“It was our first time at Oregano and it did not disappoint..the Lasagna pizza was to die for..we sat outside cause we had our two small pups with us..our waitress was attentive and really pleasant I wish I remembered her name..Great experience would definitely go back!We were there on 7/21/25 early afternoon..“

“Eating inside the restaurant helps make up for me being 0% italian. They greet you like family and you’ll feel the warmth.

Most of the meals we have ordered have been good. We have been upcharged by a lot (doubled the price of an entree) for substitutions like shrimp instead of sausage even when there is a shrimp dish with a similar price to my original order.“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food & The Best Service!

This Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is delicious—full of flavor and made with love. The service is truly the best I’ve ever had—everyone is happy, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home the second you walk in.

I recommend this place to all my clients, especially for their $5.99 frozen dinners to go—they’re perfect for busy nights and just as tasty as dining in!

Ron, the owner and cook, is an incredible guy with a real passion for what he does and it shows in every dish. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! I have to say that Ron is one generous man!!!❤️🙏 Gypsy“

“never had a bad meal they will make it your way great family place young and very old not overpriced $3 beers owner Theresa, makes everyone feel welcome, even 1st timers need a home away from home, it's here“

“Love the food. I was disappointed that we were told we couldn’t sit in a booth. She said the booths were All reserved. We had a toddler who does so much better in a booth. I honestly considered walking out. We ate and left and only 2 parties came in and used the booth leaving approximately 95 percent of the booths open.“

“I love this place! One of my favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area.

Been at least 4x in the last 4-5months and plan to be back often to try the rest of the menu“
