Emack & Bolio's Marketplace
ICE CREAM
Rock Hotel; ice cream $3-8; 6:30am-11pm; ; Universal)
Originally from Boston, Emack and Bolio ice cream beats other national chains hands
down. And of course, only at this bastion of rock and roll will you find Bye Bye Miss
American Mud Pie.
Mama Della's Ristorante
ITALIAN
Bay Hotel; mains $10-22; 5:30-11pm; ; Universal)
Charming, cozy and friendly, with vintage wallpaper, dark wood and several rooms with
romantic nooks. You really do feel like you're a welcomed guest at a private home nestled
in Italy. Strolling musicians entertain tableside, and the simple Italian fare is both fresh and
excellent; the service is efficient but relaxed.
Good wine, old-fashioned soda in a bottle, and a bowl of pasta at Mama Della's makes a
very nice ending to a day at the parks, for both kids and adults.
Orchid Court Sushi Bar
JAPANESE
Pacific Resort; sushi $4-8, mains $12-20; 11am-11pm; ; Universal)
This small, informal sushi bar oozes calm inside the light-and-airy, glass-enclosed lobby of
the Royal Pacific Resort, decked out with cushioned couches and chairs. Try the cherry
blossom saketini.
