Shout out to Betsy, our waitress today. Quick, organized. We dropped in for lunch, tried the giant Ravioli, delicious. Really appreciated the quick service.

I went with my friends! Derek took us, he was such nice and sweet person :) His energy made all of us happy 😊 also, the food was so nice! Today's seasonal soup was cream potato, it was definitely my favorite! I haven't met this much great soup in Toronto before. The pasta was nice too, I made my own and maybe I shouldn't add the cheese 😅 but it's nice! Maybe I'll visit there again in near future!

One of my favourite places to come for consistent food quality and flavour! I tend to get lucky and have the same server Betsy! Not only does she remember me and how I order 😊 she is always so polite and kind. We need more servers like her in the hospitality industry. I always get the exact same pasta when I come and it’s always so good!

We had an awesome dinner at East Side Mario’s! I believe the name of our waitress was Stephanie and she was amazing — super friendly, fast, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out hot and fresh, and those endless salad and garlic loafs were perfect as always. The whole place had a great vibe, and everyone seemed happy to be there. Portions are generous, and the service really makes the difference. Thanks Stephanie and the team for such a great night — we’ll definitely be back!
