders. A Fantasmic! dinner package is available that grants restaurant guests quicker access to this show. This package is also offered at two other restaurants in the park: the Hollywood Brown Derby and Hollywood & Vine. Ron Douglas included the recipe for Mama Melrose's cappuccino crème brûlée in his cookbook America's Most Wanted Recipes: Just Desserts. Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano permanently closed on May 10, 2025. Mama Melrose's is decorated with film memorabilia and Italian bric-à-brac. The restaurant's background music consists of songs sung by such Italian-American singers as Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. Mama Melrose's (along with PizzeRizzo) closed on May 10, 2025 to make way for new restaurants, such as Harryhausen's for the upcoming Monstropolis area for the park.
