About Us
Bringing a Taste of Little Italy to Canada Since 1987!
Since 1987, we've been serving up delicious, hearty Italian meals with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. We believe great Italian food should be abundant and accessible every day, bringing families together to Mangia! Mangia! So come on in, say CIAO, and enjoy a little taste of Italy in every bite!
Where it
All Began!
Our founders found inspiration in the heart of NYC’s Little Italy during the San Gennaro Festival – 11 days of food, family, and fun that sparked the dream of East Side Mario’s!
THE FIRST SLICE
of Mario’s Magic!
The very first Canadian East Side Mario’s opened its doors on Richmond Street in London, ON. Inspired by the lively vibes of Little Italy, we brought the festival spirit to life with famiglia, food, and fun!
Fan Favourites
are Born!
From Mario’s famous Chicken Parm to Cheese Cappelletti, Hell’s Kitchen Chicken and Linguine Chicken Tetrazzini, our menu classics were born! Handcrafted with love, they’re still stealing hearts today.
HEY
Budda Boom, Budda Bing!®
The slogan that says it all made its debut! It’s been making meals (and smiles) bigger ever since.
Mangia Mangia!
Goes Coast to Coast!
From British Columbia to Newfoundland, East Side Mario’s spread across Canada, bringing All-You-Can-Eat soup, salad, and garlic homeloaf to tables everywhere.
Today
and Always!
Coast to coast, we’re still celebrating all things famiglia, food, and fun. So grab a fork and let’s Mangia Mangia – the Mario’s way!
