   Pizzas were excellent, but everything else was bad (lamb shank was tough and cold; carrots were massively under; chocolate budino was ludicrously dry) to mediocre (ribeye was small and over).

   we love A16, but on this particular Friday they were a bit off their game ... hopefully better next time.

   Our family came to A16 Rockridge to celebrate a recent birthday, and all of us being together. The menu choices were our reason for choosing A16. Everything went so smoothly; seated right away, attentive staff, food came at appropriate times. The quality of the food was exceptional, the drinks were perfect. Little extras were added at our request (extra anchovies). I wouldn't hesitate to return to try other dishes. Especially happy with the pasta , gnochi and the trout. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

   Great meal today and we are long time customers. Gnocchi with duck was probably the best dish I have ever had at A16. Very good service too.

   It had potential, but everything was super over-salted.

   A16 is one of our new favorites in Oakland! With family in town we wanted to find a fun spot for some good Italian and this did not disappoint. First of all huge thank you for accommodating our 7 person party plus a baby in a car seat. The space is beautiful and intimate so fitting a larger group with a car seat was a big ask but I appreciate all of the staff that made it possible for us. We enjoyed a great bottle of red wine and cocktails. The menu was perfect for sharing - salads, pizzas and a whole trout dish. Service was attentive and welcoming. We were very well taken care of from the moment we walked in the door. Can't wait to come back to A16 for a date night and maybe even sit outside! Their parklet looks very inviting, well lit and heated. Thanks again A16!

    Service was spotty. We had a 730 reservation and we didn’t have water until 815. The fried pizza was raw and burned. The service was awful. My family hasn’t been out in months. This was a disappointment but we will keep coming back.

    Went on a Sunday night for a Sicilian wine pairing. There were way too many customers and not enough servers, so our food and wine service was very slow and spotty. Food was not as good as usual. Very noisy young crowd of eight with us in the back room detracted from our enjoyment.

    Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The ravioli, although the pasta was made in the house, was almost hard: it was more than al dente! And the pasta in the lasagna was very thick and therefore very dry. Would have liked more sauce, as well.

    This place never disappoints with a kitchen that’s still turning out a you-can’t-go-wrong menu that makes great use of their wood-fired oven. And the selection of Italian wines is outstanding. It’s just perfect.

    The pizza, salad and cocktail were outstanding. However, the rib eye was missing the garlic and rosemary. And the sauce slid right off of the rigatoncini and pooled at the bottom of the bowl. I’d happily go back but just for the pizza.

    The host on Sunday evening was pretty rude/had a huge attitude. This seems a big misstep for the face of the restaurant. I'm sure he was busy, but, in my view the host should be at least more welcoming. The outdoor service was fine, pleasant. Our server seemed like she was a bit overbooked with tables. the food was also fine, but i won't be rushing back. plenty of options around.

    The entrees arrived haphazardly. The dessert took 25 minutes with zero updates. I notified the host and they did nothing. I rejected the dessert and we left. I have been to the restaurant 25 times. Never ever before. Prior restaurant was Garibaldis , same location. Spent thousands of dollars. So disappointed. Unacceptable to wait between courses almost 30 minutes

    We were sat immediately for our 7:15 reservation. Our table was right in front of the door on a relatively cold January evening so that blast that hit us each time patrons came and went wasn’t pleasant but we endured because there weren’t many other options (crowded Friday night) and we’d heard the food was legit. Folks weren’t lying! The fresh burrata cheese on crustini was worth the price - delicate melt in your mouth texture to start us off. Our waiter helped us pair a nice Italian red with the appetizers - shared arugula salad and fresh beet salad. Then a nice dry white wine with the fungi pizza also split between the two of us. We finished off the meal with a sweet dessert like a caramel ice cream bar, covered in chocolate, recommended by our waiter, plus a cappuccino. It was indulgent, delicious, and thank goodness for the gift card that a former client had given us for half the price, otherwise we could never have afforded it! But if you can swing the dollars, you should definitely roll through…

    I'll come back for the pizza every time ! But the price point for the entrees and wine I felt was high for the value; and the tables are so close I struggled to keep up with conversation at my table. Overall, a good place to dine.

    We will absolutely be back and bring friends! The brussels sprouts were amazing, as were the pizzas and the burrata appetizer. Really flavorful and presented beautifully. The red wine and beer recommended by our server were really great, too. The service was easy and attentive. The restaurant space is capacious and the sound level surprisingly low. It was a very comforting place, and the food and wine were terrific. We will be regulars at A16!

    My kiddo and I came in on a whim and had a pizza here once, and promised each other we would come back. This time we not only had pizza, which was excellent again, but decided on the halibut as well which was also delicious! The service was super friendly too. All in all a great experience.

    The worst fine dining experience I’ve ever had (55 years all over the world). Signed up for fixed price Festa of 7 Fishes Xmas Eve and it was chaos. Food served before wine opened and poured, a disappearing waitperson, three of us served the same amount of food as the couple doing same Festa as us, small bowls and though we started at 7 they were so slow we couldn’t leave until after 10. The octopus salad became a squid salad, the clams in a dish were two mussels, both the halibut and dessert cake slice were two bites, and of the 7 courses only two were good, a chestnut soup and a bit of bacala. No manager around after 10, the tip for three was an automatic 20% so the meal without wine was $450+. One oyster, two mussels, a few bites of fish, 5 roe eggs, et al. Never going back to SPQR or either A16. Get your act together!!
