| - I've always loved Oregano's....they have a fabulous menu, a great vibe and service seems to always be spot on. Although parking can be a challenge at this location, if you get there before 11:30 and secure a seat on the patio, it is, overall, a very nice, relaxing dining experience.
I ordered the Vino Bambino Jr. Salad ($6.99) which is "romaine lettuce with corkscrew pasta, black olives, red bell peppers, pinto beans, scallions, parmesan cheese and fresh cilantro topped with wine-marinated chicken, sauteed onions, red bell peppers and sun-dried tomatoes." I substituted fat-free Roasted Red Pepper Italian dressing for the caesar. Overall, it was very light and delicious but filling. Although, I really wanted a big, greasy sandwich with sweet potato fries! My friend had the Jr. Oregano's Favorite Salad (add chicken) which includes romaine lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, spiced feta cheese, roasted red peppers, red onions, pine nuts and raisins, and she took half of it home.
I really want to come back and indulge in some heavier menu items like the stuffed pizza, pizza cookie etc. But, that will require that I commit to a serious workout either before or after!
