HAMILTON, ON, Oct. 31, 2025 /CNW/ - East Side Mario's®, the home of All-You-Can-Eat Soup, Salad and Garlic Homeloaf, has opened its newest restaurant in Winona Crossing at 1372 South Service Road, unveiling a bold new design inspired by the energy of Italy's famous San Gennaro street festival.
"We're beyond excited to open our doors at Winona Crossing," say Dale and Michele Adams, longtime Stoney Creek residents and proud franchisees of East Side Mario's Queenston Road since 2017. "We can't wait to welcome our neighbours in to enjoy delicious, abundant Italian-inspired food and celebrate the joy of spending time with family and friends."
This opening marks another milestone in East Side Mario's almost 40-year legacy of bringing Canadians together to share meals and memories. The Winona Crossing restaurant is only the second in Canada to feature East Side Mario's vibrant new design, a reimagined space that captures the sights, sounds, and spirit of Little Italy.
"We're proud to grow East Side Mario's in the Stoney Creek community as we transport guests to Little Italy, where the dream of our brand began," says Nathan Cameron, Chief Operating Officer of East Side Mario's. "It's an invitation to escape to your very own Little Italy and make memories that last a lifetime, whether it's a family dinner, birthday, or night out with friends."
The opening comes just in time for Stoney Creek residents to celebrate the holidays at the new location. Guests can enjoy Mario's Three-Course Feast from $24.99 until January 5, making it the perfect season to gather, celebrate, and create new memories at East Side Mario's Winona Crossing.
