Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Yonge and Sheppard

Great restaurant with friendly service. Our waiter was attentive and patient throughout our meal. He made excellent recommendations and answered my 8yr old son’s questions very engagingly. The Pesto Funghi was delicious, as well as the Chicken Schnitzel and French fries!! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was well worth the drive through the storm. We will return in the near future!

Everything was perfect, I ask for the hawaiian New York pizza, it was delicious, and the service on point! Highly

Food is excellent; expect a minimum order of two. Waitresses are extremely busy yet friendly and efficient. Expect to wait in line even if you have reserved a table.

For the last round of birthday dinners, this time with family, we decided to try East Side Mario’s. I was surprised to realize I had never been here before, despite passing by the restaurant multiple times a week. We shared Calamari al Diavolo, Mozzarella Sticks, Bruschetta Flatbread, Linguine Chicken Amatriciana, Triple Threat Parmigiana, and Mario’s Chicken Parmigiana. Overall, the food quality was surprisingly good. While the Mozzarella Sticks and pastas were slightly above standard, given the reasonable pricing and generous portions, I have no complaints. The only dish that fell short was the Bruschetta Flatbread, which tasted bland compared to the others. The Parmigianas were the highlight, especially the Triple Threat, which was a first for me. The sauces were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was prepared beautifully, earning two thumbs up. However, the star of the night was the Calamari al Diavolo. The hearty tomato broth with just the right kick of spice, combined with the peppers and calamari, made it outstanding. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind coming back just for this dish, it’s that good. If there’s a better version out there, someone needs to enlighten me. While the food was satisfying, the service left room for improvement. Our designated server was spotty, with unclear answers to our inquiries and a lack of attentiveness. Thankfully, other servers stepped in and were more accommodating, which helped salvage the experience. Despite the service hiccups, I’m glad to have discovered this place. It’s a spot where I can enjoy good food and create great memories with family.

We were served quickly, the food was delicious, and the waiters were very friendly.
