| - Went there for dinner tonight with my husband and 15 month old son and we all left very happy!
First off, with my 15-month old, he's at a stage where he doesn't want to be spoon-fed, but isn't very good at feeding himself yet. I hate going to a place where the cheapest item on the kid's menu is $8 because 75% of it will wind up smeared on the table, highchair, and on the floor. Oregano's offers a kid's slice for $2.99. Can't beat that price! In addition, it came out cut up into little kid-sized chunks AND the staff moved it off of the hot plate it was cooked on and onto a cooler platter. THANK YOU! I very much appreciate not having to shuffle the whole table around to avoid my son burning his hand on a hot plate!
The atmosphere is fun, casual, and lively. We sat indoors, but even in the heat of Scottsdale in June, the patio seating was shady and cooled by misters. We could've enjoyed our stay there, too.
Our server (Justin, i think?) was incredibly attentive without being overbearing. He never let our drinks run dry and was just really, truly, a pleasant addition to the evening!
We ordered the Boom Dip. YUM! I'm a big fan of spinach artichoke dip, but this is definitely a contender for the best I've ever had. Very heavy on the artichoke where most are mainly cheese. I liked it!
My husband and I split the O-Riva Pizza. The ingredients were very fresh and the crust was super thin. I personally would have preferred a little bit thicker crust, but I'll just try out a pan crust next time. The taste was great.
In all, we had a very good time. It was a great place for dinner with the family and we'll definitely be back to check out more of the menu.
