Casa La Tida: Mediterranean meets Okinawan cuisine

After a lovely Saturday enjoying some of Okinawa's northern areas, we stopped for dinner at a restaurant that we had quite enjoyed for Aaron & Masayo's rehearsal dinner last year (on Josh's 30th b'day), Casa La Tida, in Onna-son. This was our first time to actually peruse the menu & choose our food, last year's visit having included a set menu for the entire party. The four of us (Aaron, Masayo, Betsy & Josh) each chose a different entree to sample - grilled chicken, Milanese-style pork, fish cartoccio & Okinawan vegetable paella (ranging in price from 1200 to 1600 yen per dish). Each was quite tasty, or as Betsy was insistent upon declaring, "Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-licious!"

From Okinawa FOOD!!!

That looks seriously Oishii - after the J.U. review I wanted to go, but that picture sealed the deal! Thanks.
