What Dean F likes about East Side Mario's:
We were there for lunch with my very elderly parents. The staff seemed to know my parents well and were patient with them. The food was good as I had a salmon and pasta meal while everyone else had regular spaghetti. Overall we had a good experience. One quibble, is that the music is too loud in the restaurant.

went with a group of 23 and the wait person did a good job of serving and keeping the orders straight,. Food did arrive hot and was well presented. the linguina was a little under cooked but tasted ok. View all feedback.
