Marco Polo's Marketplace — Restaurant in Williamsburg

The selection is huge, but it's cafeteria food. I can eat cafeteria German food because I've never had the real thing, but I can't stomach the "Italian" food here. But, as I said, I'm biased.

We went back later for the cannoli bar, which is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, the station was filthy! The lady serving us was just throwing things together to pre-make cannolis (tossed onto a tray with no care for presentation) using plastic gloves that looked like she'd been wearing them all day. There were toppings everywhere and the choc sauce she drizzled over the top to make the toppings stick dripped onto her gloves, so the toppings stuck there as well. Even the paper holding the cannol8s picked up some of the remnants, so we didn't even have a clean way to hold them. To avoid taking a pre-made one, I asked for one with only the cream and no topping, for which she used a new pair of gloves, but still re-filled the same pastry bag (which was covered in choc and toppings) and even managed to get an errant sprinkle on my cannoli, which she flicked off.

Having said all of that, while unappetizing, I didn't see anything unsanitary, which is why we didn't just walk out. The flavor was ... ok (I've made better) and my daughter said the nutella filling tasted like...

Probably my favorite place to eat at in Busch Gardens Williamsburg unless I want to be indoors while I eat.

Lots of variety. Including but not limited to pasta, pizza, salads, Chinese food, fresh fruit and desserts like cake and pudding. Typically the portions are generous. My recommendations are the Mongolian beef with fried rice and vegetables, dumplings and any of the cookies.

Depending on the day of the week you go it can be crowded or only a little busy. My only complaints are the drink station always being a disaster and that there's only outdoor seating with fans that don't really do much in the summer.

This is an All Day Dining Deal location so you can get an entrée, a side OR a dessert and a drink once every 90 minutes here without having to pay anything past the initial fee of $50 +tax. Which, if you're there all day is totally worth it if you work up an appetite. As stated before portions are generous so you could potentially share your meal with two or three people if you're not ravenous eaters.

It's pricey otherwise but that should be expected at...

One line for multiple types of separated food sections?!. Well, the line was waiting too long and there was only one waiting line. About 60% people get in line to buy Italian food. Other food sections/counters are less buyers or no one. People tried to get in is only one line to become a long waiting and... wasting time for people who wanted other types of food other than Italian one. BG should plan better than this. Splitting one long line for customers to have addition waiting line always a good solution, or they should have some kinds of separated signs telling customers what food line leads to that food section inside. Who could do that? Probably restaurant workers. Also, food at this area is okay, I guess. The food was really good years ago when I and my family enjoyed as many years with each season pass. This time maybe due to COVID-19 pandemic and/or lacking of workers the food is not actually...
