In Italian, crudo (Italian: [ˈkruːdo]) means 'raw'.[1] In Italian cuisine, this word can be used to describe many kinds of food: for example, pesce crudo means 'raw fish', and carne cruda means 'raw meat', similar to steak tartare.

A typical dish of crudo consists of raw fish dressed with olive oil, salt, acidic juices (such as lemon or lime), and vinegar.[2]

New York chef and author David Pasternack describes crudo as Italian sashimi.[2]

When Italians use "crudo" alone in food context, they mean "prosciutto crudo" (to distinguish from "cotto", which is ham).
