"A sleek spot for seafood touches down on India Street this week with the arrival of Crudo, a new restaurant and bar that replaces a shuttered dessert shop in the heart of Little Italy. With glass doors that open up the space to the sidewalk, the restaurant also has a large streetside patio that’s in the process of becoming a permanent parklet. Executive chef Miguel Angel Gomez’s menu ranges from platters of raw oysters and clams to red and green shrimp aguachile and seafood cocktails, along with fresh seafood dishes that meld Mexican, Asian, Peruvian, and Italian cuisine, 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. Seafood-friendly drinks like champagne, sake, beer, and selection of wine from France and Mexico will also be available." - Candice Woo

I'm so glad that we stumbled upon this place. I had the Two Face Tostada, and it was incredible. I loved everything about it. My husband had the Aguachile Verde, and that was delicious as well! The Blood Orange drink was so fresh. We absolutely loved everything we had, and we will definitely be back.

It really enjoyed happy hour here! The service was so sweet but just a little bit slow. Fish & oysters were fresh and delish!

Went here for happy hour. Prices are fair for the quality of food at those prices. I did have to ask for a napkin and my food went to the wrong table 2 times, but it was a good experience overall. Service was quick food was excellent the aguachiles verde was a bit saltier that the place I typically go. Regardless, I'll probably be back to try more of the happy hour menu. 12 oysters, guacamole, wine and aguachiles verde cost me 41 and change. Left 50 and called it a day.

My own experience in Crudo was completely different from what I was expecting (other reviews would ask you to expect inattentive staff and long wait times). Food was amazing, albeit on the salty side. Would definitely come back though

A delightful find in Little Italy! The patio is an awesome atmosphere for dinner. Absolutely to die for dishes - the octopus carpaccio and the tostada that includes the orange and pomegranate. Absolutely amazing food all around, friendly service, and definitely a place we’ll go out of our way to stop at the next time we are in town!

Food was wonderful, I ordered 3 items, and I inhaled it! My friend and I both agreed that the best surprise to this meal is the house chili sauce. I know it sounds weird, but a few drops of the chili sauce really helped the flavors of EVERYTHING we put it on. Just a few drops or even a light drizzle and even the crackers were ahhmazing. The seafood is obviously good, but WITH the chili sauce it truly completed every bite. Service was good, they checked in several times throughout our meal, and the interior decorations and wallpaper were really inviting. I would absolutely come here again, but next time, I'll ask if they sell that chili oil.

Trendy atmosphere located on little italy with inside and outside seating. Ceviche and oyster bar. I can't comment on the food as I did a cocktail in a high top chair on the street looking in to restaurant. Excellent wine menu, I loved the Spain albarino
