East Side Mario's

by - March 06, 2013

East Side Marios' a chain of restaurants specializing in Italian cuisine, and there are multiple locations throughout Canada. 


I ordered the budda boomers ($5.99) as a starter. The budda boomers are basically deep fried pizza dough sprinkled with herbs and garlic. I really liked it, as it was both chewy and cheesy. 


The caesar salad ($9.49) was nothing special, but it did contain a few pieces of croutons and bacon.


 The garden salad ($9.49) had a good mixture of greens. However, their "famous house vinaigrette" tasted really sour, and it was not appetizing whatsoever. I definitely do not recommend this salad.


The seafood linguine ($17.49) contained a good amounts of mussels. However, the pasta was too overcooked and tasteless.


The sausage & pepper penne ($15.49) may not look appetizing due to its messy appearance. However, it was a decent pasta dish as it was flavorful. The grilled Italian sausage, and various peppers were plentiful in the bowl.

If you're looking for authentic Italian food, then you should look elsewhere as you won't be able to find it here. However, their menu does offer a wide variety of choices, so you should be able to find something that suits your tastes. Overall, I thought that the prices of the pasta were way too expensive when compared to the mediocre quality food.
