Great choices, family friendly. I had the trio. Enjoyed pasta and chicken parm but not a fan of the lasagna. The bread, salad and wedding soup were really good but was very full by the time Entree arrived. Desserts were nothing to write home about. Overall, good quantity of food for $$, great service and a great atmosphere for kids!

Pasta was cold, sent it back and the dish came back still cold. We have been at this Resturant before when the pasta was cold and didn't have any flavour.
Simone
Pasta was very watery and chicken sandwich was not made as requested. Then remade and even worse.

Service was excellent food was very good everyone loves the all you can eat soup and salad. We are a family of 9 and usually go about 4-6 weeks. I always find the noise level all little loud.

Very friendly and accommodating experience. Service was excellent. Great children's menu including their "special" drinks. Our 7-year-old grandson was even entertained and sat in his seat the whole time (not our usual experience). We will definitely be back.

We came for the kids New Year's Eve party, and to say I was impressed with being an understatement. The restaurant had thought of everything! My kids had an outstanding time. We will certainly be back next year! Happy 2025!

Pickering East Sides is always been our favourite location. Excellent atmosphere and the soup is always served to perfection.

East Side Mario’s feels like a warm hug for anyone who loves classic Italian-American comfort food. The meal starts on a high note with their garlic home loaf—soft, buttery, and wonderfully aromatic. It’s simple but oh-so-satisfying, especially paired with a generous dollop of creamy butter.
The tomato soup was rich, hearty, and just the right level of tangy, a cozy start before diving into the mains. The linguine seafood diavolo was packed with shrimp and mussels in a flavorful tomato sauce, with a mild kick that didn’t overwhelm. The spaghetti and meatballs were comforting and familiar, topped with a snowfall of grated cheese that added just the right touch. The chicken parmigiana, served alongside creamy fettuccine alfredo, was hearty and satisfying—a dish that feels like it’s made to share with family.
And then came the tiramisu, the sweet finale. Light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just a hint of coffee, it felt like the dessert equivalent of a warm smile.
If you’re looking for a place that serves generous portions, friendly vibes, and flavors that feel like home, East Side Mario’s is a delightful choice. It’s not just a meal—it’s a happy, comforting experience.
We had a great experience here today! The food was delicious as always and service was very quick and pleasant (thank you Danielle!) we can't wait to come back!
Erica stayed on top of all of our needs. Refills on soups, salads and bread. Even our drinks were refilled without having to ask.

Don’t say you’re open til 10 when your doors are locked at 945. Change the hours to reflect reality so people aren’t rolling up from far away to be greeted by a locked door.

Our server - Kim, was amazing! It was my first time at East Side Mario’s and she made it a wonderful experience. The food was great, Kim made sure to check up on us frequently which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this place and if you get Kim as your server, know you’re in great hands!
