Why Travelers Love Kokkalo
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Don’t leave Santorini without trying to Vegetarian risotto. Hands down one of the most flavorful meals I’ve had. My fiancé doesn’t even like warm tomatoes and ate every bite of the tomato fritters. Very nice staff, great atmosphere and fair prices. Anytime we’re on the island, we will make Kokkalo a priority stop. Love this place! Great view and the food is wonderful. Had the tzatziki and baked feta as starters, then a Greek vegetable risotto with feta mousse and a lamb shanks that was cooked to perfection! We had an amazing experience at Kokkalo! The smoked pork, pork slices, and baked feta in pie crust were absolutely delicious, and the pita was fresh and tasty. The lava cake was the perfect finish. Honestly, everything we tried was outstanding. Staff were welcoming and attentive, and the food is truly out of this world. A must visit in Santorini!

We had dinner here and enjoyed it so much we decided to do the afternoon cooking class the following day, and absolutely loved it. The chef was incredible and we all had such a laugh. He was very knowledgeable and the food we made was delicious. We certainly didnt leave hungry!
