East Side Mario’s never disappoints, but this visit was next level. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The staff were insanely friendly, attentive, and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time there.
The food? Unreal. Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavour. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was rich and comforting, and the portions were huge — definitely got my money’s worth. And don’t even get me started on the unlimited salad and bread… dangerous in the best way.
Service was fast without feeling rushed, and the whole place just had that classic, cozy Italian restaurant vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. You can tell the team actually cares about the experience they’re giving people.
Overall, East Side Mario’s is a 10/10 for food, service, and atmosphere. Whether you’re going with friends, family, or on a date, this is the place. I’ll 100% be coming back soon.

Really good food. Great service and the drinks were good too.
I recommend the chicken and shrimp scampi and the calamari.
