East Side Mario’s - Fredericton, New Brunswick

We went to East side for supper tonight and I feel the need to warn others of our experience. I see other similar comments and wish I would have checked this first! Our first red flag should have been that we were told we had to wait for a seat ... even though there were many empty tables. We ordered our drinks and food, got the drinks and bread nothing seemed out of sorts. 40 mins later our waitress said let me check on your food? After an hour of waiting the food finally arrived. My food was barely warm I returned it pretty much immediately (without much of an apology) She did offer to remake it but I did not wish to wait another hour. Then I decided to try a piece of my son’s pizza and was also barely warm. Onto my other child’s chicken nuggets also cold. My husbands meal however extremely fresh and hot! When she asked how everything was she said well his is hot, referring to my husbands meal. I believe the waitress already knew the food was sitting for a long time and I can’t belive they thought it was suitable to serve to us. They did comp my meal and discount the kids but this is warning to others to avoid it!!! Don’t waste your time and money what a terrible experience Read more

It was very busy but we were served in reasonable time with friendly staff and an amazing meal.

a really nice restaurant, food is unreal, service it top notch, the smiles accompany the great food.

The pizza impresses with its well-balanced crust and rich cheese, perfectly complemented by a vibrant tomato sauce. The mozzarella sticks are a crispy, cheesy joy, paired excellently with a zesty marinara. For dessert, the triple chocolate mousse is a triumph, layering different chocolate intensities into a luxuriously smooth experience.

Great choice if you are craving for pasta. The home made breads, salads, or soups are all you can eat. Calamari Al Diavolo is a must appetizer to try. The place can be crowded for Friday night. It is a good idea to book a table before hand. Parking is plenty.
