Food is good but could have more seasoning it felt a bit bland, with cheese thrown on top. Anyways the soup was amazing and the service was great, ambiance was okay kids were screaming and crying but that isn't the restaurant fault I guess. read more

What a difference a couple of weeks make. We decided to try ESM Moncton again, and we are so glad we did. Our server was Maddy (*****). She greeted us promptly, took our drink order and gave us the time we requested. We ordered Caesar Salad and garlic breadsticks to start and Scallops Carbonara, GIGANTICO Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Lasagna. HINT: If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you ask your waiter/waitress to order the entree's when you get your salad/soup. The food was delicious, the service (refills/dinner checks/parmesan) was prompt, courteous and friendly. We had enough left over to have 3 more meals later! Based on our meal and service today, I would gladly recommend ESM for Lunch or Dinner read more

East Side Mario's - Moncton - Our waitress, Maddy, was a Rockstar! Last visit here, we loved the food, bit hated the service. Thanks to Maddy, our meal was perfect. - Pizza Near Me - Moncton, New Brunswick

If you like poor quality ingredients with high empty calories, this is the spot. I came here because my sister is visiting and it is her favourite place to eat. I would never personally suggest coming here. Most people at the table complained about their dish. I had the salmon and it was tiny and dry. My mother had scallops and she hated it. I think the best comment was the Italian Wedding Soup. My mother and I both got garden salad and how you screw that up is beyond me. The one benefit is that I do enjoy the customer service. P.S. clean the washrooms. P.S.S. There is gum stuck under your tables. read more

This place is bad food was horrible service was decent but the burger was disgusting it was dry small and the meat was old and uncooked and this was the lettuce on the burger DONT RECOMMEND AT ALL read more

East Side Mario's - Moncton - Pizza Near Me - Moncton, New Brunswick

East Side Mario's is a chain. They have recently renovated the restaurant and taken away some of the New York kitsch (which I enjoyed) and made the restaurant look a little classier. There are 2 areas of the restaurant, a bar area with TVs and then booths and tables in the main dining areas. The servers are absolutely fantastic. They are nice and friendly. I eat here often and it's very rare that we've had a server who wasn't all smiles and friendly/helpful. The prices are reasonable which makes it a great spot for lunch or supper. I am a creature of habit and I always order the same thing. When you know what you like, you know what you like. I have had a couple of other dishes but mainly, I stick with the make your own pasta. I get the spaghettini with Arabiatta sauce. Sometimes I add chicken on top but mostly I don't. This is a spicy sauce. I can tell when it's going to be very hot just by looking at it. Different chefs mean that it isn't always identical however it's close enough to be consistent. Sometimes I get a Greek salad on the side which I enjoy, sometimes not. Meals also come with a small loaf of bread. The servers also offer fresh grated cheese and fresh grated pepper for your salad or pasta dishes. I don't take either but it is a nice touch. The restaurant used to be quite noisy but I have noticed since the renovations that it is much less noisy now. It can get pretty busy in there at times and seems to be a popular spot for work groups, especially teachers at the end of the school year. The location is great as well if you want to do some shopping after you eat as there are many nearby stores. It's also in the same area as a movie theater so dinner and a movie is not only an easy option but it's also something they offer on their menu. This is a great casual restaurant with consistent good food for a reasonable price. I have been to East Side Mario's in Saint John and it took forever to get my food (the Moncton location is always quick), it was the wrong order and it was terrible. So while East Side may be a chain, you shouldn't judge it based on that or on the food you've had in other locations. I highly recommend it and it is one of my top choices for lunches with friends. read more

Never disappoints! My bf got the fettuccini Alfredo and and I got the spaghettini and meatballs and it was so good and filling and we ordered take out so they definitely give you enough food to fill you. The Caesar salad looked disappointing but when I assembled it it was delicious. I love their Caesar sauce! And the Italian wedding soup also looked disappointing but didn't disappoint in flavour. Favourite Italian restaurant! read more

Got the baked penne alfredo with added grilled chicken. Overall not very impressed. Ingredients somewhat low quality. Could make better pasta at home. Also not worth the price for added chicken as the pieces were small and hard to even find at first. read more

If you like lots of poor quality food this is the spot for you. Shitty ingredients and cooked with zero pride.

So Moncton is a pretty small town. Smaller towns means limited choices. However, if you're craving Italian... go here. East Side Mario's is the American equivalent to Olive Garden meets Chili's. It's not that bad. I was with a large group of people so I was able to sample from everyone's dish and there wasn't one thing that was bad. There were a couple of dishes I got to taste and I liked it a lot. 1) Rotisserie Chicken was excellent. If I come back, I'm getting this; and 2) Seafood Linguini. I ordered the fish and chips. Why? I have no idea. It was good but don't get this when you go to an Italian place. Get dessert. Cheesecake. You won't regret it. Service was excellent. Our waitress was extremely patient and friendly. But who's NOT friendly in Moncton Canada? read more

Food is very good. Service is OK. If you're in the mood for "American Italian" food, then this is the place.

Terrible service, burnt chicken. Croutons on a salad when I said none of them. Never refilled pop, salad, soup or bread read more

Excellent service as always. Waitresses and greeters were very polite. Meals were delicious! Will be back again for sure!!

Best place to eat as long as the parents can keep a muzzle on their undisciplined brats. But it was my pleasure to scare them into acting polite and appropriate. :) your welcome iPhone mom read more

I ordered food for a workplace party. The food arrived after an hour and a half late. I was promised the order would be free. I accepted the offer. The refund still hasn't been issued after waiting. I called and they said will need to call general manager on Saturday because for "some reason" it can't be done there and the first manager I spoke to didn't void it. So I called Saturday and was told it was refunded. It's now Wednesday and still no refund issued on my card. I hate being lied too. Also the food wasn't even good. It was bland. Unappetizing. All three dishes. I wouldn't be returning and I'm still waiting for my money back. read more

Used to be my favourite place to go, last few times they seem to be very disorganized, empty booths not ready when requested, not cleaned off, the waitress who was great explained that they are understaffed, but it looked to me as a manager of a different industry that they looked under managed, and oh yeah, the dressing on the house salad was weak, probably a corporate decision but a bad one. And also, which I probably should have led with, a big ass hair on my wife's plate, although they replaced it with no charge to her. read more

I've been at East Side Marios once and it was an OK experience. Don't get it wrong because the food was good and the service was excellent, but the ambiance was not what I was looking for at that moment. It was loud, and you almost had to scream for the other person to hear you. If you're looking for a place to eat on a date, I would say "don't go there if you want to get to know the other person..." :-) read more

Worst service/house salad ever! I don't consider a head of lettuce quartered with olives and banana peppers a salad as well I had to ask for a plate for my salad/bread and the service was pathetic for the cost of food. Never again will I go here read more

My sister and dad ordered alfredo, the noodles were barely cooked and the whole dish was cold. I ordered chicken fingers and fries.... it was just average/bad I guess. The fries were bad, no flavor or crunch--the chicken fingers were dry and needed to be drenched with gravy to be flavorful. My mother and I had to constantly ask our waitress for refills on our salad and soups, and she always forgot to ask if we wanted any parmesan. My sister wanted a refill on her iced tea and it took 10 minutes for it to come, and she was already finished her meal at that point. read more

I'm a big fan of chicken Alfredo, but their sauce was very disappointing. It's unbearably runny and does not have much flavour. They should definitely look into getting a new recipe! My pasta usually came out somewhat cold. The chicken as well was very chewy and I knew it was not fresh chicken breast. On the plus side, their free bread is always hot and delicious! read more

This was one time a great place to eat , but over time the quality went downhill each time i went there.My wife and i ate there last night and it was the final time for us, it took forever to get our meal and by the time i got my fav spaghetti and meatballs it had been setting under the lights for so long my meatballs were all dried up the sauce was dried up also. It will be the last time for us. Baci Italia is much better. read more

TERRIBLE!!!! The restaurant is too loud, the seats are too close together and the servers are snotty and rude.

We've been long time regulars. We used to enjoy sitting and eating in the bar, before their renovation. It had a different ambiance then the restaurant and the Liberty Hours were our favorite time to drop in. After the renos, it lost it's cozy, relaxed feel. Food is still good and we still enjoy the half price appetizers. We had good service from our server. read more

We visited this location on Friday with my family along with my sons sports team. Service was very good. Working with teams I'm sure is tough but they handled it very well! Served our drinks quickly and took orders efficiently! At our table we ordered: bruschetta pizza which had lots of flavour and teased good. Could have been crispier on the bottom but really no complaints. Chicken parmesan which my husband said was hot and had lots of flavour He did note that he wished the chicken was fresher. I am thinking that it is a boxed frozen chicken patty so this is probably the reason but overall it was good. We had both the garden salad and Caesar salads at our table. I ate the Caesar which was an average Caesar salad and tasted as it should. I think a little less dressing would have been good and also it was clearly made hours earlier as it was soaked thru and lettuce was small bits. Still....at least the flavour was there. Server was friendly and nice and did come back to check on us several times. Nicely done! The only complaint I have is some of the filth on the floors. We sat at a table in the back near the server stations and this area was scary dirty! Food everywhere, used napkins thrown on the floors, food chunks, kinda gross! I just avoided looking at it or it probably would have grossed me out. I'm not from the area but if I went back I'm sure I wouldn't mind going back here. Thanks server! Wish I could remember your name so I could place it here. read more
