| - oregano's i'm so so so so sorry that i tend to overlook you. never again. i promise.
oregano's has never let me down. well, once, but it's because i forgot they used fresh parmesan. so when they asked if we wanted parmesan, i said "yes" and then was mortified when instead of a shaker of powder, there was fresh parmesan sprinkled all over my pizza. i like fresh parmesan on my pasta, but for some reason i think it ruins a pizza. this is a personal thing, so i can't hold it against them.
i absolutely love that oregano's makes the patio the focal point of the restaurant. even in the summer when it's deathly hot, they somehow manage to make the patio appealing. the misters cool it down, but don't turn the patio into a swamp.
the last time we went i was STARVING after a very very long day that i may or may not have complely forgotten to eat. by the time we arrived, the wait was 30 min. for 2 people *sigh*. (there had been a sign outside NYPD pizza boasting no wait and my belly was tempted). "no" i reminded myself "oreganos always has a wait and it's always worth it." the host told us that we could sit at the bar if there was room and just to let him know if we found a spot and wanted to stay there. so we went to the bar, but it was pretty busy and there weren't 2 seats together. the bartender offered to move another chair around and a very nice couple said they could move down. the bartender then took care of taking us off of the list, which was nice. the word "hospitality" came to mind (what a novel idea in the industry....)
i eyeballed a margarita and my hungry thirsty belly did a little dance. i never would have considered getting a margarita here, but i'm so very glad i did. it was quite possibly one of the best margaritas i've ever had. great beverage, check!
knowing full-well that the pizza would take a good 30-45 minutes to come out i knew i had to have an appetizer. the calamari is always good, but i wanted something else. once again, i ventured out of my comfort zone and remembering that once upon a time someone had told me the toasted ravioli were good, ordered those. oh.my.goodness!!! the cheese was sooooo soft. it was like liquid gold. i forgot to share and actually ended up scarfing most of the ravioli down. amazing appetizer, check!
then the pizza came and it was scrumptious! (as i have come to expect) however, they forgot to put pepperoni on it. BUMMER! and it's not like they can just fire another one up really quick. however, the bartender went and got us some pepperoni -- not the cold handful, here's your damn pepperoni, now you can't complain stuff, but they actually heated the pepperoni up and it was a PLATEFULL, so it wasn't QUITE the same, but pretty darn close! fixing an order-gone-wrong, check! (although it would have been an added bonus to have a manager address the problem with the customer. but that's just me.)
i want to give it 5 stars, but i just can't. not yet. i need to have a few more amazing experiences there and then i'll probably bump it up.
