- TPTerry Papadopoulos3 days ago5.0Had one of the best experiences at Eastside Mario’s today . Our server Katie was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and served fresh and hot . We highly recommend the Pickering location.
- AHAllison HNov 18, 20255.0My son and I recently visited this East Side Mario's and we had an amazing time. Our waitress Katie was friendly, quick and checked on us several times, which I love. We also spoke with the manager Michelle who asked us how we were doing. They were both SO kind to my son, who was having a bad day. The food was amazing as usual, but what really stood out was the conversations with our server and the manager. Both were so genuinely fantastic that we will return on days they are working so we can chat again! They both went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dinner!
- MSMike SmithNov 18, 20255.0I recently visited the Pickering Town location with my children and was thoroughly impressed. The staff demonstrated professionalism and attentiveness, and the quality of service exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this location and look forward to future visits.
- CCCecilia ChenseeNov 17, 20251.0First off, the service was excellent. The young serving lady was awesome. However, the food was not good and very disappointing. The wedding Italian soup was extremely salty. We could not eat it. The pizza was very disappointing. The gnocchi was hard as rocks. The serving lady said it should not be so hard and took it away. The replacement gnocchi was just as hard. We also left that uneaten. On a positive note, my brother in law had the roasted garlic and tomato soup, and enjoyed it. Overall, very disappointing and will never return.
