About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for business meals
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.

    This is a wonderful restaurant- have eaten there’s multiple times, the food is consistently good, both traditional Greek dishes and some newer classics being represented. The service Is professional, attentive and knowledgeable. This restaurant if great for special occasions or casual evening. My only complaint is the relative paucity of Greek wines by the glass on the menu.

    10/10 Everything was perfection point of arrival to food to service as well as decor. This is truly a special experience full of flavors and charm. We started with the octopus appetizer that was unreal, then the whole grilled fish changed our lives! Finish off with a sundae.

    Everything was excellent--it's no surprise Kokkari is so popular. I particularly want to highlight the service and how attentive they are to customers. Michele Di Ruocco is always extremely helpful and makes us feel at home. He handled a request for the couple whose anniversary we were celebrating effortlessly and generously. They were thrilled. It pays to have some Italians in a Greek restaurant. After all, as they say in Greece, "una faccia, una razza."

    Probably my favorite place to have lunch in San Francisco. We only order appetizers. And we order more than we can eat in one meal so we can taste tons of dishes. Then we have a great dinner of leftovers.
