What Crystel Ernser doesn't like about East Side Mario's:
Dinner is delicious, but we didn't appreciate them trying to sit us at a table way too small. We were a party of 8 that they tried to squeeze at a table for 6. They clearly overbooked on open table. But once we were moved to a proper table, half an hour after our reservation time, everything went well. Dinner was good, portions were generous. View all feedback. What Alvena Beahan likes about East Side Mario's:
They do not allow employees cork your unused wine to take home.. This is the first place we have ran into this .. will not go back because of the managers policy .. View all feedback.

Food was almost inedible and cost $20 per adult and $13 per kid. The staff was great. They put up with the kids.

This restaurant is very expensive and food is not good at all. Food is worth maybe half the price. Service is super slow as well. Don’t really get all the good...

Would like it better if the noodles have a harder texture. Like the bread the best out of everything, perfect taste and texture.
