Great food at a decent price. Average plate is $15-20 dollars but you’re guaranteed to leave with a full tummy.

I love going here on Sundays for the buffet. Being able to make my omelette and pasta dishes however I want is a huge deal. The mimosas as well add the finishing touch to a great meal. The parking is decent enough not a huge parking lot. The staff is friendly

East Side Mario’s always treats us nice. For Italian inspired food, it’s very good. I won’t go into details about authenticity or whatever, all I know is I always leave satisfied and happy. Service is usually pretty good, but like any restaurant there are off days and understaffed days and unexpected crowded days. The Sunday Brunch is really good and worth the wait and the cost. I’ve had many many great times at this restaurant.

Easy Side Mario’s was disappointing the last dinner we had there.The restaurant is run down and shabby looking now. The service was slow and the food was delivered poorly. We had not even eaten half of our soup when the stuffed mushrooms arrived, and right after that the entree arrived. The pasta and sauces were barely warm. The waitress did not check to see how the food was, and forgot to bring our drinks from the bar. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

Always fabulous service and delicious food. Had the wedding meatball and spinach soup. Four cheese white lasagna. Yum. It was my birthday celebration and our server brought a hot brownie, drizzled with chocolate, and piled high with whipped cream.

First time coming here the food was very delicious. I had the chicken alfredo and it was very creamy my husband had the Lasagna and it was cooked to perfection. For the dessert we choose the “Small Bite” brownie but it was very big but it qas very delicious. The reason I rate it 4 stars is because our waitress wasnr very good she screwed up our drink orders and I had asked for soup and she brought me salad instead, but other than that the food was deli way better than Olive Garden. The bread is freshly baked.

This place doesn’t even deserve a star. I went there with my family to celebrate being cancer free and it took 30 minutes,without exaggeration, to get our drinks and another additional minutes on top of the 30 for our meals. Meanwhile, we see people walking in, sit down, and get served before we even got our drinks. The service from the waitress was rude and upsetting. First and last time!!

This is the only U.S. location for a Canadian chain. Don’t know why they weren’t successful in the U.S. as I find the food better than Olive Garden. The Italian food here is New York style and the inside is nicely themed to look like Little Italy in New York. Check.out the Sunday buffet but be prepared to wait.

Meatballs were bland. The other food was good but their dishes were not clean. Im referring to the silverware and bowls. They brought me a new plate of food when I complained about the dirty plate, the second plate was also dirty. Ruins the appetite. Really high prices considering the presentation of food..
