"Firstly I would like to say that this restaurant has just been refurbished, and it didn’t feel like an Italian restaurant, more like a cafe at the beach somewhere! It felt very sparse and most Italian restaurants I e been to have proper tablecloths on the table but these were plastic and I noticed one table it was tapped up underneath, in my opinion it needs to be made more warmly and have more of a family feel. The food was really nice,although I would advise anyone to make sure they double check their order as I chose chicken in a sauce really nice which came with vegetables but I also asked for a separate portion of potatoes, when it arrived I just had chicken with a few cut up potatoes and a very very small garnish of salad ! I mentioned this to the waitress who had taken our order and she said I know but the chef had given you extra salad !! Sorry but salad is not vegetables , it clearly said on the menu it came with vegetables. Having said about the above issue, the meals we all had were nice and the staff gave us a very warm welcome and because of the blip they said we could have a free pudding…..not sure if we all did or it was just mine but I never see the bill as we were treated to this. To finish the evening off we were given a lovely limoncello shot. We would definitely go back. Thankyou for a lovely evening in your restaurant"

"If you have ever been to Italy you will recognise Oregano as being authentic in every respect- the interior and table decorations are plain and decidedly un-fancy, but don't let the plastic table covers stop you from getting the best Italian food in Islington. Everything about this place transports me to Florence; The wine is served in dinky tumblers, the beers are Italian brands such as Nastro Azzuro, the staff are all Italian born and bred, the bread basket contains grissini in plastic packaging, and the food Oh the food The pizzas- out of this world. Proper wood fired thin crust pizzas with top quality produce on them; from the home-made tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella to the chargrilled peppers and various meats used, everything is fresh, delicious and so vastly superior to the usual pizzas we get unceremoniously flung at us in this country that it's a wonder any of the other pizza purveyors in Islington are still in business- I guess being tucked down an alleyway and looking rather unimposing means Oregano is a well kept secret. As for the rest of the menu, everything is incredible. The pasta is made fresh on the premises and comes with authentic Italian sauces such as the knee-knockingly delicious ragu. The steaks are chargrilled and huge, the fish is fresh and light- I challenge anyone to go here and not have a fantastic, cheap, grin inspiring meal. I would love to give Oregano more praise but I'm getting hungry just thinking about the place, but I'll end with one more insight into just how fantastic, relaxed and, without wanting to sound cheesy, quaint this place is- the staff put up with me practising my Italian on them whenever I come into the restaurant, saving me money on expensive refresher lessons after stopping my linguistic studies many years ago. Friendlier, more attentive staff cannot be found in any other Islington eatery, guaranteed, and if you can prove me wrong I'll eat my hat [as long as it comes smothered in that heavenly ragu]."

"I have to say I'm really not impressed with my experience at this restaurant. We sat down at the table and was waiting 10 minutes and no one came and asked did we want a drink. In the end my partner ended up getting up himself to order our drinks and wait for them. We then waited a further 10 minutes for our order to be taken. We had been in the restaurant around 45 minutes and was just in to our starter meal. When our main food came my partners meal didn't come with the chips it said it did on the menu so we had to ask for them. While we was eating our main my partner had to make a trip to the bar again because the 1 waiter that was on shift all night didn't ask us once did we need another drink. Overall experience was very poor only 2 members of staff on the floor one of them was a receptionist, if you are understaffed you need to be aware of how many people you have booked at the hotel and realise you could get busy, agent staff was quite obviously needed on this occasion. There was around 7 or 8 other tables and everyone was complaining about the service. We can't all be wrong I'm afraid. Didn't even bother having desert as we over heard the waiter telling another table that 3 of them wasn't even available which is not good enough in my opinion. Coming away from the restaurant we checked our receipt to work out what we had from the menu doesn't add up to what we have been charged for, we have been overcharged which has ruined any idea of even contemplating returning in the future. Having already paid for breakfast we had to return in the morning but they didn't make up at all, not good value for money and the choice of how you would like your egg is stated on the menu, I asked the 1 waiter again if I could have scrambled egg he returned saying it wasn't possible. To then over hear another person requesting scrambled egg in which they got. Appalled at how we was treated and would recommend to no one."
