Our first time eating here at the Cobourg location. Walked right in with no wait time. Food was great. Rylind was our waitress. She was excellent, kept checking to make sure everything was good, if we needed anything. Definitely a pleasant experience. Restaurant was clean and the entire staff were friendly. As with East Sides, the bread and Caesar salads are unlimited and good as always. As been awhile since we ate at an East Side Mario’s, just happen to be passing through so we thought we’d try this location. We highly recommend. We love their chicken parmigiana! Good lasagna too!

The servers were great but the fact that the promotion they offered was buy one meal get one to take home was disappointing and frustrating. My brother who has a gluten allergy was not accommodated with the free meal but paid the same price as the other 4 people at our table who all received their free meals. I find this so wrong! They could have accommodated by making a bit more pasta when making his meal. This ruined my birthday dinner.
