Coastal Virginia Culinary Awards Winner 2024
From the Nov.-Dec. 2024 issue of Coastal Virginia Magazine:
There’s nothing quite like crudo nudo in Coastal Virginia. Chef-owner Eric Nelson has crafted a truly unique dining experience, where raw dishes, handmade pastas and inventive tapas come together to take center stage. The menu takes bold risks, delivering unexpected flavors that push the boundaries of what you’d expect from the local dining scene. Whether it’s the Tuna Crudo, decadent creamy pastas, or the Spanish Board, every dish feels like a revelation—original, memorable and deeply craveable.
The atmosphere is equally one-of-a-kind, with whimsical papasan chairs, swinging seats, and colorful murals that create a playful, bohemian vibe. And behind the bar, Josh Seaburg’s cocktail and wine lists are nothing short of brilliant, far exceeding expectations for a spot this size. The creativity, eclectic charm, and distinct point of view at crudo nudo make it unlike anything else in town—a restaurant that not only stands out but redefines the local dining scene in exciting, unexpected ways.
