My family has been going to Oregano's since the 1st location in Tempe opened up. It's absolutely our favorite place.
The dough they give our kids to play with is a fun different change from other places.
The Boom Dip is fantastic!
Pasta Basta is my favorite.
We love the idea of a smallish restaurant with great patios. The wait is an issue most of the time but what does that tell you? There wouldn't be a wait if it wasn't any good.
We have now traveled to almost all the locations just for fun!
The ambiance is great at all we've been to.
We have out of town guests who always request a trip to Oregano's.
Here's a tip...there's a couple dishes that take 30-45 min. so order those while your waiting and it'll be ready once you get seated.
