Crudo specializes in raw preparations, with oysters served fresh from the bar alongside ceviche and other cold seafood dishes. The restaurant's focus on ceviche and raw fish means the oyster program is carefully maintained to match that quality standard. Each oyster is shucked to order, ensuring maximum freshness and the ideal texture contrast between the briny meat and crisp shell. The Little Italy setting and dedicated oyster bar create an intimate seafood-focused experience.
