He focuses on creating delicious meals, full of flavor, and excellent service.

One of Ragazzi’s signature items are their Pepperoni Knots. I think my kids could have eaten an entire meal of these! Melt in your mouth with gooey cheese goodness made these a favorite.

 

Delicious Pizza and More

Ragazzi's | Family Fun in Omaha

Our family loves pizza, and this was some of the best we have had! The flakiness of the crust is similar to a croissant, and the flavors blend well together. This Pizza Bianca with alfredo sauce, roasted chicken, artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach was amazing, and I love the thinly sliced chicken!

On Tuesdays, enjoy a Special: Buy one 12″ pizza, get one free! (Dine in or carry out. Not valid with any other offer.)

 

Ragazzi's | Family Fun in Omaha

A friend recommended this Ragazzi’s Chopped Salad, and I am so glad she did! The avocados and creamy basil dressing make this an item I will definitely order again on a future visit.

 

Ragazzi's | Family Fun in Omaha

This Lil’ Slice of Heaven lives up to its name! Filled with baked angel hair pasta, alfredo sauce, and topped with smoked provolone, this unique pasta dish was very filling and flavorful.

 

Save Room for Dessert!

Ragazzi's | Family Fun in Omaha

Top off your meal with the sweet Peanut Butter Pie, the perfect combination of Peanut Butter and Chocolate. This was voted a favorite by my kids.

New Games, Family Fun, and Delicious Food at The MARK + Giveaway! (ENDED)

The MARK Omaha | Family Fun in Omaha

Disclosure: Special thanks to The MARK for inviting my family to experience their fun new attractions and enjoy a meal, and for providing the $25 giveaway!

Looking for a one-stop family entertainment center where you can bowl together, play games, and enjoy a delicious meal, perfect for the colder Winter weather or hot Summer days? Excited to try out a new 4D attraction or updated high-tech Laser Tag right here in Omaha? Have a child’s birthday coming up and need a fun location to host it?

The MARK Omaha is an impressive complex full of fun experiences for families to enjoy. Right when we walked in the door of their newly updated family entertainment center, we were welcomed by the excitement and anticipation that we were going to have fun together!

COURTS

The MARK Omaha | Family Fun in Omaha

Their newly added courts bring families for basketball tournaments and volleyball games. It is a perfect set-up for families who are there for tournaments where they can have their own entrance to the Courts from the parking lot, and can also play in the arcade or eat a meal during a tournament while waiting for games or afterwards to celebrate with their team.

Have you heard of Bubble Ball (pictured)? The MARK now offers Bubble Ball, too – a fun, high energy activity for kids and adults!

LANES

The MARK participates in the Kids Bowl Free program over the summer! We love the little orange dinosaurs that are perfect for helping little ones roll the balls down and hit a few pins!

GAMES – New Dark Ride XD and Updated Laser Tag!

The MARK Omaha | Family Fun in Omaha

The NEW Dark Ride XD is a 4D interactive game with movable chairs, special effects, and the true feeling you are falling down a waterfall! After getting buckled in your seat and putting on your 3D glasses, choose from 3 different movie adventures and be prepared to challenge your friends and family for an exciting visual experience.

We choose Los Banditos, where we rode along in the wild west, passing by a train, riding down a river, with many exciting falls and turns. If it gets a little too real for smaller children, you can raise your hand and they immediately turn their chair off. We had a blast in the game and are excited to try the other two experiences!

The newly updated Lost Ruins Laser Tag is amazing! The high tech vests offer a variety of options including changing colors and teams with each time you are hit.

With two levels and cool special effects, we had so much fun chasing each other, hiding behind corners, and peeking through all the little windows. The hand painted and carved designs on the wall add to the overall effect and excitement – high quality, intense fun!

The newly updated arcade was full of new games and old favorites!
