- DDanielleSan Diego •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIf you are looking for fresh, expertly prepared seafood, Crudo and Ceviche is top-tier. Every dish we tried was incredible, but the highlights of the night were easily the octopus and the ceviche. The octopus was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor, and the ceviche was wonderfully fresh, bright, and delicious. The entire meal was fantastic from start to finish—can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! Paolo was a great server and was very attentive and helpful.More infoCrudo Ceviche & Oyster Bar$$$$• Mexican• Little Italy•4.5
