We ordered Gnocchi, mozzarella sticks and spaghetti, all of it was amazing and the staff is very nice!
Our waitress Marissa was exceptional. Very pleasant and jovial. Being we were celebrating our 42nd anniversary I am grateful for Marissa being our waitress. If she had not been, the screw up with our order [caused by another waitress taking one of our meals, and there being no more veal to replace it with) would have definitely made me walk away with our table of 4. Marissa deserves a promotion and pay increase as far as I am concerned. The entire staff could learn A LOT from her.
Although the staff working here are very nice, the actual service was not good. I attended this location this evening for dinner and found the service to be inattentive and no one checked in on us throughout our meal and we had to find the server in order to get our bill. I would encourage the manager to speak to the staff on the importance of checking in on their tables. I have attended the Whitby North location on various occasions and have never had an issue with service.
My friend and I were starving and stopped in for a very late lunch (~ 3:45pm). The restaurant was not busy. We ordered tea, and salad to start. After 2 or 3 mouthfuls my friend noticed a quick moving bug without wings within her salad. She told the waitress who went to get a replacement salad. Before the waitress returned we discovered another of the same bug on the table under the lip of my bowl, which I quickly trapped with my empty milkette container. By the time the waitress returned we’d decided we would not eat there. No manager came to our table, so I asked the waitress to confirm that a manager would be advised as she provided us with the bill for our tea! Won’t catch us there again.
This roadhouse style restaurant has enough variety on their menu for most diners. The chicken and shrimp spaghetti that I chose was good; a third less sauce would have been preferable. Our appetizer, Mozzarella Sticks, hit the spot. Two of our party enjoyed their very generous portions of chicken parmesan. The chicken fingers, from the children's menu, did not disappoint. The service was friendly but lacked some attentiveness. The surroundings were clean. All in all this Eatery, although not gourmet dining, was sufficient for our requirements.
Very little seafood options. And the seafood quantity in the dish was abysmal for the pricing. The tomato soup was the only good thing. Every Eastside Mario's is overpriced in my experience. Having a halal option would help as well.
Horrible service different waitress every time that came to the table. Shot Glasses were dirty. Out of all locations of east sides I’ve been to this location food was horrible. Soup had so much oil on top and was just a bad experience….. should’ve went to Wendy’s instead for my lunch break
Went for dinner yesterday at around 7 pm and had an AWFUL experience. We were waiting by the door for several minutes while a server and a host were laughing and talking about how busy it was - completely ignoring our existence. They finally sat us down, and we were waiting over 20 minutes before somebody even spoke to us. Had to wait an extra 40 for our food (not even, just the soup and salad) just for the soup to be cold. Btw, their new ravioli soup is -10/10, just tasted like watered down Chef Boyardee with 2-3 raviolis. The salad? Disgusting. I was served a few pieces of lettuce (some of them were old) croutons, and a watered down dressing. No cheese, no condiments, nothing. I get that times are tough, but your prices continue to skyrocket while the food quality keeps declining. How is that acceptable??? Completely waste of money.
Nate was a fantastic server! Loved how he had the jokes going with my son who now believes Nate is in the ad of the guy holding the leaning tower of Pisa.
Always a great experience. Food is always hot and quick.
Best server in a very long time!!! Nate was awesome
Provided bread for a poor man without judgement
Makenna saved my toddlers life, when my baby girl started choking on some bread she came and gave her the Heimlich. I hope you give Makenna a dessert trio every shift, she deserves it. God bless. Amen
Zero judgement was given when I only ordered a desert trio and beer. Thank you
Went with big expectations but was well below ordinary . Kids eat free is a big scam . Had pizza was really upsetting . Felt we should have gone to Boston on the other side
Carlos was super friendly and attentive.
Emma is radiant. The best bartender I have ever had. The bar is cute, it s quiet, I was able to get so much work done. Love this place, I ll be back for Emma.
Spaghetti sauce taste like from a can Restaurant smells like fish Waiters looks like they just got out from jail Don t waste your time and money here Food : 2/5 |
I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Server was rude, there were 2 hairs in our food and the meals were just made terribly. The manager would not have a conversation with us about the service. My third complaint, i was told they do not sing for birthday s anymore but 5 minutes later sang for a person behind me. I am pissed off.
I had a horrible experience at this dining restaurant. I had ordered the Linguine chicken tetrazzini, with no brachetta which my dish arrived containing brachetta. After eating a bit less then half I had found more than one hair in my meal. We had found hair in another dish at our table which was the same length and color as the other hairs found in the other dishes. We had came here for my older brothers 16th birthday which he had waited many days and nights for, we had asked if the servers could sing him happy birthday which, he didnt receive. We had thought that maybe they stopped singing until we heard many voices ascending from the kitchen to sing to an elderly man, my brother was very upset, confused, and furious, at this scene. When we had asked to speak to a manager our server had responded to us saying no comment, when we had asked a different server she had said that the manager doesnt enjoy interacting with her customers. If I could I would rate this experience 0/5 but sadly thats not possible on Google review. In the past when i had come to this location i have had a great time with my family but after this time spent at east side I will not be returning again. Thank you for reading.
Our waitress Leah was extraordinary - she was proactive rather than reactive - she made our dining experience extra special. Please see that Leah gets an extra bonus for her amazing performance - I will come back and hopefully ask for Leah if shes working
Grace, our waitress was amazing and made the lack of quality in the food worth it!
Dec 06 for dinner. Food was delicious, service was great and the two Managers are really nice !! Oh yes, the atmosphere was fun ! Hey thanks eh, Jason N.
Emma was lovely!!
Our server Jamie was excellent!
Grace was excellent and very courteous. She reviewed the dinner menu with us. Great service. Thank you for the amazing experience at East Side Marios.
Emma was a great server. She took care very well of us. Food was good and the kids enjoy it.
We had a great experience tonight at Eastside Marios, my Friend and I have been doing girls night for over 40 years and Eastside Marios is one of our favorites. Our waiter tonight, Nathan went above and Beyond. He was friendly and brought us refills and extra sauce and made our night a lot more fun. We hope we have Nathan as our waiter again
Food was good but the service was excellent. Carlos went above and beyond. Its service like that that makes you want to come back. Always have had a good experience at this East Sides.
Hilary gave me and my husband the best experience for our anniversary dinner Hilary made sure the service was quick and everything was served with a beautiful smile thanks again!
Nathan our server was amazing at the Oshawa location in Ontario We eat out a lot and he s easily been one of our top 5 servers we have ever experienced Eastside Mario s is lucky to have him. Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu selection.
Delicious food, amazing service! Our server Andrijana was amazing! Such a great dining experience! Parking: Nice and close to entrance. Kid-friendliness: Lots of tables, caters to children Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible
Emmerson gave very great service at the front door. thank you
Carlos was fabulous! Attentive, attention to detail and courteous! We will be back! Parking: Lots is spaces!
Me and my partner ordered the sampler platter. It had chicken parm, lasanga and Alfredo pasta. It was spectacular! The perfect portion for me and my partner honestly. Our waitress was extremely friendly and wonderful as well. The entire experience makes us want to come back soon!
My server Nathan absolutely killed it today. On point with everything and had amazing energy. He hooked it up for us and for my first time back at ESM in a long time, I m really glad I came. Thanks a ton Nathan, you re a great server.
Very nice place, food is delicious. No wait time Alana is a very nice server. We ate it all up
Went for a friends birthday, Grace was our waitress, fantastic young lady,meal was great, even had a delicious free birthday dessert, fantastic evening Parking: Taunton Rd Oshawa
East side Marios used to be actually pretty decent food but is now terrible. The last 2 times I dined in the service was absolutely horrible and food has gone downhill massively. Just ordered delivery of veal parm and linguine chicken tetrazini. The veal was highly overcooked and the pasta dish was very dry. I know its delivery and by time it gets to your door its not as fresh but it was really bad. Ive had same food experiences when I dine in as well. It will definitely be my last time eating here. Ive had too many bad experiences
Im very disappointed in my visit here. I was here with my family a few days ago. We had to wait for quite a while for someone to even greet us (very understaffed usually). Once we were seated, and ordered food, it was not up to any sort of standard whatsoever. The salad was not even good. The lettuce didnt seem fresh. The hot food was cold, meat was dry and way over cooked, no attention to quality or completely tasteless. Could not even finish the food, or take a 4th bite. The best things we had that visit was the water and the garlic bread. This chain used to be alright (not amazing), but lately the quality of food has gone down drastically that its literally inedible. It is definitely not worth the price, or even the trip to go here. The last few times Ive been here has been the same experience, hoping it would be better. I would not recommend it here at all. This will be my last visit to the east sides chain.
Great dinner experience and amazing server!
Delish!
Alana, was super nice and helpful, I would definitely come here again. The manager was also nice to check up on us as well. Alana was quick and ready and very kind
Andrijana was great not long of a wait also for the food service was also great will definitely come back here.

Today Eric served us lunch and he was extremely pleasant and brought our food out promptly. The food was delicious, the soup was hot and the bread was fresh! Overall we had a great time, and enjoyed our lunch!
Food was great except the ceaser salad, everything we ordered was prepared well. Surprisingly, the pizza was awesome. The tomato soup was good too. Service was good.
Emma was wonderful. Was very good
Parking: Lots of parking in the plaza. Food
Bland food but great service. The pasta hand no taste and was very bland.
Emma was great!
I would give less but you have to at least pick 1 star dont know what happened to this line of restaurants but food had taken a turn for the absolute worst the chicken parm was such a good meal and now its frozen chicken burger patties that are dry as sand paper it used to be my favorite dish but now I refuse to give my money to a place like this
Kierah did a spectacular job with our family today!! Super kind always smiling and served us super quickly and tended to all our crazy requests with the biggest smile! Thank you again for making our experience a memorable one!
Had an amazing server, Alana who took great care of us and our special needs son.
Food was done just right and service was very good. Parking: Right next to Eastside Marios Food : 5/5 |
Very bad
The food and service were great. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and for me thats a deal breaker.
Went for dinner tonight and was pleased by how amazing the server was, Alana was respectful and overall a great server
Food was great server Alana was amazing

Sheridan had great service and made us feel welcome.
Food is great and fresh, Sheridan was amazing
To me, East Side Marios stands out as one of the comfortable dining spots around. Today, I ordered the cheesy spinach dip and the chicken parmigiana, and both dishes were delightful. I opted to swap the tomato pasta with Alfredo for the chicken parm, but unfortunately, the Alfredo was a bit on the dry side. However, the portions were generous, and I was already quite full thanks to the complimentary bread and the all-you-can-eat soup and salad. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, made even better by the great service from our waitress, Sheridan. She was friendly, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, with only a minor hiccup in the pasta. Would definitely recommend for a hearty and enjoyable meal!
Great pizza :) great service from Sheridan :)
My server Sheridan was great!!
Sheridan is a lovely young lady. She is friendly. Service was fabulous Ty Food
Sheridan was great
I ordered take out carbonara pasta and I don t recommend nobody taking that. It s not carbonara it s literally just bacon and pasta with butter, there s no cream in my pasta. My pasta is so dry not even a ounce of milk. It s just butter and bacon so disappointed
My husband and I were seated and then completely ignored for about 20 minutes. Servers were taking others payments, others orders and clearing off tables nearby. We tried to be patient. It didnt appear overly busy when we arrived....quite a few empty tables and seated right away. If someone had at least acknowledged us to let us know they would be with us shortly, it would have been appreciated.The server from our area never walked past our table so we couldnt get her attention. We eventually got up and walked out. Very unimpressed and disappointed.
Meg was an EXCELLENT server. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, the service staff were wonderful and doing their absolute best. Food was lovely as always, and I had a great time. Thank you for hosting my date :)
I ordered 102.00 worth of take out tonight for 4 of us for my mom s 89th birthday. It was such a disappointment, especially for what she wanted which was just plain penne with arribiata sauce - only to be maybe 2 tbsp of sauce?..I ordered the chicken linguine amatriciana (sp) and it had NO chicken at all and was so dry as barely no sauce too. The only good was the bread and salads were ok. So disappointed.
Hillary was such a great server. We really appreciated all her help with the kids birthday celebration.
Fantastic food and amazing service. Great for the whole family.
I had high hopes, but was disappointed with the overall experience. The pizza quality (and the food of everyone in my party) was subpar, lacking the flavor and texture I expected. I was even more frustrated by the staffs unwillingness to make an accomodation to my order when I requested them. It felt like they werent interested in providing a tailored experience, which is essential in this industry. The service was mediocre at best, and while the atmosphere had potential, it couldn t make up for the lackluster food and service. I won t be returning anytime soon.
I come here somewhat regularly for the lunch soup and bread deal. We came in today and it was pretty busy with a hockey tournament running at DelPark. We got seated and Nate took care of us today. We usually have a good experience and he was top notch. Even with how busy the restaurant was he made sure our soup and salads were full even before we asked. Super job!
Nathan was an amazing server for our U15 A Ancaster Avalanche team!! He was very friendly towards all of us. Thanks for all the bread and refills. Nathan can also dance! It was very funny and entertaining. He was great! He is very enthusiastic. Thanks, Nathan. - Ancaster Avalanche U15 A
Went for dinner here the other night here, restaurant told us they were short staffed understandably things took a little longer than normal. Took 15 mins to get seated while there were about 10-15 empty tables. Server didn t give us any bread had to ask 3 times, We Ordered spaghetti and meatballs. It started to take awhile as the manager came over to us and said he was understaffed and told us he had to make more pasta it s taking longer he said about 10 more mins or if we didn t wanna wait he would give us a different meal. We said we would wait no problem. As he walked away I got the smell and head rush like I smoked my first Belmont cigarette again for the first time. We waited 10 more minutes and the server came back and told us 10 more minutes, as we look over and Manager was enjoying a nice beer at the bar. Food eventually came and was mildly warm and wasn t good. Left hungry and unimpressed and $62 I wish I could only get back. Brutal experience and leadership won t be coming back here.
I Came in for lunch I had the fettuccine Alfredo, it was great. Got to meet the new owner he was so nice. It was a pleasure to meet him. Service was great, I will definitely be back again soon!
Excellent and cozy environment, great service. Parking: Excellent and close to the front doors. Food : 5/5 |
Amazing service from Alana, our server, and Emma, the manager! So sweet, and accommodating. Food was great and service was above and beyond.
Maddie was a wonderful bartender who kept our drinks full and an upbeat atmosphere while Chelsea who was just as wonderful got our takeout order fast and kept it warm for us while we finished our drinks would recommend felt like family 10/10
Great service!
Nathan was great!!!
Great atmosphere, Nathan our server made it even better! Will be back!
Really great service. 10/10 for Erik
Service was great! Alana was an excellent server. We will come back.
Today we went to this restaurant again and Alana attended our table. She was very friendly and we had a good experience therefore, I am changing my review and give them 4 stars. This is my review a year ago which I gave them 1 star: If you want to have your dinner on time, I suggest go there there and place your order around noon because you should not be surprised if it takes several hours for them to wondering around, talk to each other and whenever you complain and ask why your food is not there yet, they will tell you the kitchen is busy. If the kitchen is busy and overwhelmed, close the doors and do not accept new customers.
Fabulous.
We had fantastic service from Keirah C. She has a wonderful attitude, she is very attentive and just overall great!
It has been a while since coming back to your restaurant because of previous poor service. Tonight our waitress was Leah and she did a great job. She was prompt with getting our meals, returned to ensure we had everything we wanted and that our food et with our satisfaction. Because of her attentiveness I will be recommending your restaurant.
The soups tasted like can soups The pizza is too expensive for his quality Food
The service was very good. Thank you Alana. Parking: There s plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: $2 kid s meal on Tuesday is the best.
Every staff member greeted us so warmly and went above and beyond to make our dinner experience great. Excellent customer service!! Thank you to Alana for being our server this evening. Kid-friendliness: The hostess ensured we had a high chair and kids menu/crayons, kid friendly cups with lids was a god send
Emma was amazing! She went above regular customer service.. fast, efficient, and kind! Will be back for sure!:)
Service was great! Our server was Alana, she was attentive and quick to bring us all of our food and anything we requested (lots of bread and salad).
Alana was superb. Very friendly and attentive
Alana was very kind ! Thank you for the great service !
Service was super with our server, Nicole. Super friendly and attentive. Kid-friendliness: Go on $2.00 Tuesdays. Where with an adult dinner 20.00 or over, one childs dinner is only 2.00. Such a great deal Food : 4/5 |
Disappointed. The lettuce was mushy in all the salads (group of 6+), salads were barely dressed, and they were out of bread (was at dinner on a friday night but not busy - we now know why). They ended up bringing bread mid meal and it wasnt even fully cooked and was served without butter. Salad was served at same time as the meals , which was fine because it was not edible but made the wait long. Quality of the food was extremely low and not worth the price you pay.
Food s good, weird layout with the booths raised up in the middle of the restaurant by the bar.
Salad is wilty lettuce both cezar and garden dont recommend it the ravioli soup is delicious both our meal and soup and salad came at the same time
Waited 20 minutes to be seated in the lobby when the restaurant was mostly empty. Waited another 20 mins for someone to come talk to us. If youre understaffed, let people know you wont be able to provide service for x amount of time.
I enjoy this location. Good food, and it s a nice environment.
Came here tonight and got penne with red sauce and there was mold in it, I also got the violet lemonade and there was dish soap in it. I could taste it. The service wasnt too bad but they lied about the mold.
Had an amazing experience last night! Our server Carlos, was on top of everything and made sure we felt super comfortable! We really enjoyed the robot going around, it gave us a good laugh! We will be back for sure!
I like the bread
Marissa was amazing! Best server ever.
My daughter loves East Side Marios so weve been several times but this was our first time at this location and this has been the best experience by far! Our server, Michela was amazing! She was very attentive and really went out of her way to accommodate each of our requests. She always checked in and was super honest in providing her opinion! She deserves 10 stars!
Outstanding service from Carlos tonight! What a fabulous experience! He was friendly, efficient and attentive. The manager came to check in on us which is honestly such a nice touch. He was extremely personable but unfortunately I missed his name. Food was hot and flavourful. The Thursday two can eat for $50 was a great value. Excellent job ESM! We will be back soon!
I have been eating at East Side Marios for years and years, and I have never had a bad experience!! Between the kindness and awareness of the staff, to the timely service of delicious food, I will continue to go here over and over again! - HeliosTheSun
First time and it was amazing! Food was great, atmosphere comfortable, and service was perfect. Thanks Marissa!
My lovely girlfriend and I s experience on the night of July 13th was phenomenal!! Ms. Hodge embodies every aspect of professionalism. She went above and beyond for us. She would make us feel taken care of at all times. Asking if we re enjoying our meals, needed anything else, making very delicious recommendations when it came to the cuisine. Best of all she always had a smile on her face during the process. She is also very personable in her interactions with customers. You are very lucky to have such a hard working young woman working on the front line. She is an excellent representation of what customer service should be. I look forward to future visits at this location all thanks to Ms. Hodge.
Erik has been serving us for years. Always happy, upbeat and personable. Thanks again for the top notch service Erik!
Eric our waiter was very attentive and quick Wheelchair accessibility: I dont think the door button works Food : 3/5 |
Last minute decision to eat out...needed a pasta fix...and East Side Marios did not disappoint.
This East Side Mario s is the best. The staff are super friendly and tend to the customers needs in a timely manner. Erik Lilly has always been a top notch server. Parking: Plenty of parking spots Kid-friendliness: All the servers, especially Erik Liley, are extremely kind and friendly to the children that frequent this establishment Wheelchair accessibility: Extremely wheelchair friendly.
Up here in Ottawa away from all the new owners....on our tables 12th loaf of bread... says alot
Service and food was great! Hilary was awesome!
Came here for a patio party with 94.9 the Rock, and everything was fantastic. The music, the people, the food and the service were all 10/10. Will definitely be back soon! Food
Such an amazing place to come with your family for great food! The servers and hosts are so kind and management is amazing! Definitely recommend if you re looking for 10/10 experience!
Good deals, yummy american Italian food, servers where nice, quite empty mid day
We don t normally complain about our experiences but had to share this so hopefully it would improve for other patrons. We visited the Harmony Road location in Oshawa June 2/24. Comment on the lack of freshness with the salads. The garden salad- croutons were soft, lettuce was mushy- not fresh and the dressing had no flavour. Tasted like just oil. I thought it was maybe just mine but my husbands was the same. My husband tried my sons - he had Caesar and lettuce was same. My husband had soup salad and bread. The waitress came back 1 time for anything so we had bread. That was it. No return for salad or soup which he would have had more soup. No refills on drinks. And when we were done it was just need your bills - no place to say well actually we would like some refills or at least the soup as it was all you can eat item. Just disappointing experience today. If it had been so busy and no servers I would have understood but there were lots of people serving and it wasn t at capacity. The hot food dishes we had were very good though. Hopefully just a 1 off experience. :)
Had a great experience at this location but was not impressed by the tired arugula on the focaccia. Pasta and dessert were delicious. Friendly staff.
Nate is the best server I have ever had, fantastic attitude, great energy, overall definitely the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend going here, especially on the weekend!
The unlimited garlic bread and Caesar salad is enough reason to go here
I had to ask for everything that should come normally. POP refill did not happen, 1 GARLIC bread for 3 people, did not get parmesan until my soup was cold & salad became warm , not to mention coffee was look warm or room temperature, we had to ask for another one which took another 10 minutes. Server was not friendly AT ALL.
My glass was dirty with fingerprints and lipstick. My meal tasted like a frozen dinner. The fruit flies enjoyed it though. No manager. Never never again.
Great quick service, enjoyed my parents company, and delicious food.
Excellent service!!! My daughter enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her friends! Thank you
I was hoping to get wedding soup but it was sold out also my waiter after receiving our food from a kitchen helper or another waitress he never came back at all to ask us if we needed another drink. He only came back to give us or ask us if we wanted a bill . Maybe we werent important enough as I was an adult with a 12-year-old he was more focused on bigger tables.
Kids love the drinks.
Took a while to sit with not very many customers in the place.l
Surrounded by dirty tables worst service ever and cold food. I come here often but may need to rethink next time.
nice
amazing food and service! Thanks Crystal
Crystal was an amazing server! Very kind and supportive!
Food was okay, Briley was wonderful.
Hello, came here with my family tonight and very disappointed with the service. Cold soup, server very slow and not communicative. I understand being busy with lots of tables, but this wasnt the case tonight. Ive been at other locations where its been twice as busy and Im constantly asked if everythings okay and I need anything. This isnt the first time this has happened either, overall Im not sure will be coming back to this location.
Great service from Crystal
Me and my husbands favorite spot! Will always recommend to close friends and family! Parking: Plenty of restaurant parking!
Endless bread, soup and salad with great service
Crystal was amazing
The food came out exactly as I wanted, and they were very good respecting the fact I have celiac disease. Crystal also gave amazing service and was so kind! Dietary restrictions: The restaurant had good gluten-free options, and were very helpful when I explained it was an allergy.
Go to place for my mom and I. Vegetarian options: Cheese cappelletti always is amazing Food : 5/5 |
Excellent service tonight! Our server Rebecca was super friendly. All the food came out in a timely manner and she never failed to offer refills. We ordered the chicken parm. Highly recommend!
crystal amazing server, so nice
Absolutely living coming here with my husband and 2 boys. Always great service and super kind staff!
I was there Monday, April 1st with a couple of friends. We were sitting at the table that looked right into the kitchen. All the time we were there we could see the chef on his red phone. Constantly. We blame him for our long wait to get our food. Service from our server couldnt be better. But seeing what we did and the long wait we will not be back.
I have been going to East Side Marios in Toronto since 2015 and experience I had at this location yesterday evening was extremely disappointing. We were greeted in by a friendly female hostess who directed us to our booth and then came our waiter - he did not even try to hide the fact that he did not want to be there. I get it these are difficult times and I myself work in customer service realize we cant have a smile on our face at all times but come on. We ordered two different pastas with a Caesar and garden salad, told our waiter three times that no bacon at all in our Caesar salad due to religious reasons and he seemed to note it down. We started eating the salads when they came and after 4-5 bites my wife found a small piece of what appeared to be bacon in her salad. She pulled out the salad from bottom of bowl and there were more pieces of bacon. We tried to get attention of our waiter who appeared to be only one actually working the tables, he came over and just said why would he do that to me. He took the salad back and brought another Caesar salad from the kitchen, this time assuring it was all good. Waiter did not have any basic customer service skills, our mood for the night was already ruined and so we just paid our bill, packed our pastas and left. Not impressed and this dinner date mishap ruined our night, not to mention the effects of their complete disregard for someones dietary and religious restrictions. Dietary restrictions: They put bacon in our salad after us telling our waiter minimum 3 times we dont eat bacon, complete disregard for someones religious beliefs and dietary restrictions

Crystal was great! Parking: Convenience Food : 4/5 |
Went here for the first time and it was pretty much what i expected, a fast food equivalent of pasta places. The food wasnt bad especially for what we paid but if im craving some good pasta this place isnt a consideration. The staff were friendly and attentive
Crystal was so lovely and great at her job! Would come back and hope to have her again! Thanks for a great lunch!!
Alana was the best server, knowledgeable and kind, made our evening!
Crystal provided professional and superb service.
Crystal was an incredible server
Briley our server was great and friendly As we were having dinner we actually saw the Manager sweeping and helping out. This Eastside Marios visit was great! Thank You all.
Worst Eastside Mario s I ve ever been to. The service is slow. The food is not as good as other locations, and in general, I would just avoid it.
Crysta was superb I made a new friend and my life has been changed. This is the best restaurant ever.
