About this business
Our restaurant shares a name with the highway that runs from Naples to Canosa, Puglia. True to our namesake, we gather our inspiration from southern Italy, particularly Campania, the region surrounding Naples. Chef David Taylor oversees the menu, which features fresh pasta, house-butchered and house-cured meats and authentic Neapolitan pizza. Complementing the rustic menu, Wine Director/owner Shelley Lindgren selects wines that highlight the indigenous grapes from Campania and nearby regions. Since we opened A16 in February,... read more

Great Pizza and Salumi – It was hard to get a reservation to this place, so we settled on an early evening seating. Although we were told beforehand that we needed to leave by a certain time, we were never rushed. Comfortable place, but can get a little loud. Great sausage pizza, and great plates of burrata and soppressata. Would go back any time for those. Desserts were good, but my chocolate dessert, while interesting with touches of olive oil and sea salt, was a bit too savory for my taste.
Great Pizza, Crappy Service – I have been to this restaurants a couple of times and it is different every time. I think I have figured it out: they prefer their customers to be just a table for two and gorgous. When I have been with just a date service is fine, when I showed up with my family, who happens to be from the campania region of italy, they made us wait 40 minutes after our set reservation time!! And they were rude and snide and made us feel like we were inconviencing them. Funny, cuz we were the ones planning on d... read more
Best Northern Italian food in the Bay Area – I was vowed by the excellent food, excellent service and the New York ambience at A16 - the first I went, and then, again, the second and third time. In my opinion, it serves the best pizzas in San Francisco, and maybe even the US. It's time for Mario Batali to consider himself second best since A16's pizzas reign supreme. The wine list has something for everyone's taste buds and different pocket sizes, and the food always impresses. Two thumbs up. For those who go back, please or... read more
Good food, nice ambiance – The ambiance in A16 is high-energy without being loud and overwhelming. The food is good, but rather pricey for what you get. I recommend sitting at the chef's station and watching the cooks in action.
Awesome dinning experience – Went to A16 and I have to say it was amazing. This is a place to come and have a dinning experience. The food is good and is served as small plates. You order in courses and you can either order a bottle of wine or have a flight of different wines. By the way, as you have read the wine list is crazy big. This place is always busy and it is very hard to get a reservation, however it is one of those places you can dine at late and it will be very romantic. I find it to be a place that you must dine... read more
Dissapointed – The pizza was great and the wine list deserves the accolades that it constantly receives. But the other food that came was average, if not below average. The pork loin was almost entirely fat (i.e. white and grissly) so I feel like I barely got to eat. The service was so-so but the ambience was nice. I guess next time I'd just go there for wine and order a pizza as an appetizer. I was bummed b/c so many critics have given A16 such rave reviews....seems like it may have gotten ahead of itself with some of the o... read more
CHEF BOY ARDEE TASTES BETTER THAN THIS FOOD – I WAS SO EXCITED TO FINALLY GET A RESERVATION HERE AND WAS SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT ALL THE RAVE IS ABOUT. ALL 4 DISHES WE ORDERED WERE VERY BLAND. THE RED WINE TASTED LIKE VINEGAR. THE MARGARITA PIZZA TASTED LIKE THEY USED CAMPBELL'S TOMATO SOUP FOR THE SAUCE; ACTUALLY CAMPBELLS SOUP WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN THE MEAL I HAD HERE. IF U LIKE BLAND TASELESS FOOD THAN YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY EAT HERE!
Abosulutely loved it – My girlfriend and her family who hail from Caserta (Campania) and I ate at A16 for the first time yesterday. My girlfriend's family was almost in tear when they saw dishes like the maccaronara with ragu, the tripe, whole roasted favas, squid ink pasta, and house cured meats on the menu. The ended up in joyful tears when they tasted the food and memories of their homeland came gushing through. Service was also very attentive. The food at A16 is regional Italian and a far cry to the Italian American shlo... read more
Decent Food, HORRIBLE Service! – We made a reservation a week in advance and still had to wait 20 minutes for our table. They seated 3 of us at a 2 person table in the middle of the floor. We felt very exposed and awkward. We ordered water, drinks, and appetizers, and then they asked us to move! They forgot to give us napkins and bread plates. They did not bring our drinks until after we had finished the appetizers. Wait person did not return until we had finished our meals. Food was decent, but not what I had expected from ... read more
