Reviews for East Side Mario's in Waterloo, ON
My husband and I decided to visit East Side Mario's a couple Friday's ago. We really enjoyed our meal. It was hot and super... tasty. All of the employees that we encountered were friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Read more
Our first visit did not dissapoint. Our server was very fast and very friendly! We got our garlic bread right away. If you are... on a budget and want to enjoy some Italian this is the right place. I enjoyed my tomato soup and hubby his cesar salad. Plentyfor sure. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and I wish the mear had some seasoning. I believe it was half a chicken breast andthe thickest part was harder to eat as it was dry and no taste. The pasta that came with it...I wish it had more sauce but itwas good in general. Hubby ordered a bacon carbonara with a bacon wrapped scallop skewer. The pasta was nice but not impressedabout the scallops. We went to the patio and it was nice to enjoy our meal outside. We would certainly go back as I would loveto try other items in the menu. Too bad we did not get the name.of our server for a nice shut out!! She was great! Read more
Update from last visit July 2nd 2022: Had a really bad experience this time around. The audacity of the waitress to blatantly... ask for tip. We go to this ESM all the time, atleast twice a month. We always tip, but this time our bill was over 100 dollarsand decided not to tip. The waitress blatantly asked us why we were not tipping (in front of ours family and friends). Ithought tipping is a choice. Anyways they would be losing business if they don't welcome customers who SOMETIMES decide not totip (considering we got to this ESM atheist 2 times a month, if not more). It's their choice.

We ordered a family feast, which was good for the most part.. the only complaints we had was the salad was obviously not fresh... ???? on the bottom of the container there was juices from the browning lettuce… we threw it out… very hit or miss withpickup. Read more
Great food plus a great customer servive. Staff is very friendly. I would suggest go for any of the drinks and ask for it to be... made virgin. If you like spicy ask the server how can you make the pizza and pasta spicy and you will be left with a suprise.???? Read more
It was our second time going to this East Side Mario location and their service was really good. Our table ordered a Jumbo... Shrimp Alfredo, a Spaghettini Primavera with Goat Cheese, a Linguine Chicken Tetrazzini and a build your pasta. Their food wasreally good and their salads and soup were amazing too. We requested a Caesar Salad to go and our server brought us a nicecontainer with sauce and croutons packed separately so it wouldn’t become soggy. East Side Mario’s is definitely the placeto come when you’re on a budget and want to enjoy large portions of pasta or pizza with AYCE soups and salads! Read more
It’s east side mario after all! If you have reasonable expectations and a budget to take care of, it’s great to have all you... can eat Italian. I agree it’s not authentic or homemade but this location is a fun place to be. Nice vibe, busy on a Saturdaynight and cheerful staff. We had a reservation so it was very smooth getting in and finding a table. I was told that without areservation, the wait is about 1.5 hours long. We had a couple of pastas and a mains along with their unlimited soup and salad.Everything tasted well and the server was very attentive. Overall, a great dinner outing! Read more
If you go Saturday night, you’ll wait half an hour for a table. Any this is not the place to bring someone strictly... dairy-free, as the menu is pretty much bread and cheese. But the pasta and salads are great!! My favourite is the cheesecappelletti and garden salad. And if you have Scene points you can use them to pay! ???? Read more
