East Side Mario's - Kitchener

My husband and I eat here every couple months because you get a lot for a good price. I have had almost everything on the menu. Some dishes are fairly good, some are awful. Stay away from the stuffed pizza and the spaghetti. Horrendous. The best items are the lasagna, the pizza, alfredo and spicy sausage penne. The Caesar salad is very bland as well. Ask for extra dressing. You will need it.

I suppose pasta dishes are hard to screw up but here they are absolutely identical time after time. Nice to know you are going to get what you expect each time.

I did, but it had been many years. I thought it was a chicken and rich pasta dish but boy was I wrong. It was chicken with sloppy vegetables and potatoes with a weak, bland, kind of annoying flavour. It reminded me of one of my Mom's unsuccessful stew-like dishes. Having said that, Cesar's salad was great and the service was very good. I like a lot of the food here, but I can't recommend the Chicken Cacciatore.

I'm still sitting here waiting for my food. I don't blame the waitress, she's the only one waiting on the largest section of the restaurant at 7:30 on a Thursday evening. BTW I've been here since 6:30. We ordered right away. My kids are starved and they don't even have crayons to play with. On the plus side the waitress keeps piling in the bread with her apologies. Called the manager over.

Waited and waited and practically had to beg for a salad and load of bread. An hour and a half before and food came. Will not return.
