   Its just to expensive to go to east side marios. Ordered 5 spaghetti and meatballs and 1 veal with pasta and after taxes and tip came out to $198. Better places and food for that price. I won't be going back anytime soon.

   Soup and salad were served quite quickly. We were with 2 small children (1year old and and 10 month old. The children were very hungry. I had to ask where there food was . We waited 40 minutes for the kids food !

I didn’t get the email then before I leave I mentioned it again then I call the restaurant from my car and the bartender say don’t worry I take care of it and went to talk to the hostess and I’m still waiting for the email With my points from OpenTable  I was kind of excited because I was needing these last points to get my reward now I have to go somewhere else to get it because they never sent me that email with my points I was there Friday Jan 17 11 30 reservation for 4 , mozzarella sticks were ok though

   For the last round of birthday dinners, this time with family, we decided to try East Side Mario’s. I was surprised to realize I had never been here before, despite passing by the restaurant multiple times a week. We shared Calamari al Diavolo, Mozzarella Sticks, Bruschetta Flatbread, Linguine Chicken Amatriciana, Triple Threat Parmigiana, and Mario’s Chicken Parmigiana. Overall, the food quality was surprisingly good. While the Mozzarella Sticks and pastas were slightly above standard, given the reasonable pricing and generous portions, I have no complaints. The only dish that fell short was the Bruschetta Flatbread, which tasted bland compared to the others. The Parmigianas were the highlight, especially the Triple Threat, which was a first for me. The sauces were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was prepared beautifully, earning two thumbs up. However, the star of the night was the Calamari al Diavolo. The hearty tomato broth with just the right kick of spice, combined with the peppers and calamari, made it outstanding. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind coming back just for this dish, it’s that good. If there’s a better version out there, someone needs to enlighten me. While the food was satisfying, the service left room for improvement. Our designated server was spotty, with unclear answers to our inquiries and a lack of attentiveness. Thankfully, other servers stepped in and were more accommodating, which helped salvage the experience. Despite the service hiccups, I’m glad to have discovered this place. It’s a spot where I can enjoy good food and create great memories with family.

   We reserve table at 7:00 PM and they told to leave restaurant before 8:30 because they have Christmas Party. I think it would be fair to inform us when we reserve

   Our service was AMAZING! I wish I remembered our server’s name but she had the greatest energy and was always smiling. The food was also great but our server set the tone and was so attentive through our entire meal. Wonderful experience all around.
