Mama Dolce's

Mama Dolce's is a location in Fallout 3. It can be reached either through the Arlington/Wasteland Metro then east through Arlington Cemetery, or through the Arlington/Falls Church Metro in Falls Church.

Background
An encrypted file in the terminal located in the upper section of the Food Distribution center can be decrypted by looting Mama Dolce's encryption key from the body of the Chinese remnant captain. The terminal reveals that Mama Dolce's was a front for Chinese intelligence and espionage throughout the D.C. area, and would most likely have served as the base of operations for other outposts scattered in the surrounding region. It seems that their front, in the end, came back to bite them, as when the bombs dropped they became the ghouls you fight in Mama Dolce's food prepossessing center.

Layout
Mama Dolce's food processing plant is divided into three parts: Between the entry-side processed food, and food distribution, lies the loading yard, this location is also filled with Chinese remnant soldiers.
 * Mama Dolce's processed food
 * Mama Dolce's food distribution
 * Mama Dolce's loading yard

General

 * A Nuka-Cola Quantum is on the upper level in the food distribution area. It's on a desk next to a terminal which is near a pre-War book.
 * Many Chinese assault rifles can be looted from the Chinese remnants, along with otherwise hard-to-find dirty Chinese jumpsuits.
 * A few Stealth Boys can be found in the building. The first is located in the upper levels of the food distribution area under the desk which holds the Chinese Captain's computer. The second is on the ground floor of the processed foods area through a set of double-doors (in the north near the Arlington Cemetery exit) located on a table to the right as you enter the room. There is a Stealth Boy beside the Turret Control terminal when you first walk in to the food distribution area from the Arlington Cemetery South area. Another may be found inside the hard-locked safe down in the cavernous space beneath the food distribution area.
 * 11 boxes of Sugar Bombs can be found in the food distribution section. These can be used in the unmarked quest Murphy's Bombing Run.

Books

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor is outside just North of the Mama Dolce's food distribution entrance behind some barrels, next to a dead wastelander, in an overturned storage container.
 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual is next to one of the snipers in the loading yard area.
 * Two Guns and Bullets, one is next to the other sniper on the opposite side of the loading yard and one is in a bathroom stall on the ground floor in the processed foods area.
 * Dean's Electronics is on a shelf in the middle of a stairway in the processed food area. It's next to a phone, a toolbox and a broken terminal.
 * Tumblers Today is in the food distribution area. Drop down through two holes in the floor to the lower "cave" area to find the book next to two safes and a skeleton.
 * Two pre-War books can be found - one is in the food distribution area, on an upper level next to a terminal. The second book can be found on/under a small table in the upper level in the southeast portion of the processed foods area.

Appearances
Mama Dolce's only appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
In Italian, one of the meanings of the word "dolce" is "sweet", which is fitting, considering the multitude of Sugar Bombs throughout the factory.
