Is mama melrose the best restaurant at mgm?

I want to quantify my statement that I've always had awesome food at the Brown Derby by adding that I haven't eaten there since the start of the dining plans.

Interestingly though, we were able to walk up and get a table at the brown derby in December. In fact, though the parks were very busy, BD was only half full

So it was quite useful from that point of view, though overpriced

MM is the one reservation I had that we skipped because it poured the rain that day at MGM & we left & didn't feel like going back for dinner. I am still curious about it tho & will hopefully try it on a later trip. I have one friend who did not like it at ALL but she's quite particular about her Italian food (I, on the other hand, not so much ).

We've been a few times. The first time we got luke warm soggy pizza from a server who couldnt care less. Very offputting

The next time was "ok" and the last time was with the backstage magic tour group. The new chef came out to see us, I think he said he'd worked at artist point prior to MM, not sure on that, but anyway you could tell he knew his food and was really trying to make MM something special. It was a bit too adventurous for me foodwise but that's my problem not the restaurant's. What I did have was very nice

I am very particular about my Italian food as well. Suprisingly enough the so called authentic places tend to fall short more often than others.

We always get the penne ala vodka when we go. It is very good. Their calamari is nice too. Fresh and not chewy. I also LOVE their tomatoes and mozzarella.
