My family has been going to Oregano's since the 1st location in Tempe opened up.  It's absolutely our favorite place.\nThe dough they give our kids to play with is a fun different change from other places.\n\nThe Boom Dip is fantastic!\nPasta Basta is my favorite.\n\nWe 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.\n\nWe have now traveled to almost all the locations just for fun!\nThe ambiance is great at all we've been to.\n\nWe have out of town guests who always request a trip to Oregano's.\n\nHere'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.
