Review of East Side Mario's

I've eaten off of their GF menu twice in the past month. The first time, they couldn't find the GF menu at all. When they did find it, I ordered a GF pasta option. Their cream/white sauces are not GF so I went with the simple red sauce. The food took over 30 minutes to arrive, and when it did - GF noodles, yes, but covered in Alfredo sauce (not GF). I had to send it back and ask them to remake it. By this point my dining partner (a child) had finished her meal. Given the typical attention span of a child, this was not a fun dining adventure. I asked for a takeout container right away and ended up throwing most of my meal out. We all know how well GF noodles, especially when overlooked, hold their shape and texture - yuck! My second experience was a little better. The GF menu I was handed was completely different (no pasta, just salad, salmon or steak). I asked and received the other GF menu (after our server verified that pasta was even available). I opted for the spicy red sauce this time - much better. The food was pretty good but I didn't feel very comfortable with the knowledge of our server regarding gluten in general (although she was better than some!).

Celiac friendly?
