New Menu Items at Hollywood Studios

Hey Disney Vacationers! If you’re on the lookout for new flavors at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, I’ve got the scoop! Starting October 23, you’ll find exciting new menu items at two of the park’s most beloved dining spots: Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. Let’s dive into what you can expect on your next visit to these iconic eateries and the new menu items at Hollywood Studios.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant: New Bites to Satisfy Every Sci-Fi Fan

Pull up to a car-shaped booth or table and get ready to enjoy a meal at this unique “drive-in” that’s all about the retro vibes and thrilling, chilling sci-fi scenes. The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater offers a Hollywood-style soundstage experience where classic carhops guide you to your very own automo-booth or table. The vintage decor, twinkling stars overhead, and the nostalgic ambiance make it a must-visit.

New Menu Items at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant:

  • Beamed-Up Burger with Fries: Two-pressed signature-blend patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, jalapeño-bourbon-bacon jam, and house-made burger sauce all piled high on a brioche bun. It’s a mouthwatering twist on a classic, with a spicy-sweet kick that’s out of this world.
  • Prime Rib Sandwich: Toasted hoagie roll filled with shaved prime rib, provolone cheese, house-made giardiniera, arugula, and a side of au jus. This is a hearty and savory option, perfect for those who want a little extra bite to their meal.

Whether you’re a burger aficionado or in the mood for a juicy prime rib sandwich, these new options bring a fresh twist to the Sci-Fi Dine-In experience.

Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano: Bold Flavors, Cozy Atmosphere

Step into Mama Melrose’s, where home-style Italian fare meets a cozy, backlot-inspired atmosphere. The checked curtains, overhead string lights, hanging foodstuffs, and walls filled with eclectic mementos give this spot a warm, inviting feel. The new menu additions are sure to delight fans of rich Italian flavors.

New Menu Items at Mama Melrose:

  • Mama’s Pasta with Shrimp: Indulge in a creamy three-cheese sauce with sautéed kale, cavatappi, roasted butternut squash, and wild mushroom. This dish is a perfect balance of hearty and light, with shrimp adding a delicate touch of seafood flavor.
  • Tuscan White Bean Purée: For those seeking a plant-based option, the Tuscan White Bean Purée is a must-try. Roasted garlic and eggplant blend seamlessly with fresh herbs and a drizzle of chili oil. It’s a dish that’s as rich in flavor as it is satisfying.
  • Braised Wagyu Beef on Orecchiette: For a truly luxurious dining experience, try the Braised Wagyu Beef on Orecchiette. The red wine-braised Wagyu beef combines with dried cherries and pink peppercorn, creating a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor profile that’s perfect for those seeking something a little more refined.
