Terrible service, oily tasteless food, noisy restaurant. East Side Mario's used to be a fun place for a family dinner. Not anymore. The last time I was there, I couldn't finish my pasta because it was so oily --- and the portions weren't very big, either. Even the "endless" bread was smaller than it used to be.
After sitting there disgusted by the food, we had to flag down the wait-staff for my bill because our server had disappeared. We tossed cash on the table and fled. Blegh. Won't go back.
