Tonight we had a wonder night at East Side Mario's with the family, what made the night even better was our wonderful waitress (aka Meggan). She was very kind, friendly and patient with our many request. She treated us like gold if you end up going there hope you get her. Many thanks

Poor service. Had to ask twice for everything. Ordered hot water- barely luke warm. Had to wait 5 minutes for refills- after initial request. Biggest complaint waiter didn’t know how to charge according to the advertised special. After 20 minutes of waiting talked to the manager, which was pointless. Disappointing meal. Will we go here again?

It's evident that this place operated by hardworking people and it shows.
I have come here numerous times and they're usually busy. The service is great, the food is good and the value is good.
It's also super refreshing to go to a restaurant and actually have the interior stand out. I love looking at all the stuff they have on their walls.

Haven't been in years. Monday is all you can eat pasta. I had the platter. the chicken parm was crispy and tender. the lasagna was cheesy and hearty. the worst was the fettuccine Alfredo. kind of had a store bought taste, and was our least favorite which is odd as we love Alfredo. the Italian wedding soup is always a winner. our waiter Ethan was very pleasant and attentive checking in with us regularly. we were surprised by our visit as the food was much better than we remember it to be. we will be returning for sure.
