Italian
Credo is the Latin word for "I believe." We believe that good food and good company go hand in hand. We believe in the time-honored tradition of the dinner table debate and the swirling mix of ideas that makes this country great. We believe simple things can be brilliant, like authentic, responsibly sourced ingredients, attention to detail and gracious hospitality. Credo opened on Martin Luther King Jr. day in 2010. Our chef, Larry Finn, creates a menu that reflects his deep appreciation of Italian culinary traditions combined with Northern California sensibilities. Distilling robust and complex flavors from simple ingredients, local produce, sustainable seafood and meats, and imported Italian specialty items.

    loud, mediocre “Italian” food that’s extremely bland. Not sure if it’s a hotel restaurant but it sure tastes like it. Also, it needs a major remodel - the tacky quote wall hangings should be taken down asap.

    Had dinner with a friend. It was very cold in the restaurant and they left the front doors open. The eggplant meatballs were awesome and my cavatelli pasta was good as well. Service was very friendly and accommodating. The Beignets dessert was disappointing.

    Great find in the financial district of SF. Nice ambiance and friendly staff. Food was outstanding with lots of meatless options. Great for business meals. They were nice to separate out our meals per person for easy reimbursement. I would highly recommend this place. Everything tasted fresh and used high quality ingredients.

    The service staff were all so incredibly kind and attentive without overdoing it. The hostess was nice but not too talkative. The food was exceptional. My only complaint would be the noise level but that’s kind of out of their control.

    Credo is a gem of a restaurant and a great reason to dine in the Financial District. The duck confit was outstanding and a side of the delicious credo potatoes melted in our mouths. Cavatelli pasta was so fresh and the asparagus was so good. The service was attentive, friendly but not too intrusive. We will definitely go back to Credo again for lunch or dinner.

    The food was delicious, but I had seen a menu on this site and it had way more things that I was drooling over than what was on their current menu. I realize now it was from 2022. They should update it. Great neighborhood spot.

    Credo has been my go to place for business lunches for years since it is across the street from my office. Indoors can be noisy but outside has been great. This particular lunch ended badly however. After spending about $100 on lunch with my board chair starting at 12:00, at 1:30, as my board chair was finishing tea, the manager came out and rudely asked if we would be leaving soon. I could have understood this behavior if it had been the middle of the lunch rush or we were the last people there but neither was true. I won't be going back to Credo anytime soon.

    We were seated downstairs in what seemed like the dungeon, no sunlight at all, super loud since it was a low ceiling room. Small salad portions, jsut a few leaves of spinach. Hummus gave us like 5 chips to dip. The only thing that was generous was the bread, big piece for each person.

    Good vibe! Server was kind and helpful. I enjoyed the extensive quotes on the walls for decor. The burratta was delicious and a big portion (plenty for two to share as an app). The crispy skin salmon was okay - cooked properly, but the skin wasn't crispy, which was a disappointment. The rest of the plate had some good flavor to go with the salmon. Somewhat pricey for the level of food; I'd return, though!

    We had a business dinner this week, and we hosted a total of 5 persons, and we had a table right at the front of the restaurant. The food and service were excellent, and we loved the appetizers suggested: hummus (homemade and outstanding), shrimp, burrata. Our waitress suggested the crispy skin salmon which was cooked perfectly and was excellent. Our guests tried the risotto which may have been a special and it was OK. They should have ordered the salmon which was phenomenal.

    Overall a fine lunch experience although a) pricing was very expensive- $32 for a crab sandwich and chips? That's just crazy. b) comments from some of our diners that they were expecting more vegetables in the otherwise kinda bland risotto

    Nice casual place with good food to gather and meet up with friends. Was easy to hear each other (in fact, we were probably the loudest ones there) but distanced enough from other diners that it was fine. Our server was very nice and the food came out timely, even with a 12 noon booking.

    Upstairs is super loud, and given it's in FiDi and I was probably not the only one there for a lunch meeting, seems weird. So we went downstairs instead, which is tons better, but then you can hear the music, which was appalling. So you couldn't win either way. Still, good food.
