East Side Mario's
Aberdeen Mall, Kamloops

This not a place I normally think of to go for a meal; I can make pasta quite easily at home. I like to go here for salad or salad and bread. Last night, I had the linguini chicken tettrazini for $14.69. All pastas come with endless bread served hot with butter...mmmm...and green salad that includes tomatoes and onions or soup. My dining partner had the wedding soup...mmmmm....The pasta was actually very nice. There were fairly large pieces of chicken and whole mushrooms with bits of tomato all served in a creamy sauce. If you ask, you can get a generous shaving of parmesan cheese and ground pepper. This is something I could make easily at home but not bad out in a restaurant. Really, this is all comfort food. I liked the food. I'm not that crazy about the atmosphere...the music is too loud and I feel like the servers are forcing a fun, party-like atmosphere. The food was good, but the service was lacking. I will go back again in about six months not for the service or atmosphere but for endless salad and bread.
