Mario-themed dining with whimsical dishes like Piranha Plant Caprese
"In Super Nintendo World, the quick-service spot brings familiar, larger-than-life items from other parks alongside new challenges: Bowser’s Fireball Challenge is a one-pound meatball topped with mozzarella and mushroom marinara, wrapped in puff pastry and served with a side of hot sauce; the Mario Burger is stacked with bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, and American cheese on a housemade bun. Both are positioned as iconic, Instagram-ready quick bites for guests between rides." - Megan duBois
"Inside Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood, Toadstool Cafe has been a runaway success and is described as perpetually packed, a popularity that helped motivate the park to expand its Super Nintendo dining options." - Cathy Chaplin
"There will likely be a very long line at this incredible Super Mario Bros.-inspired restaurant at Universal Studios Hollywood. While the cafeteria fare is going to be really pretty and frankly Instagrammable, don’t expect fine dining. The mushroom soup, cheesy garlic knots, and Luigi burger are the ones to order. But beyond the food, just soak in the whimsical video walls, colorful dining room, and overall fun vibes of this theme park experience. If anything, the desserts are going to be pretty reliable." - Eater Staff
"A massive Super Mario Brothers–themed dining experience created with Nintendo and Universal Studios that opts for creative, game-inspired dishes (toadstool-shaped garlic knots, mushroom power-up crackers, Luigi burger) rather than generic theme-park fare, with a playful, immersive menu." - Eater Staff
"Inside Universal Studios Hollywood, I found a fully realized Super Mario Brothers–themed Italian-American restaurant where executives didn’t cut corners on design: power-up icons, bright green Warp Pipes, and mustachioed hamburger buns help Toadstool Cafe capture the imagination of Mario and Luigi fans across the Southland." - Cathy Chaplin
