    East Side Mario's is a good local chain restaurant, this one being located in the Masonville area of the city. Specializing in Italian cuisine, their menu offers almost everything from pizza's to pasta's. Although they aren't usually to busy during the week, weekends and special events (i.e Valentine's Day, Mother Day, etc.) tend to be pretty busy so you might want to call ahead or book a reservation.

    I have eaten here many times over the past couple years and the food and service has always been very consistent. If they're not booked up you are usually seated almost right as you walk in the door, the wait staff are very friendly and fast, although there has been times I wanted more bread or salad and they were no where to be seen. I usually just stick to "my usual" the sausage & pepper penne which I personally really like, and not to mention the all you can eat caesar salad and bread which I am usually 2/3 full on by the time my meal arrives anyways. I have tried other things though like the veal parmigiana, and the seafood linguini which both are also really good!

    All in all it's a great place for family and friends Whether your in the mood for pasta, pizza, or any other italian specialty, East Side Mario's is the inexpensive place to go with fast and friendly service, oh and the food is good too!

    I am still in love with Easte Side Marios, but at this location last night the service was great and the food was wonderful. I didnt like being ingnored for 15mins at the bar to get a drink while my date and I waited for a table. I also didnt like hearing from the wait staff that the new owner is trying to save a few bucks by not allowing people to share their "all you can eat free bread and salad" anymore. Only some dishes come with the all you can eat bread and salad. I had to pay extra for the all you can eat bread and salad, in order for us to eat together 1 bowl of salad and split 2 loafs of their bread.  I miss how it used to be :( forshame new owner forshame

    Give me cheese capelleti or give me death. I am a lover of East Side's and this location hasn't disappointed me.

    I remember going once with a friend and if anything it seemed like our service was too fast. I think that's the only time I've ever thought that in my entire dining out 'career'. I'm not complaining necessarily, but there are times when you want to savor the company, conversation and food. They has us in and out so quickly that it definitely made those three things more challenging.
