Oregano Pizza & Pasta

It isn’t very good. The food quality is very wishy-​washy, and they always only have one, that’s right, one waiter for the whole restaurant. Sometimes the food can take up to an hour to come, so a quick lunch is out of the question.
Not recommended.

Must Try: Smokey Salmon Pizza, Mussels in Marinara

My Experience:
Came late on a Sunday evening craving some authentic Italian pizza. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with a stone oven in the back and a decent wine collection.
We had started with the Mussels in Marinara and had the Smokey Salmon Pizza, Cajun Chicken Pizza and Pizza Mediterranean. Overall the pizza’s were good, considerably above average, however didn’t really blow me away with the quality.
The service was not bad, as the waitress was attentive, but the three pizza’s took a very long time to come out, which was surprising as we were one of the few tables in the restaurant.

Small cozy bistro like place. Minimum décor but warm and pleasant. Reminds me of a small bistro in Rome. Coming in from the cold, you are greeted by the warmth of the pizza oven in the far end corner. teen families, and a few couples. A nice mixed crowd.
Ordered three pastas and two pizzas to share. Garlic bread is ok. It is hot from the oven. But misses the kick of garlic. Ordered Bolognese, carbonara and fusilli ala vodka. All excellent. The onion is a bit too much on the Carbonara. The Quattro Stagione pizza is great. I would have more artichoke on it than eggplant (which was sometimes a little too thick). The four cheeses was quickly consumed by the kids. So I would guess it was great.
Good service. Our waitress was great and checked on us a couple of times.
I would come again.

They have the best grilled veggie chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Very tasty. However I was pretty disappointed to learn that its only a lunch item and not offered throughout the day.

This place is so adorably quaint. I’ve been here several times and the food isn’t the best italian food you’ve had in your life, but it’s real italian food and made in house and I’ve always been happy with it. I remember when they first opened they gave so much garlic bread per table and their garlic bread is amazing so it was awesome but then they reduced the amount. They’ll still give you more if you ask, but who wants to be that person asking for their third refill of garlic bread right? Anyways forget the bread, because the pastas, pizzas, and risottos are all done very well so you’ll have more than enough delicious carbs. The meat based entrees are definitely pricier and they are good, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend only getting those options. I’ve never ordered wine here, but they do have a nice little collection. They usually have daily specials which are just as good as their normal dishes.
The waitresses are totally part of the experience here. They’re super friendly, personal, and very helpful when deciding on what you want. I’ve only ever had female servers here which is probably intentional but they’re all great at their jobs so it’s working for them.
It’s family friendly, but the space is small so children do need to be controlled. My meals here have usually been $ 25-​$ 40. I like the seafood risotto, ravioli, and all the pizzas are great. My friends love the penne alla vodka, but I don’t find it to be particularly special.

I’ve gone to this place 2 and both times I was super satisfied.
First time we dined in– I ordered the grilled calamari and the penne alla vodka my SO ordered their wood oven pizza and the grilled shrimp app. O.M.G everything was so rich and delicious. The penne was cooked to perfection and perfectly sauced. The calamari was amazing except i’ll get it next time with no peppers.
Second time– Ordered the same penne with extra sauce it was good just like the first time. However, when we opened the pizza it was the wrong pizza. I called and told them the issue, they were super apologetic and offered to give me a discount on my next visit. I decided not to be lazy and do the 10 min drive back to pick up the right one, they made me a bigger one and told me to keep the other pizza.
Pasta portions are huge so you’ll definitely have leftovers for the next day.

This local pizza place has a wood burning oven and a great selection of pizzas. The ingredients they have are in the premium side of quality and the service is always expedient and friendly. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and usually is filled with a mix of people on dates and families.
The fresh garlic bread that they give you is a great start. It is garlicy and warm, careful not to fill up before your meal! It is super tempting.
Appetizers, both the breaded and grilled calamari is as you would expect which is good but not spectacular. Their Caesar Salad comes with fresh and crisp lettuce and is great to start with. I hate it when restaurants drench their salads in dressing and luckily they have never done this to me here.
For those who like veal, I’ve had the veal in peppercorn sauce, veal parmigiano, and the veal marsala. They are all tasty and filling with a stressor on filling. Make sure you’re hungry or you’re taking some home
The grilled salmon is my daughter’s favourite dish. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the rice is a flavourful accompaniment.
Their pizzas are just the way I like it, think crust, light on the sauce with plenty of imaginative toppings. The Chiffonade and Bacon pizza is a great departure from the usual. The spinach pairs well with the salty bacon fontina and provolone cheeses. No tomato sauce on this one, so perfect for those who do not love sauce on their pizza all the time. The Puttanesca Pizza is our second favourite that is a great explosion of vegetarian flavour.

Service was excellent considering it was NYE and was a little busy. Good thing we had reservations! It is also kid/​baby friendly.
Tried the…
Coconut Shrimp — apparently made on site. It could have been crunchier but otherwise very nice !
Wild Mushroom Pizza — made on site with their stone oven and crust was thin (just to my liking). The ingredients were delicious together, though my hubby thought it could have been in there for another min or so.
Italian Sausage and Hot Pepper Pizza — very tasty! I liked the spiciness of the peppers and I normally don’t like sausage of any type but it blended well together.
We can’t wait to be back again!

Been in Richmond Hill for a lot of years and passed by this restaurants many times but never really attempt to walk in there. Until one day, I decided to give it a shot and it has changed my mind. The food is great and reasonably priced. Sometimes I think they are better than the big chain restaurants at East Beaver Creek. They don’t have many waitress or music background like the big chains but it’s cozy enough for families or a loving couples. At the end, what do you want from a restaurant. GREAT FOOD. You’ve done it right.

Been coming to Oregano for years. We’ve always been satisfied with the food. Service can be a challenge on a busy night but we’ve never had to complain. The risotto is great and the pizzas are excellent. A great neighborhood restaurant!

The menu is fantastic, the décor and layout is cute and a good conversation starter and the waitresses are nice and knowledgable. My hunger and taste buds are always satisfied when I dine here. I’m happy it’s close to home.

We’ve been to this place several times and found the quality of the food to be consistently good.
The menu features a full range of Italian dishes, however, I don’t think I have tried anything outside of the pizza section so this is the only one I am going to cover.
Individual pizzas look too big for one person to finish but they are not. The crust is so super-​thin, you’ll find your pizza to be just the right size to fill you up but not too big.
The pies are made from their own dough and baked in a traditional wood-​burning oven. I do think the oven is one of the reasons these pizzas taste so good.
Most entrees range from $ 11 to $ 19.
One of the vegetarian choices that is worth trying is mediterranean pizza that features feta, artichokes, and a variety of sweet grilled peppers as toppings and has *no* tomato sauce on it. Very unusual but is a healthy-​er option and very tasty.
The place has a Yonge St address but you won’t be able to see it from Yonge. It is inside the large plaza in between Loblaws and TD bank and not-​so-​easy to spot.
There is a movie theatre in the back of the building. If that’s your movies & dinner night, Oregano’s may be just the right venue for the latter.

Pizza margarita was amazing… the place has great ambiance and very reasonable price for what you get. I am definitely going back!

Went in for a couple of beers and decided to have dinner while I was there. Service was mediocre, but I have to admit that the waitress was alone and a bit busy. Asked for the third bottle when I ordered my food and also asked for the bill at the same time. My 2 empty bottles of beer were taken away when she brought the third. Decided to have the $ 19.00 «Angus» steak, cooked medium.
Veggies were grilled nicely. Steak was more like a charred piece of leather with a lot of gristle. My jaw was sore after eating it. Complained to the waitress but nothing was done about it. Bill didn’t come until well after she had taken my away my plate.

I like this place, it Is romantic and cozy, they have limited seating. This was my first visit but the pizza was good, I always judge it from the crust and it said wood burning and it was delicious. Would go back definitely. The service was a little slow however, the wine was amazing. Can’t wait to try the pasta dishes next time.

A quaint restaurant with a nice romantic mood. The price is reasonable for a gourmet Italian restaurant. The pizzas are made in a traditional stone/​wood oven.
Their courteous staff are very helpful.

Oregano Pizza just located on Yonge just north of Elgin Mills. It has a really small storefront and sometime it is really hard to notice that it is there.
They do serve lunch specials from $ 5.95 and the selections are great with 2 full pages and for sure you will find something that you like.
The portions are huge here… We should have just order the Veal Sandwich ($ 5.95) and a salad and split that. but my friend want to try Cajun Chicken Penne ($ 9.99) too.
The Penne is cooked Al dente and tossed in olive oil with tons of veggies. The chicken though is not plentiful and is little dry, maybe it is good that it is not plentiful: P.
The complimentary garlic bread would taste a lot better if lightly toasted and let the garlic butter melt.
The service here is nice and friendly. The deco is charming and does have a bistro feel.
They accepts all credit cards.

Inside décor and lighting was romantic, intimate and cozy, it was a true hidden gem. It reminded me of being in a restaurant downtown or Little Italy although the restaurant location was in a plaza in Richmond Hill.
Good selection of pasta and pizza, it was hard to decide. We ended up ordering penne a la vodka and a garlic lover’s pizza, which had sundried tomatoes, red peppers, wild mushrooms, goat cheese and of course garlic! Finished with a caramel crunch cake for dessert :)
Our server was friendly and helpful, especially in guiding our pizza choice.
Would definitely go back and greatly enjoyed the experience.
