Credo - A tasty find in the Financial District

My office is on Sutter street between Union Square and the Financial District. Finding a decent place for lunch that isn't a hotel or a "quick bite" is a constant challenge. On a recent walk from the ferry I discovered Credo, an alluring glass fronted establishment on Pine, after checking out the menu (which was described by the pretty hostess as "Italian with other interesting ingredients"), I made a reservation.

The scene was buzzing with an upwardly mobile lunch crowd, every table was taken. A simple menu presented pastas, salads and pizzas. The salmon nicoise was delicious as was the lasagne. Friendly and knowledgeable staff added to the experience and matched the thought provoking art installations that adorned the restaurant walls. It won't break the bank like a PerBacco but is a little more than average. Try it out next time you are in need of quality food and shelter downtown.
