First time dining at this location and we had exceptional service and the food was plentiful and flavorful. Asif was our server and he was very personable and made dining at this location pleasurable.
I normally don’t take the time to post reviews for chain restaurants like this, but this experience was worth writing about.

Absolute excellent service from Asif. He was a pleasant server throughout dinner. Fast, friendly, and totally committed to quick and accurate service with total energy. Next level of experience. Other chains should come and experience what service really should be from Asif. Unseen anywhere else. Absolute joy to be a patron of Asif. Photo has Asif zooming by as I mentioned! His teammates weren’t far behind either! A great evening dinner experience at this Aurora East Side Mario!

Location is run by great people that truly care about their work. Our server was Shifali, very kind and made sure we had been taken care of on a busy night. The manager (Saj) and the rest of the team are exceptional and were very welcoming! The food came out hot, and was delicious. Would definitely come again.

Asif was amazing! This is the second birthday he’s made so special for my kids. He’s just so fun, hilarious, and personable—we always have a blast when he’s our server. He’s also made my other daughter’s birthday special, too. It’s always a pleasure when we come in. Thank you so much, Asif, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable again—keep being you!

we drove here out of our way to come get dinner and we arrived at 8pm , we were told they would not serve us because they closed at 9pm , we asked why we couldn’t come in as there was an hour left until close and other east side mario’s we had been to before would sit us until 9pm.. we got the response they are a small location and don’t get many customers so they could not serve us … complete waste of time
