What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant Bar El Patio Okinawa is celebrated for its delicious Neapolitan-style pizzas and authentic tapas, offering a vibrant atmosphere with friendly service. While many praise the quality and taste of the food, some reviews note that pizzas can be on the smaller side. It's a popular spot for both locals and visitors seeking a satisfying meal at reasonable prices, though occasional inconsistencies in timing have been mentioned.
"Great Tapas, and pretty good Neapolitan- style pizza too. Also an all-you-can-drink (in 90 minutes) option and optional set menus. It's a pretty small place but wasn't too busy. Seating is available at the bar if no tables are open. Wife and I had garden salad, diavolo pizza, Spanish omelette (Tortilla de papas), and Gambas al ajillo. Everything was delicious and price was good considering the quality. Some menu items offer a choice of large or small serving. Update: went to this place again. They were unexpectedly closed on a Tuesday evening, so we went on Thursday. Had the shrimp ajillo and fried shrimp again, and also had the 5-piece Tapas sampler (chef's choice), bruschetta with spicy chilies and vegetables, and roast pork with mashed potatoes, white wine and herb sauce. Everything as great. In our 7 nights in Naha, this was the best restaurant by far. Order anything on the menu, you can't go wrong."

"All the dishes were delicious. The pizza, ham, and pasta here were tasty(๑´ڡ`๑) I couldn’t understand the menu, but the staff member making the pizza was really friendly and patiently explained all the ingredients to me. He was very attentive and actively communicated with me, which really touched me and made me feel grateful🙌🏻 The other staff were also very nice, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great and relaxed. The food here was much better than the other restaurant near Asahibashi Station run by a Roman chef, and the prices were really reasonable. I really enjoyed it. If I visit Okinawa again, I’ll definitely come back to this restaurant. Thank you for your hospitality!🙌🏻💖"

"Pizzas here are a bit on the small side, but I think it's still probably one of the best places to go for pizza in Naha."

EL Patio, a 7-minute walk from Asahibashi Station, is a bar that feels like a quiet hideaway. We recommend the "Tapas Platter" where you can choose from 3, 5, or 8 types depending on the number of people. You can enjoy it with the natural wines available in about 14 types by the bottle and about 8 types by the glass.
