If you love Italian Food and a cheerful atmosphere this is the place to go.
Every time we go to Al Forsan Village, we see this cool Italian restaurant Oregano and keep telling ourselves we really need to try this so finally we managed to go over last night for dinner and it turned out to be a fantastic place with superb food and great ambiance, a real Hidden Gem of Abu Dhabi.
We were seated in no time; menus were handed out and soon a free platter of bread and dips arrived while we made our choices.
Here’s what we tried, the restaurant was using mostly disposables in compliance with the current safety needs.
The Order
Garlic Bread with Cheese -This was our starter, a freshly baked Baguette with garlic butter and melted Mozzarella cheese topped with some herbs, hot and crunchy perfect taste and texture and a good start to the meal.
Braised Beef Brisket – This is one of the Chef’s Special, braised cubes of Brisket topped with Tomato Sauce on a bed of Garlic Mash Potatoes, the meat was braised to perfection, tender and moist and the mash mixed with the tomato sauce was divine, a true star dish.
Cajun Fish Fillet – This was simply amazing, a fillet of white fish seared to perfection, crusty on the outside moist and flaky just crumbled into the Risotto which was also just amazing, the added crunch of the Okra bits.
Chicken Parmigiana – This was another fantastic dish, tender chicken breast perfectly cooked in a hearty Tomato sauce with a side of Garlic Spinach sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of Olive Oi, tasted fantastic, perfect balance of spice and seasoning.
Fusilli Primavera – The pasta was al dente the sauce was fantastic and we loved the mushrooms and vegetables were perfect, the dish had a very balanced feel and taste.
Cannoli Siciliani – We ended with a classic Cannoli which was perfect as well, the guys loved it.
The Verdict
Its very rare to go eat at a restaurant and find all dishes to be perfect, well done Oregano, great food, fantastic service, lovely ambiance, perfect portions at a good price point.
Will definitely be back soon to try more.
