| - Expected much better. So disappointed.
Wife, girls, and I were all excited to try Oregano's since seeing construction start at their Goodyear location. Lines were always super long the times we tried and not worth the wait. So, it wasn't until recently that we were able to check the place off our list.
The staff are very pleasant and engaged with our kids. Wait was about 20 minutes, so not bad even with keiki in tow. Location is also fun with a 1960s throwback-cabin-factory vibe. Kitchen is viewable and you can see the crew working fast. Noise level is high, so probably not the place for you, if you want some quiet conversation or romance.
Unfortunately, the food was lackluster. We ordered an app plate of fries and a Bistro Classic thin crust white pizza. The fries were tasty enough, but heavy with oil. The pizza? Well, it caused sadness. The girls and I can usually polish off a large white pizza like nothing. The Bistro Classic dough was so salty that it made sections of the pizza hard to eat and we ended up having half of it left. Very little garlic taste and the cheese was exceptionally bland.
Would have said something to our waitress, but she was gone so long that we didn't have time to confer. She did refill our drinks... as she brought the check and we were ready to leave.
Oh, well. There's always Grimaldi's! :o)
