About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Kōbo is a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant inspired by Chef Ruben Rodriguez' travels throughout the Mediterranean.
Kobo offers sharable snacks and starters as well as seven handmade pastas–including our signature fideua.
Fideua is a pasta paella dish originating from Falencia in 1915, abroad a fishing boat, due to the lack of rice available by fisherman Joan Pascual during his travels along the coast of Spain.
Kobo celebrates the improvisation often seen in gastronomy.

    We love Kobo by Nai. The shared small plates are just right and make dining with friends a great experience. The wine list is creative and designed to go with their unique and flavorful dishes. The room is beautiful and the staff is at the ready for any questions you may have. We feel fortunate to have this restaurant in our neighborhood and dine here frequently and recommend it highly!

    We went for a birthday dinner. It was our first time, and we chose it because it looked nice and had good reviews. This dinner surpassed our expectations. Every dish was really delicious, and the service was very good. Will definitely be back.

    This was the most delicious food! We came hungry and ordered a lot of things - each plate that came was better than the next! Loved the ravioli, broccoli rabe, fish, lamb - still can’t decide which we loved the most. Ambiance and decor were beautiful. Cool, sexy restaurant. Service was outstanding. Bar is gorgeous! Even loved the bathrooms! Will definitely be back soon!
