Growing up in an Italian household I have tried...
Growing up in an Italian household I have tried just about every Italian dish from every Italian restaurant out there...until now. At East Side Mario's the pasta selection on the menu was quite impressive. The garlic bread was fresh, the pasta cooked to perfection and the service was fast. This place is perfect for Italian food...we had a great time there. I guess their slogan is true : "East Side Mario's East Side Mario's Hey Bada Boom Bada Bing"!!!
Eastside Mario's is the place to go for some good...
Eastside Mario's is the place to go for some good cheap Americanized Italian food. I reccommend the spit-roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. Seafood linguini is great as well, and you can build your own pasta if you're a bit picky. May I suggest: angel hair pasta, bolognese sauce and Italian sausage, wonderful!
ESM is really not authentic Italian food. Its chain restaurant average and pricy for its quality. If you want good Italian food, you wont get it there. Though I will give them credit for good Ceasar salad and great service. Being an Italian and raised with that cuisine,I have to laugh.....

We were seated at bar because we wanted a booth seat, There appeared to be a few unused booths in the restaurant but it didn't seem like a big deal so we sat in the bar booth. Our watitress was the bar tender, and seemed to forgot about us. Our food was cold and very bad. The fries were uneatable. I would have told her if she was around to tell. After a long wait for our bill, another waitress gave us our bill. It was apparent that the fries were not eaten or barely touched, but no "how was it"? I didn't have the energy to complain at that time, left a 12 cent tip (not that was deserving but I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for them to come back with my change) We used to like this restaurant, now it will be a while before we come back again... if ever... at least at the Queenston Rd location.
