Cotto & Crudo

Walking into Cotto & Crudo immediately brought me back to Italy, and the best part was it was less than 3 minutes away from my office making it an ideal go to lunch spot under $ 13. The employees were friendly and bilingual in both Italian and English. A majority of the menu is made to order — the rigatoni Carbonara we ordered (I know, not very ‘Italian’ but the heart wants what it wants) was fresh and piping hot and full of creamy, heavenly goodness and loaded with bits of ham and other things that were going to have me avoiding the scale for a few days.
The only «aw, maaaan» factor is their hours. I made the recommendation as a dinner option to my co worker and when she arrived their at a little after 5:30pm, they were closed for the day. Cotto & Crudo is going to make for some seriously fierce competition in the other wise perpetually packed Dimanno Bakery that’s a few blocks away.

This place is great it’s close to my office so I just walk over for lunch. The service is great from the servers to the cook, and so is the food.
I have tried their veal sandwich, salad, and steak and every single one has impressed me so far.
Definitely a great place.
