Crudo e Nudo is truly a special place. One of my favorite restaurants in all of LA. I had the tasting menu for lunch and every single dish I received was spectacular. It was incredibly well priced. With the quality they are serving, they should be charging double.
The chef lets the ingredients speak for themselves . You can tell that they use the highest quality fish and they do little to the seafood, but they know how to elevate each ingredients.
The Kampachi and percebes really stood out to me. As well as the grilled prawns with the green melon. Truly unbelievable. Every single dish on the menu is 10 out of 10. You will not disappointed with a meal here, please treat yourself and go as soon as you can.

A fresh marketplace-esk spin on crudo and light bites.
We saw this adorable little restaurant while out on a walk with friends and made it a point to come back for lunch. The patio was the perfect backdrop to the cool, savory fish dishes we tried.
Since it all looked good, we ordered the chefs trio and the noodles. It was so fun taking in all the different flavors, each bite brining its own sea story.
Even if you are not going in for a meal, I highly recommend stopping in to see what’s in the market and maybe pick up a bottle of wine or two!
What a fun and refreshing experience on Main St!

The food was delicious and fresh. Not your everyday flavour combinations but executed beautifully. Do yourself a favour and order the peaches (if they still have any left!). Our server was very sweet as well 💓

Definitely go here!! Truly spectacular. The service was out of this world!!
I had the chef sampler of three crudo, shown in this image, just wonderfully perfect. Nothing but amazing. My dining partner had their take on the Caesar salad which he loved and the shrimp, both described on the menu photo. And they looked wonderfully parole presented and he also enjoyed thoroughly.
We sat at a nice large table in the window. Of course it's a small restaurant with just a few seats inside and like all the restaurants on main Street it has a very nice quaint outdoor dining area. They clearly took pride in making it elegant and refined.

Crudo e Nudo has quickly become a favorite of ours! We've already been a couple of times, and each visit has been fantastic. They offer a daily menu with a variety of incredibly tasty crudo (raw fish) and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
The oysters are an absolute must-try. We were pleasantly surprised by how well the pink grapefruit paired with the seafood – it added a bright and refreshing touch. But the real star of the show for us has been the gnocchi with seafood 'nduja. Oh my goodness, the flavors are incredible! It's a perfectly balanced dish with tender gnocchi, fresh seafood, and a spicy kick from the 'nduja.
The service is also top-notch. Everyone is friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They're happy to answer any questions and offer recommendations. And don't be fooled by the name – while they specialize in Italian-inspired cuisine, no one actually speaks Italian! :-)
Seating is somewhat limited inside, but they have a lovely patio with heaters, making it a comfortable dining experience even when it's a bit chilly out. We'll have to update this review in the winter to see how it fares in colder temperatures, but for now, it's a great spot to enjoy some delicious food and great service.

This is my favorite restaurant, and I've come here over and over with family and friends for the last three years. The fish is always so fresh and paired with interesting flavors that emphasize the taste of the fish. My favorite thing to do is order some bread to dip in all of the delicious oils and sauces that they use for the crudo.
They also have fantastic vegetable dishes like the vegan caesar and chickpea toast. Their wine list is constantly changing and has fantastic options that are always exciting and pair nicely with the food.
The service is phenomenal every time, and I love the outdoor seating.
Overall, it's a really special experience that I would definitely recommend checking out!

We randomly found this place for lunch during my trip, and we absolutely loved it. Oysters and shrimp were so fresh and creamy, perfect match with glass of white wine. They have such unique recipes for salad with miso and maple syrup dressing which is our favorite. 100% recommend!

4.5 stars as nothing is perfect, right? That said, I'm happy to give Crudo 5 stars (rather than 4) because the service and food were top notch. It is, as other reviewers have pointed out, casual dining. Inside tables are few - and the decor basic - so you sit street-side. The effort is concentrated on fresh, sustainable ingredients, knowledgeable staff and good flavours.
The menu changes frequently depending on availability and this is to be celebrated. Consequently, the menu is displayed on a chalk board and you order inside.
We sampled around 8/9 different dishes which arrive at the table as they are prepared so sharing is the best option. All were delicious. Some have reported that the prices are high (and the portions small?), this is the price you pay for quality food. Our meal for 4 in which we had more than enough food, drinks and tip came to around $250. Is that high for quality food?
I hope I have the opportunity to return.

I’ve been coming to Crudo for years, and it’s one of my favorite spots in LA. The food is always fresh and innovative, with friendly and laid back service. Everything is delicious, but the oysters, lobster gnocchi, and bass Crudo are dishes that make me keep coming back. Such a local gem, would highly recommend to anyone wanting a unique seafood experience!
Yum and expensive but well worth it!
