Come enjoy a delightful creation at East Side Mario's. Explore a menu offering pasta and a variety of pizzas, priced at 11$ to 25$. Their atmosphere has been described as casual. You can get there by car. The surrounding area is memorable for its parks.
I go here quite often with my family. Maybe a little too much. Some of the wait staff know us by name so maybe we get preferential treatment.
In a nutshell, we go here since our 5yr old and 4yr old like the food (mainly the bread). Plus the waitresses and staff always go out of their way to entertain them and make the kids smile.
For a family, it's a great experience. For a couple looking for a romantic night out, not so much.
The food is good when you consider that it's a franchise and the chef's aren't given much room to explore.
We go there about once a week.
Don't waste your money. I'm serious. You could cook a better meal at home. The chicken in the tettrazini was not fresh chicken but rather chunks of chicken lunch meat and the noodles were overcooked. The sauce on the spaghetti was not special. They give unlimited salad or soup and 'garlic' bread. The minestrone soup was ok but nothing you can't find in a can. The salad was good tho. The bread was the biggest disappointment. Similar to or maybe even dempsters from any grocery store with next to no garlic taste. The server was pleasant. They sweep the floor around our table while we were eating...not cool. Definitely a waste of good cash.
Had a problem with the service. Called head office and they responded within 24 hours. Got a phone call from the owner and really appreciated the quick response. Will likely visit this location again due to the care shown by the management, hopefully the service staff can reciprocate.
I love the food and the atmosphere. I overly enjoy the all you can eat bread (we both do) but its always warm. We both enjoy going.. the place is one of our favs..sometimes iffy with the servers but overall they are pretty nice (odd bitch) but food is always good and on time. No complaints.. Always excited to go!
I love this place. It's one of the only places i'll eat. I love how you can get the garlic bread and salad on top of the drink with unlimited refills as long as you get a pasta ( which by the way is awesome). I joked around with the waitress, and one of them remembered me from the last time i was in. The sausage and pepper penne was so good i ordered a second plate just to take home for later. All in all a great restaurant.
