CRU Wine Bar & Shop

Artisan wines from small producers paired with European café fare including charcuterie, pizza, and specialty Verona coffee.

CRU Wine Bar & Shop on Middlefield Road in Redwood City brings wine, light Italian-influenced food, and bottle shopping together in one casual stop. The combination suits a relaxed glass with friends, a snack before a movie, or the search for a bottle to enjoy at home. We like a wine bar that gives the food a useful supporting role without requiring a full dinner. Charcuterie and pizza provide approachable companions to the wine selection, with cured meats offering several possibilities for sharing. Indoor and outdoor seating add flexibility to the visit. Created by restaurateur Donato Scotti, CRU takes inspiration from the European enoteca, blending a neighborhood gathering place with a wine merchant. Its downtown location makes it an easy addition to an evening in Redwood City.
