EAST SIDE MARIO'S OSHAWA SOUTH REVIEWS

My husband and I decided to come to this location for a date night dinner. We had an absolute wonderful dinning experience. The service was fantastic and our server, Jen, super polite and friendly. Our appetizers were sizzling , the meal perfectly cooked. Towards the end of our dinner, the manager, Jaz came out and introduced herself , adding to the ambiance and welcoming atmosphere . I would definitely dine here again as well as recommend.

We had a fantastic experience thanks to our waiter, Wesley! From the moment we sat down, they were attentive, polite, and genuinely warm. Our drinks were always full, the food came out perfectly timed, and they even gave great recommendations from the menu. It’s rare to find someone who balances friendliness with professionalism so well. Definitely made our meal more enjoyable—thank you.

Our server Evan was honestly outstanding! He went above and beyond to make sure my family and I had everything we needed. It was honestly a blessing to have someone who takes the time to appreciate his customers.

AVANTI TRATTORIA REVIEWS

It was a good experience. We ordered ravioli and it was delicious. Stuffed with spinach and cheese and dipped in a white sauce. It was good. We ordered mojitos . Genuinely we didn’t like it. It was not strong on lemon side but it was strong on alcohol side. But overall it was really good. Thank you for amazing experience.

We have been to Avanti a few times; this time, we had the first seating at 4pm before going to show. Avanti is an authentic Italian experience. We ordered Calamari, my husband had Veal Parm, and I had the Funghi di Bosco Pizza ...delicious!! Excellent food and service.

Our server Ally was so kind and made great recommendations for our food and wine. She made our night very enjoyable! Everything was so delicious and flavourful, and I will definitely be coming back.

LEGEND OF FAZIO'S REVIEWS

brought my Mother here for a mother's day/birthday dinner. We both ended up getting the legends burger as well as crab cakes and the cauliflower appetizers. Food was excellent. Service was pretty good except that it felt like forever to pay the bill, it got to the point we had to go up to the bar area and wait. Regardless, we will likely return.

The owner is very kind and made our stay well worth it. The steak and lobster is one of their best dishes. They have a nice variety of appetizers such as calamari and bruschetta which all tasted amazing. I would come back here again.

We needed a private room for a work meeting and they were very accommodating the browniebwas very good. I had the filet and it was excellent.
