Mamma Melina Ristorante serves Italian dishes prepared with a keen awareness. On our most recent visit, I started with the chef’s whim salad, a daily special, and it was a savory sweet treasure arranged with Gorgonzola and pear. Everything after that was just as superb and we have tried many Italian restaurants. After dinner we had planned to go upstairs for a free movie screening. As we were enjoying our finely prepared food, we noticed a line forming outside the movie theater (The Landmark Seven Gables Theatre, just in case you want to do dinner and a movie too). When our waitress saw our concern as we reviewed our free movie pass she reassured us that the line had to reach a certain distance before the theater would reach full capacity. She even went to take a peek outside to make sure we were still safe as we finished our coffee. If you want a charming place to enjoy a fine Italian meal before a movie, or anytime, just try Mamma Melina’s. The Landmark Seven Gables Theatre tends to play arty future classics and we received our free passes from Scarecrow Video, which is in the same Roosevelt neighborhood.
