From the chain's own published numbers: eastsidemarios.com, checked November 11, 2026. Menus change; treat this as a snapshot.

Pasta at a chain restaurant sounds like the wrong answer. The plain Bolognese turned out to be one of the calmer things on the menu: 860 mg sodium, by their own numbers. Not low. But I know what it is, and that beats guessing.

The salad is where it goes wrong if I'm not paying attention. The house dressing comes on by default. I ask for oil, vinegar and lemon instead, and dress it myself.

The numbers above are for the pasta only. East Side Mario's doesn't publish a figure for the side salad with oil and vinegar, so that part isn't counted. One more wrinkle: their nutrition table lists the Bolognese at 440 kcal, but the dish's own menu page says 610 kcal. I've used the nutrition table; if calories matter to you that day, plan on the higher number.
