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.

    We have been coming to Lupa for the past 18 years. Lupa Trattoria in San Francisco offers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Roman cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. We were particularly impressed by the amatriciana, which was as authentic as any you’d find in Rome, with perfectly balanced flavors that showcased the traditional preparation. Stefano's attention to detail in the dishes reflects a deep respect for Roman culinary traditions.

    We loved the welcoming staff and server. The food is delicious, and the drinks are original (not a full bar). But we were rushed toward the end of our meal because all the other patrons had left, and the staff wanted to close up. In total, we were in only for 56 min, and at 8:00 pm, we were in the street. I didn't have time to finish my drink. We will again, though.
