Crudo Cevicheria and Oyster Bar Brings Flavors of Baja to Little Italy | Eater San Diego

"A sleek spot for seafood touches down on India Street this week, replacing a shuttered dessert shop in the heart of Little Italy; it features glass doors that open to the sidewalk and a large streetside patio that’s being turned into a permanent parklet. Co-owned by Fernando Montiel, Fernando González, and Eduardo Bustamante (who also run La Taqueria Tijuana), the restaurant dedicates a section of its newly-elongated bar to an interactive sushi-style counter where three chefs will prepare and assemble plates. Executive chef Miguel Angel Gomez’s menu ranges from platters of raw oysters and clams to red and green shrimp aguachile and seafood cocktails, with dishes that meld Mexican, Asian, Peruvian, and Italian influences—including tuna and scallop tostadas dressed with guajillo chile mayo and ponzu, octopus carpaccio topped with capers, parmesan, and arugula, and kampachi and sea urchin ceviche with passion fruit—and offers seafood-friendly drinks like champagne, sake, beer, and a selection of wine from France and Mexico. Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to midnight on weekends." - Candice Woo
