Best Casual Italian

by kknowlton at Citysearch

This restaurant is so fun and casual for either a couple or a big group of people. We typically go with four people, and order this appetizer called guacatony, a medium pizza, and this amazing pablo picasso salad that is so yummy. With tip and drinks and everything you won't spend more than $35 and you have leftovers for a week. So good! The only bad thing is that there is typically a long wait, but it is well worth it, and the atmosphere is just so fun anyways.

• Pros: Great Atmosphere, Excellent Food, Great Service
• Cons: Long wait

Fantastic Place To Eat

by garytarr at Citysearch

This pizza joint is awesome! Friendly service, great food, one of the best dining environments in the valley and you never leave hungry. The food is consistent and it feels like you are in a neighborhood house instead of a strip mall with no character. Why go anywhere else?

Overrated, sorry.

by azdg at Citysearch

This rating is for the Tempe location.

Most overrated and hyped up psydo-italian style restaurant. Sorry guys but this crap is absolutely NOT anything close to real Italian food. Depending on the time of the day the wait time is rediculous and waiter staff can be quite arrogant.

Go there if you want to overpay for average food and get hassled by slow waitresses.

• Pros: use of spices
• Cons: mediocre quality, expensive, too busy

Always worth the wait

by oakramer at Citysearch

I usually go to the Scottsdale location once a month at least when my girlfriend is in town. There is always a wait because of the high quality of food and service. A lot of the servers have been there for years and remember my name when I come in. It just makes you feel at home when you eat and hang out there. Most restraunts level of service goes down with the more customers they service...Oregano's service level continues to accel no matter how many people cram in there. Always worth the wait :-)

Don't miss

The long waits attest to the quality of Oregano's. Not only is the food first rate, service is warm, friendly and just plain fun. The pizza is the menu focus, but try the salads (just wonderful), the soups (but not in summer), and the desserts while you enjoy the inventive surroundings.

We make it point ot eat at Oregano's virtually every time we visit Phoenix.

• Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service

A Taste of Home!

by rwhaviland at Citysearch

Finally! Oregano's has shown the "Chicago Style" wannabes just what 's the real deal! I will wait as long as it take to eat at this fine establishment. GREAT Pizza, great atmosphere, and great music (a little more blues would be a nice touch!). Whoever said, "There is always room for improvement.", has obviously never dined at Oregano's!

• Pros: Pizza, Atmosphere, Music
• Cons: , Limited parking

Pizza Cookie

by sugarhigh13323 at Citysearch

Not only is the ambiance amazing with Frank Sintra-style music and Chicago scenery, but also the service is wonderful. The food is fabulous and the best part of all meals, dessert! Oregano's serves the best dessert ever. It is a slightly baked cookie weighing in at a half of a pound topped with three scoops of ice cream & chocolate chips. It is the best thing ever! Also, Oregano's recently took the antipasto salad off the menu, but you can still order it, so order it people!!! FABULOUS!!!!!!

Miss the Taste

I lived in Phoenix and am now living in Indianapolis. Whenever we go back I have to eat @ Oregano's at least twice. They have the best salad ever! Their pizza's alway hit the spot. They also have "healthier" items too. You can purchase a Tshirt for $5 w/ logo's like Menu can trust, etc. Great environment & always great service! Must try it!!!

• Pros: great food & service, Awesome patio, great price
• Cons: limited parking

We stumbled upon this great Italian eatery and make sure we eat there every time we are in Phoenix. One of the best meals we have had in all of AZ, bring it to the to the east coast!

• Pros: Reasonably priced, great food, great service
• Cons: crowded, too far from NY
