As for service, we were greeted and seated, had the manager come over to take our order, and then the server who asked us for our order. The salad was the usual, and bread was great, as for our food, lets just say the spaghetti a la bolognese was greassy and not very tasteful. Now, I know why I had... More

We went in to try their lunch new menu, you can't go wrong with that kind of price! Under $10 per person for a sandwich and fresh salad! Salad alone costs roughly $5 at a grocery store, here you are being served, c'mon. In my opinion people have raised their expectations way too high from restaurant industry, without realizing how...

We were able to walk to this restaurant from our hotel. Had never eaten at this restaurant chain before. Even though it was peak dining time, we were seated immediately. Our waitress was one of the best we've ever had. She brought our drinks quickly and our food, which was delicious, promptly. This was much appreciated since we had had... More

Don't bother to train your staff, maintain the restaurant or make your guests feel at home. Don't bother making sure that your guests are being well looked after either - they will just keep spending their money and you will get rich. We had to wait while a hostess cleared a table for us, even though it was late afternoon... More

ESM's also tend to be the same anywhere you go and this one was as expected. Had a little wait as the tables were full. This ESM's should check the condition of the 'wait' bench. It is about to break and injure someone. Food and service were as predicted. Would visit again!

During our week stay in Collingwood with our two kids ages 5 and 10 we went to this East Side Mario's twice. The first time the service was very slow with meal taking over an hour to be served, but the meal was good. The server did her best to make up for the slow service by providing us with... More

East Side Marios - an "Italian" eatery with fun, comfortable, family friendly decor and kind-hearted staff doing their absolute best to make the experience a positive one. But why do we go to restaurants and pay money - the food! A restaurant cannot continue to survive if the food is not what it should be and the East Side Marios... More

If you are in the Collingwood area, East Side Mario's Restaurant offers good Italian food and plenty of it for a good price. The all-you-can-eat salad and garlic bread, served with some items on the menu, adds great value to your meal. We had the Spaghettini and Meatballs and Seafood Linguine and both were delicious. Our server was friendly and... More
