East Side Mario’s menu prices in Canada [2026 Updated]

If you’re checking East Side Mario’s menu prices in Canada, most classic pastas and entrées land around $18 to $28, and there’s a nice perk that makes a dine in meal feel more worthwhile: classic pastas and entrées come with unlimited soup, salad, and warm garlic homeloaf. That golden, pull apart loaf with a soft, garlicky centre is often the first thing to hit the table.

At the lower end, Mini Oreo Cheesecake and Funfetti Cake start at $2.99, while sides and dips can start at just $0.99. Starters cost a little more, with favourites such as Budda Boomers at $9.99. For a bigger appetite, Mario’s Mangia Sampler is $28.49, while the Chicken & Shrimp Scampi is $27.99, pairing tender chicken and shrimp with a rich sauce.

For this East Side Mario’s menu with prices in Canada, we cross checked official menus from multiple Canadian locations rather than relying on one restaurant’s listing. Prices can shift slightly by location, sometimes by a few cents or roughly a dollar, as franchise restaurants deal with different regional operating costs.

Below, you’ll find the prices for Garlic Fest specialties, signature pastas, hand tossed pizzas, Mini Marios kids’ meals, plus current calorie counts. I’ve also included the details that matter when you’re deciding what to order, from slow simmered marinara and Parmesan cream to that blistered, wood style pizza crust.

People often compare these appetizer prices—especially the wings and spinach dip—to what Kelsey’s is charging these days for a similar casual dining vibe.

CLASSIC PASTAS

PIZZA

East Side Mario’s makes a surprisingly solid pie, though it’s always a toss-up whether Canadian families prefer this wood-style crust or the heavy-topping pizzas over at Boston Pizza.

PARMIGIANA

If you’re spending around $25 on a big chicken dinner, you might want to glance at how these massive breaded portions stack up against a Classic Swiss Chalet chicken meal.

Most Popular Menu Items at East Side Mario’s

Unlimited Soup, Salad, and Homeloaf

Honestly, the unlimited soup, salad, and warm homeloaf can be the real MVP of an East Side Mario’s meal. I’ve seen diners rave about the bread and garden salad with those little pepperoncini peppers, and I get it. The loaf arrives warm and pull apart soft, with that garlicky centre that’s hard to stop eating.

The salad keeps things crisp and fresh, while the bread makes the meal feel much more generous before the main dish even arrives.

Mario’s Chicken Parmigiana

$25.99 | 1,030 calories

I ordered this expecting the famous “as big as your face” chicken parm, and it’s definitely substantial, but the chicken I got was closer to hand sized than face sized. It’s still a big, filling plate, especially with the spaghetti underneath, but this isn’t a light dinner.

The chicken parm itself is a calorie heavyweight at 1,030 calories, so bring a serious appetite.

One thing I’d change is the sauce. The spaghetti can come across a little dry or bland when there isn’t enough tomato sauce, so ask for extra sauce or swap the regular marinara for spicy Arrabbiata if you want more punch.

Fettuccine Alfredo

$19.99 | 580 calories

At $19.99, this is the cheapest classic pasta on the menu, and it’s an easy choice when I want something familiar. The Parmesan cream sauce is rich, smooth, and comforting without trying to be complicated.

I’d pick this when I’m after a straightforward bowl of creamy pasta rather than a plate loaded with different toppings.

Calamari Fritti

$14.99 | 240 calories

This one surprised me. I’ve had plenty of restaurant calamari that turns rubbery after a few bites, but the Calamari Fritti at East Side Mario’s gets the texture right when it’s fresh from the kitchen.

The coating is crisp, the calamari stays tender, and it works well as a starter to share. At $14.99, it’s also one of the easier ways to add an appetizer without pushing the bill too high.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are menu prices exactly the same at every East Side Mario’s in Canada?

No. Expect a few cents to about $1 of difference depending on the location and regional franchise costs.

How do I get the most food for the cheapest price?

Here’s the hack: $19.99 classic pasta. Spaghetti Bolognese or Baked Penne gets you the pasta plus unlimited soup, salad, and garlic homeloaf.

The $0.99 dips and $2.99 Mini Sweets are cheaper, obviously, but they’re not dinner. Kids meals sit around $9.49 to $9.99.

What’s the biggest, most expensive meal on the menu?

Mario’s Mangia Sampler: $28.49 and 1,210 calories.

It’s a big calorie bomb, basically made for people who can’t settle on one thing. And honestly, that’s the point.

Best vegetarian choice that isn’t just a basic salad?

Goat cheese pasta. Spaghetti Primavera is $22.99, while Triple Garlic Penne is $23.99.

Can I actually eat healthy here?

Kind of. It’s an Italian American chain, so the menu leans hard toward pasta and carbs.

For calorie counting, I’d keep it simple: Italian Wedding Soup is $7.99 with 100 calories, then add the Side Roasted Italian Vegetables for $3.99 and 80 calories. The Garden Salad is another option at $12.99 and 280 calories.

Before You Order

You came here for the East Side Mario’s menu prices in Canada, and that’s what this guide is built around. I keep an eye on the prices and update them from time to time, because restaurant pricing doesn’t sit still for long.

Still, check your local location before ordering. A spot in downtown Toronto can be a few cents more than one in a smaller town. That’s normal with franchise pricing.

And don’t sleep on the $19.99 classic pastas. Getting the unlimited garlic homeloaf and salad with that pasta is easily one of the better ways to stretch your meal.

Hi, I am Christopher Hopper, the food writer behind Canada Menu Hub. I live right here in Canada and absolutely love exploring our incredible food scene.

I created this website after getting frustrated with how hard it is to find current restaurant prices online. Since I already love writing and discovering new places to eat, I decided to fix the issue myself.

My mission is simple. I track down the latest menus, verify the costs, and update the prices here so you know exactly what you will pay before you order. When I am not writing articles or checking menu updates, I am usually traveling the country looking for my next great meal.
