Ordered take out. Food arrived fast! The chicken parm was tasty! And it was a massive serving—it could easily feed two and I... feel terrible most is going to waste as I’m only here for one night. To be honest I’d rather see smaller sizes and the pricereduced. I don’t know who upset the cheesecake boxer but they obviously weren’t having a good day. I wasn’t sure if it wasmy cheesecake or slop that arrived in the box. Definitely won’t be ordering that again! Read more

What can I say. We were in the area and decided to go to East Side Mario's. The thing we like about Mario's is that you get all... you can eat bread, salad and soup with your food. I say be careful the bread warm with garlic butter is very good and the saladand soup will fill you up very tasty salad was fresh... you still get your entree . The entree was also very good. You can endup very full and satisfied. The staff were polite and our order came very fast. Read more

This place has changed over the years regarding the all you can eat pasta. But the inside of the restaurant is the same. The... age shows a lot too, the seats are peeling and pretty gross looking. The food was delicious though , and the service was alsogreat :) Read more

It's honestly been years since I came to the restaurant because I thought it was closed, however the experience is still the... same as I remember. You still get "all you can eat" salad and bread. The meal came out fairly quickly, however it wasn't veryhot, was more lukewarm. Plus the server and the manager kept coming around the table every 5-10 minutes asking if everything wasokay. I get that if you've been there for an hour or more, you want to turn over the table but we literally just got there andfelt basically rushed until the end of the meal. I like to come to restaurants for two reasons: 1. The food and 2. I can have aconversation with someone and enjoy the ambiance and atmosphere. Now with each entree being $22 a plate, you'll end up droppingaround $60 for two entrees and soft drinks. It's probably pressure from corporate, so I don't envy the management for beingbetween a rock and a hard place. We're all getting squeezed at work for more "together". Read more

A night out for some delicous pasta is always a good night. I don't usually go to chain restaurants but I do enjoy change now... and again. The atmosphere is a fun look at with the Italian culture showca sing around the place, ie) the flags and the hangingvespa. The staff are friendly and patient but you have to be that in return. Our server forgot about us a couple of times eventhough it wasn't busy. I had to ask her for another water a couple of times. The food was delicious! I ordered the make yourown pasta with spaghettini , arribiatta sauce, mushrooms and primavera vegetables. The only problem was they forgot mymushrooms. I told them this and asked the server to take it off my bill which she thankfully did. The food is flavorful andcooked to perfection. I love my pastas to be good and saucy. The salad had a good amount of dressing. And the dessert isperfect for my friend's birthday. It's delivery was with a song and its taste was satisfying to our sweet-tooths. All-in-all,this place isn't bad especially if you are hungry and budget-concious. The service was a little lacking but everybody makesmistakes. It also didn't help to have this stupid fruit fly bugging us. Never-the-less, I recommend this place to anyone whohappens to be in the area. Bonne Apettito Read more

With one location, it was always too late to go because we live on the opposite side of the city. We lucked out when we found... this location by chance. The weather outside was perfect! We had a small meal accompanied by cold drinks. They had a 2 for $10special, so I decided to order both stone fruit and raspberry blush flavour drink to try them. Both had fruity, distinctivelygood taste. Our server was nice and sweet as well which sums up the whole experience. We’ll be back for sure! Across the wayis a theatre so you can always finish your day with a movie if you're up for it. Read more
