East Side Mario's

My family recently had an experience when we could go for a group dinner following a funeral service. We had an excellent experience from the moment I placed my first phone call to see if they could handle our group to the time we left the restaurant.

The managers who help me plan the event were great to work with. We got to pick six different entrées from the main menu which our guests of almost 50 people could choose from. Family style salad bowls were brought to our table along with bread. The managers made sure that there were plenty of staff to take care of our large group. They got our drink orders delivered to our table very quickly and took our dinner orders in a timely fashion as well.

The service did a very good job of making sure we had refills of soft drinks and tea and other drinks. Our food came out fairly quickly considering how big our group was. Everybody was super friendly and we had a delicious dinner.

They do have a banquet room in the restaurant but our group was a little bit too big so they sat us at the back of the restaurant which worked out perfectly. This is a fairly large restaurant which means they can accommodate A variety of sizes of groups.

I had never eaten dinner here but I enjoyed it so much that four of us are having dinner again here this evening.

Our meal was incredible from the bread, salad, and the entrees. I had chicken picatta and my guest has sausage and pepper penne pasta. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and moist inside. The lemon butter sauce and capers was loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes and artichokes. The sausage and pepper penne dish has some spice to it, and looked delicious. I had to get a to-go as well to take my husband his chicken fettuccine alfredo. The to go salad was nearly as large as the one the two of us split. And he got a fresh load of bread. The only thing keeping them from 5 stars was the ice tea - like water, and the waitress who was not very attentive.

Service was good and fast
Minestrone soup was good, and big
I ordered the combo with chicken parm, tortellini and lasagna. Had minimal flavor.
My husband ordered veal parm, he also said it didn't have flavor.
For dessert ordered cappuccino-they no longer have. So I got a decaf coffee and we shared chocolate tower dessert.
The coffee was ice cold and the cake was very stale.
I hope they improve their quality or they will be out of business soon...

First visit here for a birthday party and I was pleasantly surprised. It was spacious and comfortable. The food was fresh and good. I'd for sure make a return visit here. The only con was the server seemed overwhelmed with servicing a large party.

My fiancé and I went over the weekend at an odd time on Sunday, 2pm. I was worried because last time I went I didn't enjoy the pasta. However, Sunday they really redeemed themselves in my mind. We started with the Mario's nachos. If you can imagine what Italian nachos would be it was exactly that. I loved it! Would get again. I got the seafood pasta and it came out hot. The pasta and sauce was very tasty. The only thing I didn't like about it was the seafood itself. The scallops were small and the shrimp kinda rubbery. Mussels were good though. Worth it for the price of the lunch portion. The service was prompt and friendly. I think 1 Star is a harsh assessment.

I decided to meet a friend at a restaurant in the area. I decided on Italian. I have not been here in years so I decided on this as my selection. There is plenty of parking in the rear and side lots. We were seated pretty quickly on entering. The restaurant is vibrant and colorful. I ordered a good margarita while waiting and ate some of the bread. You have to watch it on the bread because it will fill you up. You also get a nice serving of salad or soup. If one person gets a salad you can share. I was unsure of what I was going to get but the waitress recommended a few things. I ordered the Salmon Florentine. It was a good selection as it had angle hair pasta and my favorite veggie spinach. The mixture tasted great. They also give you a good portion. The mixture of sauce, salmon, pasta and spinach was a good combination. The waitress was also attentive and friendly. I liked it here in the past and that has not changed. I will definitely look forward to coming back.

Huge portions and great tasting entrees. Everything comes with unlimited soup or salad which is a big plus. The parm is uniquely topped with a spinach artichoke dip under the cheese. Kids loved their wood oven pizza and our family liked the chicken parmigiana too. The side of pasta was a little boring. The menu says meals come with "garlic loaf" but it tasted like regular bread to me. Love the Little Italy interior, feels like having dinner on Sesame Street. I was treated to a free slice of dense classic chocolate cake and a song for my birthday!

A great Italian restaurant! The fresh bread is almost good enough to come in for by itself, but of course I always need a cup of the Italian wedding soup (best anywhere around here). They have a patio, lunch specials, and great staff. You can't go wrong with any of the pastas, but my daughter wasn't a fan of the kids pizza (we were told they use a different kind of dough than the adult pizzas). *Be aware of the bocce ball drinks that they have - 1 & done with how strong I felt they were!

I went to this restaurant with my husband on our anniversary on May 15, 2018. The food is amazing, and the service was excellent. We both got a dinner that had three entrees in one, including lasagna and tortellini. This was on top of bread, salad, and the best spinach and artichoke dip I've ever had. We also got a free dessert for our anniversary, and ended up ordering 2. The cannoli and the tiramisu. Needless to say, we had enough leftover for dinner and dessert the next night.

The decor is fascinating, and a lot of fun. Our table was under the Brooklyn Bridge. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it.

Great service. Try the ribs with Mario potatoes.Marboli wrap and Chicken picatta are also favs.
Chicken wings may be the best in Wayne county.
