East Side Mario's

Received burnt lasagna that was DRY and had very little flavour. It had obviously been sitting a long time after it was cooked (burnt). The garlic roll had about the same amount of flavour. NEVER AGAIN.

Wow. Such good service tonight. I think they only had 1-2 staff on tonight (including the kitchen) but service was stellar. Drinks refilled, food fast, fresh, and good. It was a very quiet night. Only 1 large table aside from our party of 4. But was impressed.

Been many times and service was good. Perhaps a solid 3-4 stars. But tonight pushed me to a 5. I wish I got the name of the guy helping us.

Food was really good as usual.

Wait staff were forgetful & seemed overall disinterested in their jobs. Sometimes friendly though. You could tell the manager was working his tail off. You saw him zoom past at least once every minute or two & picking up after the other wait staff.
Had a panzarotti. It was okay-ish. It was sooooooo greasy. I get it's deep fried but it was just too greasy. Something like that would be better off baked (like pizza because that's kind of what it is). I guess I'll stick to pasta?
Location was surprisingly busy.

In conclusion, manager is awesome, friendly & is a one man show.

Three friends and I stopped here on a holiday long weekend for lunch.

The food was pretty decent, although the server got our order wrong, even after one of my friends pointed it out on the menu for him.

Our empty dishes were left on the table for about 10 minutes, as different servers walked by empty handed. One was even washing windows and glanced over a couple times. I guess washing windows is more important than clearing a table.

The last straw that really made this lunch suck was the two bartenders in the lounge. Our table was out of sight but still within earshot. Throughout the whole meal we could hear them complaining to each other about having to work the holiday. "I just want to go home" "Ugh I hate working on holidays." Really added to the atmosphere.

Not coming back again.

In town visiting family and like usual, we came here Friday. Service was pretty terrible. We ate our appetizer and salad before we got drinks. When the drinks did come they were wrong. Our server just seemed frazzled and no one helped her. Food was mediocre, my chicken parm had literally no mozzarella on it.

I also dislike that they made their lounge kid friendly. It was way better when you could seat yourself in the bar area. I think I'll go somewhere else next time.

The food was pretty good but our waitress was very forgetful. The cook took forever to cook our food and make our drinks. It took them 15 MINUTES after our order to make our drinks. Then 45 MINUTES later we get our food. It shouldn't take that long. It was not busy and there were many waiters and waitresses. Not impressed.

This location was clean, but the food was quite mediocre. Everything we had seemed like it had been heated in a microwave, and very bland. My wife had the Fettuccini Alfredo and I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce tasted like it was right out of a jar.

The fries that came with the children's menu were very disappointing. There were literally 9 fries on the plate.

Other locations may be better, but if you're in Camrose, I would suggest trying something different.

Food is always bad service is worse for example we waited for an hour for food and the calamari came out cold and just gross do not recommend

Nice restaurant, good service and good food. Wish there was more room at tables and booths for little ones, should invest in car seat slings so car seats can sit beside table and parents can be more comfortable not worrying about someone tripping over baby in car seat on the floor or like last time we had to awkwardly eat at a small table with the car seat on the table because there is no room.

I used to love this place but the last time i went there, it was around noon so most people would expext a restaurant to be prepared for lunch but their famous garlic bread was half frozen and we had to wait waaaay longer than usual to get it, then part of our order was wrong and what they did get right the portions were very small, i expected more considering how much we were paying, the salad was way bigger than the main meal. I doubt ill ever be back, which is sad because i had such fond memories but my last experience spoiled it
