In the Beginning

We opened East Side Mario’s in 1987 to bring a little bit of Italy to our guests. We wanted to show you the hospitality and passion for great food that Italians are known for around the world – and have a little fun doing it. We’ve evolved over the years, but always with a focus on giving you delicious Italian meals at great value. Good times and great meals…that’s East Side Mario’s!

Come empty, leave full! We are committed to creating dining experiences for our guests that capture the youthful and fun expression of today’s Italian lifestyle. We are the Home of All-You-Can-Eat soup, salad and garlic homeloaf. And, we deliver amore in everything we do!

Family First

If you know Italians, you know that family comes first. At East Side Mario’s, your family is our family! Most of our restaurants are family-owned and operated, and everything we do in our restaurants is to create a better experience for you, our extended family. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just a family dinner out, we know that you come to East Side Mario’s to make your occasion special, and we work hard to exceed your expectations.
