What kate r likes about East Side Mario's:
Went to East Side Marios on Taunton Road Oshawa before going to the movies. Hadn't been for quite a while but will definately go more often now. The food was very good and served hot. The salad was okay but what will bring me back is the service. Miguel was our server and not only was he prompt, polite and knowledgeable about the menu items, he was funny, and an absolute delight. He was such a refreshing change from... View all feedback. What Cheryl T doesn't like about East Side Mario's:
After several hours of shopping we needed a quick bite to eat. Thankfully, it wasn't busy when we arrived and we were seated quickly. We started with the Budda Bommers, they came out hot and they were light and pillowy . Essentially bite sized garlic bombs. We had the spaghetti with Meatballs, and the cheese cappelletti. Although we did enjoy them we did find that our meals came out too fast. We were still eating our... View all feedback.

Our server was adorable and friendly. She seems to really enjoy her job. The pizza we ordered was yummy!

East Side Mario's has received mixed reviews from customers. Some have had extremely negative experiences, including one person whose food was cold, served on a dirty plate, and had an argument with the manager. Another customer felt overcharged for a glass of Lemonade with too much ice and very little drink. Similar sentiments were expressed by a customer who tried the Kung pao chicken and found it horrible. However, there were also positive experiences, with customers praising the service at the Oshawa location, particularly highlighting servers like Miguel and Sydney who were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Overall, the restaurant seems to have inconsistent service and food quality, making it a hit or miss for diners.
