Eastside Mario's was on the menu for Friday night. We arrived around five o'clock, to beat the crowd.
We were greeted by three young ladies with a smile, I asked if we could have a booth. No problem, and we were escorted to a nice area with a booth.
First up, was our waitress, her name is Polly. If you get her, you will have fantastic service. She is upbeat and has an accent, it is either, Australian or English. So, you will know if you have her. No worries about your service if you do get her.
Well after much deliberation over the menu, which has a lot of choices. We decided on, Lasagna, Linguine Chicken Amatriciana and Orecciette Genevose Alfredo, wow, all this came with all you can eat Garlic Bread and Salad of Choice, of course we choose, Caesar.
And the winner at the table was, for me the Caesar Salad, which they add fresh ground Parmesan cheese until you say stop and fresh ground pepper. We had two huge bowls of salad and many loafs of fresh warm bread.
Oh yes, I do like it when it is free refills on the drinks are brought to the table almost automatically. The main course's came, myself, I liked the Orecciette Genevose Alfredo best, that is quite a mouth full to say!
It had a light sauce, lots of flavour and the pasta it came with was like little shells. This was by far the favourite at the table. Now, don't get me wrong, all was eaten from the three dishes.
We had no room for dessert, but if you do go,Polly recommended the Peanut Butter Crunch Pie, I am not sure that is the right name, but you will know it when you see it on the menu. That one I will have to save for the next time.
Polly also came over several times to make sure everything was ok with our meal and that we did not need anything else.
To top off the evening, at the end, I believe the manager came around to the table to ask how our evening was.
I have to give Eastside Mario's a strong five, for the customer service alone. It was above and beyond any that I have had over the recent months while yelping.
The food and the atmosphere is fun and satisfying. Keep in mind when going, if you are there on a weekend, expect a line. When we finished the place was full and people were waiting for tables. All Good Though! and worth the wait.1 Previous Review: Show all »

As you would expect, Eastside Mario's is all about the pasta. The menu has lots to offer. Prices are moderately high for what you get. And I find I stuff myself with ceasar salad and garlic bread before my entree arrives, and I always end up with a doggie bag. Not neccessarily a bad thing, but I do always kick myself when it happens.
Oh, and they have a patio which is great for those sunny summer days. -

East Side Mario's is where you go when you want familiar food at a reasonable price. You can be virtually guaranteed that your meal at an East Side Mario's will be the same time and again, with no unexpected surprises.
East Side Mario's offers a relaxing atmosphere if you go at off-rush times.
We almost always get the soup/salad and pasta meal - unlimited garlic loaf with either salad or soup, and then the entrée. I'll admit that I often fill up on caesar salad and then take half the entrée home with me for the next day. At East Side Mario's, this is encouraged! Not only are the entrées in massive portions, but the salad (or soup, if you prefer) is all-you-can-eat.
My favourite is the Linguine Chicken Tettrazini or the Linguine Chicken Amatriciana - delicious. We never have any trouble deciding what to eat when we hit up East Side Mario's.
This Mario's is run well, with efficient and attentive servers. The management has checked in with us on a number of occasions, proving that there is a care for detail in the manner they run the restaurant.
Even kids do well at East Side Mario's, with a dedicated kids' menu containing down-sized versions of all the menu favourites. -

Ok this terrible but I went back again this week for my birthday dinner as this was my pick. Now the funny thing is that this time that place was packed and I mean packed. There was at least 12 people waiting for tables.
Well organized and efficient with seating we were at a table with a loaf of garlic bread in about 15 mins. I have to give a hats off to this place as the service is amazing. Fast and very attentive Katie was we were both impressed.
We started off with the Cesar salad and chicken wings which were delicious. Big and had one of the best sauces almost like a hot/sweet very tasty. And after 2 loafs of that tasty garlic bread we then had supper. The BF had Lasagna and I had my pasta with chicken with fresh grated cheese on top.
Let me tell you buy the time we left we were stuffed and it was about a $55 dollar mean but it was truly great and the service was fantastic!2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

Not a huge fan of Eastside Mario's, but if your gonna go, and your in HRM then I highly recommend you go to this location. Don't ask me how, but the food is 10x better at this location.
