- DDaveSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was so nice to sit out on the patio midday yesterday to celebrate a late Father’s Day lunch. The weather was fantastic. The corner we were seated in was quiet so my father could hear everything. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our Italian rosé.

- KKathrynSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 6, 2025We met for happy hour hour type dinner and order a lot of things five dishes in all everything was lovely very well prepared. The owner took care of us and was very good natured with questions about ingredients — even brought out the package from the feta to show us. It was sheep feta from Bulgaria(very good!) He has done a great job of bringing dishes from around the Mediterranean to his menu and they are all nicely prepared. Hummus was terrific, light and delicate and nuanced. The dining room is really pleasant, light and airy and decorated with gorgeous glass chandeliers from Turkey. It’s on the corner and I really hope he gets business that he should. We don’t have another strong candidate for Mediterranean food. His is certainly worth a visit.More infoKalimeraPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Santa Rosa•4.4
