The seeds of Oregano go all the way back to the mid 1900's when Siegfried, a German chef, left home in Cologne and traveled around Europe is in search of flavours. When Siegfried reached Liguria in the North West coast of Italy, he discovered a cuisine that captured his palate and Mirella, who captured his heart and eventually became his wife. Maurizio was born soon after. Their family run restaurant served food for the soul.Maurizio did not turn out to be a Chef but he could explain flavours like no other. It was a chance meeting with two brothers that the flavours Maurizio knew as a child would be replicated. Tony had a Hotel Management Degree from Switzerland & Australia and George, a business man who had the ability to transform these gifts to a business model with passion.The three of them connected well. Tony with his creative flair and passion towards cooking and was able to replicate flavours from Liguria and all of them were convinced that this dining experience was to be rolled out to the world. They decided to open a small restaurant in Dubai serving Ligurian inspired cuisine. The first Oregano restaurant ever!With the passion becoming contagious, today Oregano boasts 10 restaurants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi serving Ligurian inspired dishes prepared with flavour for all Oregano guests to experience and enjoy. Oregano is now growing the brand internationally with the franchise model and privately owned outlets and one day will open an outlet in Liguria where the journey actually started.
