I am giving this one 3 stars because I have always liked Oregano's, although it was usually the Scottsdale locations. This was my first time at this location in Goodyear... it was a Saturday night and packed like I expected it to be... we got there around 8 and were quoted a 40 minute wait time. We decided to just eat at the bar, no big deal. Drinks are reasonably priced... they don't have frozen margaritas or drinks other than a frozen peach bellini concoction that they have from a machine back there. It was meh.
Lemme just warn you if you aren't already aware - the portion sizes are HUGE here... on one hand it's great cause you get more for your money, but we literally almost filled up on our appetizer and by the time the dinner came we weren't that interested lol. Ordered the stuffed mushrooms - it ended up being 2 gigantic portobello mushrooms each filled with a mountain of ground sausage and then topped with cheese. They were tasty.
I then got the eggplant parm, but it just was mediocre at best. It was a meager size portion of some slices of eggplant (not breaded) on top of a ginormous bed of overcooked angel hair pasta. I am someone who likes a generous amount of sauce as well, and they were very stingy with the sauce. When I asked for more on the side, I got a ramekin of thick sauce. Weird... I basically ate the eggplant and garlic bread and a couple bites of pasta but it was just way too much food for me to finish even if I was STARVING. My friend got the white pizza and he liked it, but could barely eat that much because he was full too.
I will definitely go back to Oregano's! Just not on a Weekend night.
