Try implementing this HTML helper:

public static IHtmlString ServerSideInclude(this HtmlHelper helper, string serverPath)
{
    var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(serverPath);

    // load from file
    using (var streamReader = File.OpenText(filePath))
    {
        var markup = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
        return new HtmlString(markup);
    }
}

or:

public static IHtmlString ServerSideInclude(this HtmlHelper helper, string serverPath)
{
    var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(serverPath);

    var markup = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
    return new HtmlString(markup);
}
