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.

I had a beautiful time for my birthday. The patio is charming. There were no bad appetizers. We love a good butter-roasted Brussels spout. My friends with gluten intolerances said this was the best pizza they have ever had. The sourdough crust was fresh and delicious. I’ll be back!

A lovely, quaint Italian restaurant with an intimate ambiance. There is opportunity for improvement with regard to service, but the service is not horrible. The food is good. The bread & dipping oil, lasagna & tiramisu were all great values in terms of portion and taste. A recommended venue if you’re craving some good Italian food in a unique, clean setting.
