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

Do not waste your time or money! – My boyfriend took me there last night for my bday. He made reservations 3weeks ago, yet they seated us 55 mins after our reservation time of 8pm. The mozzarrella appetizer had no taste. Which turned out to be a blessing compared to the recommended pasta which had a salty flavor, making it impossible to finish. We tried the pork that everyone has raved about. It was good, but not worth the endless praise. The chocolate dessert tasted stale to me but the anaise sauce was very good. After wait... read more
All U people are nuts! – My wife and I had wonderful time at A16 last night. I couldn't believe the nasty things some people said. We came in on their Christmas Party evening of all nights and we were the last couple in the restaurant and we would have never known it. The meal began with a beautiful bottle of wine selected by a very knowledgeable sommelier. The list was reasonable for the city. We had a perfect amount of time inbetween courses as the service was impeccable. The food was amazing, we had a fennel salami (cured... read more
Wine was very good – The best part of the meal was the wine. Ther service was above par as well. Unfortuatly when my soup came it was scalding and I burnt my tounge. Which could been a blessing. For when the pizza came it was a sogging mess that actually feel apart it was so mushy. Not worht the hype.
Believe the hype – If you expect Cal Italian fusion or Italian American food, you will be disappointed. The food at A16 is simple, rustic, and regionally authentic. Some dishes are truly incredible such as the cuddle fish salad with pureed potatoes. (Note the poster who claimed it was a fish salad...if you can't tell between cuddle fish and fish, maybe you should not be writing reviews...). The gnocchi with porcini, the romana pizza, braised short ribs, and side of beans were also delicious. Waiter was brisk but curteous and... read more
Don't believe the hype – Could not be more disappointed in this place. Consider that I have tried to make reservations at this place before with no avail. So this past Saturday I finally got to taste this place. My boyfriend actually called me yesterday to make sure I wrote my review. The lentil soup had zero flavor! We had a salad that was incredily basic, a cold fish plate mixed with potatoes, kinda good but nothing special. I don't want to say this was the worst place as I actually enjoyed my pizza. And would recommend th... read more
Ok but it can be better – Nice spot but the waiters act like they are models. They are there to serve food not to act like they are celebrities, but I guess that is what people want no in days. Food is excellent, service is below average and the price is average.
Better service. . . – Because of what plenty of others have written, I was braced for lots of attitude at this place. Instead, I was quite surprised at how pleasant everyone was. Sommelier, host and hostess, server, food runners, etc. They were all great, although our server had way too many tables. The space is gorgeous but really loud despite a cork wall and floor. Don't go with the hard of hearing. I thought the wine list had really reasonable markups for SF. The food was hit or miss, though. Pizza was undercooked and hea... read more
You can read this book by its cover – This is not a warm & folksy place. That said, it had nice hip ambiance, hip people and pretty good food. Actually the couple next to us at the bar were quite friendly. Lighting was a little dim - it was hard to read menu or see food. Appetizers like this hockey puck sized eggplant parmigiania and this interesting mozzarella burrata were very tasty but surprisingly meager for the price. Pizza was fresh, very good dough but as is often the case, a bit undercooked; still the best value on t... read more
Not worth the wait – Two weeks to get a reservation at this place?? Food was average, poor service. It was relatively inexpensive, but that is all I can say about it. Beware of the Arugula mountain that comes when you ask for it on your pizza; I literally thought it was a joke when it arrived at the table
