Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

Families and friends leaving the frenetic pace of the city behind can experience a lighter and decidedly more Italian mood celebrating in our new private dining room, the traditional room or on the patio as the irresistible scents of warm pastas, herb-infused meats, and the sweet honey and nut coated sfingi with vanilla bean gelato shake permeate the surrounding space. Bewitching and eclectic wines from Italy and California complement the weekly changing menus that Chef Julio Mis crafts with joy and delight for our neighborhood friends!

    Due to the popularity that is now on social media, our reservation was a year out for 2 people. They have a valet service in the front so you do not need to find parking and the price was reasonable for a Saturday night in the city. This place is busy with so many diners inside. This was my husband’s and I first time coming. The menu its self was extremely simple which we loved and easy to understand and they have a great wine list. The prime rib was excellent and we were so full after we were done. I was going to go for seconds but started to get the meat sweats. So I decided to make room for dessert. I would say if you are wanting to go, you might have a better chance for an earlier reservation if you book as a group. We are so glad that we went and would come back again.

    While the noise level is very high, the food and service is excellent!! The beet salad was possibly the best either of us have ever eaten, the agnolotti is exceptional, and the chocolate desert was rich without over doing it! What a fantastic evening we were able to share at a truly exceptional restaurant in SF. Thanks for making it special.

    Good service. Lamb chops and stuffed eggplant are scrumptious! The restaurant is a little bit dark. I would prefer a little brighter environment.
