The schtick at Mama Della’s is theme-park Italian. Find the entrance off the Portofino-inspired hotel’s piazza and watch as tableside musicians and “Mama” make the rounds. Don’t worry; that superficiality ends with the food. Hearty Italian indulgences like chicken Parmesan and lasagna fill the menu, but the brown butter-doused pollo alla carbonara, speckled with pancetta and peas, reigns supreme.

The butterbeer you’ve heard so much about is a butterscotch-cream beverage straight from the Harry Potter books that’s smooth, sweet, impossible to resist, and available pretty much everywhere in the Wizarding World. The great debate about the supremacy of hot, cold, and frozen varieties rages on, but we prefer the frozen version for its icy texture, ideal on a steamy Florida afternoon.

From whimsical scoops to butterbeer soft serve, every frozen treat at this colorful Harry Potter creamery is divine. No samples are offered, so if you’re overwhelmed, opt for the can’t-lose pairing of Earl Grey and lavender with sticky toffee pudding.

Krusty Burger’s cheddar sauce-slathered, bacon-topped double stack is the most theme park-y food you’ll find in The Simpsons-themed land. We can’t help but think Krusty Burger’s twisted proprietor would love this gloopy, unhealthy mess of a fast-food burger.

This one-stop shop inside Hard Rock Hotel offers scoops of the Boston-bred chain’s curious flavors, making for one of the best sweet treats you’ll find at the resort or beyond.

This legit sports destination offers a lengthy beer list and hefty meals, but it’s worth exiting the park just for this juicy burger, which is topped with all things smoked — brisket, pork, gouda — then slathered in barbecue sauce.

With inventive flavors and reasonable prices, the famed Portland doughnuttery makes a handy breakfast or late-night snack. You’re bound to feel left out if you’re not among the masses carrying pink boxes back to their hotel rooms.

With unusual flavors (pink vanilla! Apple!) and a mess of candy mix-ins spun directly into the cotton candy, this dose of Harajuku-style fun comes from the Honk Honkers gift shop tucked in Seuss Landing.

You can purchase quirky confections downstairs at this smoke-churning steampunk factory, but the real treat isn’t sweets or Instagram-ready milkshakes: It’s the savory stuff. The all-day breakfast and the Southern fried chicken BLT are wholly sublime. For something sweet, go ahead and order a starter of chocolate almond bread, which comes with salted caramel butter.

Delightful in a cake-from-a-box way, the Cauldron Cake is made of dense chocolate sponge cake and sports thick “fiery” frosting. The Harry Potter favorite comes in — what else? — a keepsake cauldron.

This whimsical chocolate-dunked vanilla ice cream bar fits perfectly among its Seussian surroundings, and the ice cream shop serves it frozen so it won’t disintegrate in the sun.

Hog’s Head is the preferred venue to drink like an off-duty Hogwarts professor, made all the better by the bar’s rustic interior. Opt for one of two exclusively themed beers: a Hog’s Head red ale or Dragon Scale lagered ale.

A banner hanging outside this mythical-themed restaurant proclaims Mythos is the “World’s Best Theme Park Restaurant.” You’d think it couldn’t possibly live up to that boast, but somehow it does. The robust menu of Greek and Asian specialties includes plenty of options, but a perfectly seared salmon served atop zucchini ribbons will surely cancel out the day’s other sugary indulgences.

This surf-and-turf skillet is a specialty take on molcajete mixto. It features chorizo, shrimp, and skirt steak, topped with roasted chipotle tomato sauce and chunks of queso fresco, altogether outshining the menu’s more recognizable dishes. (Try not to fill up on chips beforehand — they’re addictive here.)

An impeccable restaurant that could stand on its own as one of Orlando’s finest, Strong Water Tavern incorporates local vendors and seasonal produce not often seen at theme park hotels. Ceviche, curried goat, and jerk chicken are among the surprising dishes, all complemented by a serious cocktail program led by the on-duty “rum captain.” If you’re in search of a fantastic dinner, look no further.

After days of eating junk, an unlimited pile of vegetables is a welcome blessing at Universal’s millennial-focused Aventura Hotel. Add your preferred noodles and a protein, choose between stir fry or noodle soup, and top with fresh herbs.
