| - I've been told that this is one of my friend's and her husband's favorite place to dine. In fact, they had been here the week before I arrived in Phoenix. It had been a while since having Italian fare, so I was happy to check things out here.
Oregano's pizza Bistro restaurant is a quaint little place that reminds me of being at either Chilis or Buca Di Beppo Italian cuisine restaurant - at least how the restaurant space is conveniently set up. We arrived here on a nice Thursday just after 12:20pm after a morning of shopping and errands. There wasn't that much activity here, but it took a while for the food to be presented to us. While everything looked and tasted well, wish it would have been expertly prepared in a quicker fashion. It must have been around 20-25 minutes after ordering before the food arrived. I realized that perfection takes time, but I guess it's better than overlooked and overlooked pasta! It felt longer than it was, maybe. The ambiance here was very much casual and quiet. Really like this kind of ambiance especially when you hit a certain age and need that quiet time away from life. Lol I did enjoy this place, even though the wait time was a tad slower than I thought.
The overall experience here at Oregano's pizza Bistro restaurant was good and nice. We actually got a booth near the entrance and there was nice air conditioning, especially nice when the temps were in the 90's outside. I can believe that summer time out here in the desert can get hot hot and toasty for sure! Oregano's Pizza Bistro is located at 7215 E Shea Blvd, in Scottsdale, Arizona. They accept major credit cards, so that's always a great thing! They have ample parking options, considering that they are in a strip mall and have plenty of neighboring merchants to support them. I really wished I did get the pizza though, but the prices were kind of high for that. I opted for the cheaper $10 option of the lasagna, which ended up decently good. I haven't had good lasagna in a while, so this meal really did hit the spot. The taste was good and delicious, although not mind blowing great. It hit the spot after an afternoon of shopping and walking around. Oregano's Pizza Bistro is clean and well managed. Definitely well worth the trouble of getting here.
I didn't take photos of the food, menu, and others because my iPhone decided to die on me just before we entered the restaurant. Needless to say, that it would have been better with photos though. Lasagna in a hearty meat sauce, along with 2x of Diet Coke makes this meal extra special. Too bad that I was driving, but i would totally have had at least one beer or something with the meal. Oh well. This was just lunch and I'm sure that this place is probably Rocking at dinner time! The service here was very nice and friendly. The best kind I'd say. Makes life worth living, if being served with a smile. I guess the wait was worth it. The server was nice and gave me my refill of Diet Coke without me asking for a refill. That's service right there. Thanks to my Scottsdale friends for bringing me here to this place and hanging out with me on my vacation to Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding communities.
4.0 stars for the lasagna. 4.0 stars for the ambiance and the service. I realize that I was on vacation, so waiting is a virtue. Way better than being stuck at the office.
