Dining during COVID can be a drag, but the Sunday afternoon meal at A16 was a total pleasure from start to finish.

So yummy and special. Lots of options for gluten and dairy free too.

Great outdoor booth seating set up. Great for covid dating.

Grrrrrrrreat!!

Early dinner alfresco; tomato salad and pizza Bianca with pancetta . Perfect;-)

always great food and service, out waiter was informed, friendly and considerate

my wife and I are 74, and understand the problems we as a society are experiencing, that said, I wish the front of the house staff was a tad nicer when we checked in, asked about rest room facilities, etc.

we live in Atherton and would gladly be lunch/dinner regulars before we move to Carmel
sometime this year....

As always the amazing team at A16 delivered a wonderful experience. Even in COVID land my wife and I had a wonderful evening. The tomato salad, trout, and pizza were all perfect. The spritzers to start followed by an amazing Sicilian red made the meal. If only they still had the incredible chocolate budino desert to top the evening off. But you can’t have everything! Felt great to be back at A16. Thank you for a lovely time.

I had different expectations about this restaurant, but it’s ok, nothing special. The food was ok, I really liked only one dish. The service was ok but we waited more than 30 min for a pizza and after that they gave us the bill. So rushed. Also, they gave us a bad table, next to the entrance door, was awful.

As always - Great food - Great wine - Great service - Great people.

Delicious pizzas and superb service! They’ve created a lovely ambiance with their outdoor dining area.

Incredibly disappointing. Half of the experience of dining out is the service you receive, and although the food that we did order was good, we ended up asking for the check before we got to our entrees. For a party of 2, we spent over 400$ on wine and appetizers and left feeling like we were taken advantage of and completely dissatisfied. Management’s lack of attention and the Sommelier’s response of “I’m just the Somm” is inexcusable.....

Wonderful dining experience as usual!!! Thank you

Delightful dining early evening alfresco

Great place with good food and awesome terrace. Covid precautions are taken seriously but the ambience doesn’t suffer.

1 of 4 heat lamps worked, so 1 table was warm and the other 3 were freezing. It was way too cold for us.

However, the food / service both great.

Amazing! tried everything to accommodate due to pandemic. So happy they are back !

One of my favorite restaurants! The margherita pizza is my favorite in the city.

Great food and super service. Love the new outdoor dining space.

They've done a great job with their setup al fresco dining in a walled off area they set up on the street to overcome Covid.
Great salad, piazza could have gone a bit longer to get solid tan (did have a couple blisters on the crust and patches on the base.
Staff great

The food was amazing and very unique and staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

Reliably fantastic. Great wine selection. This is the place that started the neapolitan pizza renaissance in SF, and still great on all fronts - pizza, pasta, secondi, dessert.

Lunch is light and appropriate... Good salads and pasta, besides pizza. Good wines , especially Italian ones.

Great for pizza, wine and ambiance. We sat in the back 'garden' to get away from the crowd -- for obvious reasons. It's best to sit in the main room or at the bar for livelier ambiance.

I’m a regular customer at A16, I live in the neighborhood and has been one of my favorite places to go on the weekends. On each occasion the service has not been the best but I kept giving another try because of their food and wine selection. Unfortunately this last weekend the service got even worse than before. Not only the server ignored my table (at the patio) but was very rude. One rude comment that the server said to me when I asked for olive oil, YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP. Nobody has ever been so rude in a restaurant like this, if he didn’t hear me there are a thousand ways to ask me to repeat my question. This was the last time I go there with friends and I will not recommend it to anybody. There are other options around the neighborhood

The service was outstanding but I urge A16 to develop a more comprehensive dinner menu. If the diner seeks more than pizza or a salad, there is little to choose from.

Used to love this place. However service recently has been rather uneven. Alas this last visit was the final straw. After being seated no one, except the water server came to the table for 10 minutes. The server finally passed by & said he would be back quickly to take our order. He didn't return. We finally got the eye of the check in lady who came over & took our order. A pizza, a salad & as we are not very familiar with the Italian region covered by the wine list & the list is extensive, we asked for recommendations for a light, fruity bottle of wine & gave a very reasonable price point. We then sat for 25 minutes more & no one came near the table, except the check in lady who came to apologize & tell us the wine would be with us shortly. It didn't appear. We walked out. We went to another great local restaurant, we were seated & had both food & drink within 15 minutes. So disappointed in A16.

Do not sit in the front part of the restaurant, especially in the tight space between the front bar and back area. Extremely loud because the ceiling is low and the walls and floors are all hard material. Tables are too small. Overall food was awesome but the noise level was so laud we couldn't hear each other and counted hear the waiter. It is also very dark so we needed our cell phone flashlights to read the menu and very long wine list.

We were out celebrating a birthday. We chose A16 for the ambiance, service, and delicious food we've known through the years. Sadly, this was not the experience we had.

It started well with a order of wine and drinks for the table, however when the wine got there it seemed we were served a full glass in one and a half class in another. We brushed this off as a miss step but continued on with ordering our meal. This was the last time we interacted with our waiter until the end of the night.

When the appetizers arrived the Burrata was tough and more resembled a child's string cheese than a soft buttery light flavor. Our pork chop was over done to the point we had to ask for a new knife to cut into it. My ragu was mealy and the zucca pizza seemed to lack flavor. The ray of light was the chicken which we decided to take the remainder home as leftovers. With a disappointed meal, we decided to continue to drink. This too became an issue where we had to order and reorder from three different people in hopes of getting beer and glass of wine. When the drinks did finally arrive, it was a different Hazy IPA than the one I had ordered. Needless to say we skipped dessert.

When our waiter reappeared she quickly placed the check on the table and walked away. As we were finishing our drinks, she came by again and picked up the check before we even had chance to place our card inside. Our left over chicken was never brought to our table and we ended up leaving without it we decided to go back and even the hostess was shock to hear it wasn't brought to our table before we left.

As you can see it wasn't the birthday celebration we were all hoping for. We have always loved A16.

The food and drinks were amazing. The burrata and pizza's were some of the best. The restaurant was packed, so the service was slightly slower but the waiter was very nice and helpful.

Server Cassandra gave excellent food reccs, i.e grilled calamari app and the totally unique pistacchio ricotta dessert. Always excellent wines reccs by Steven. Thank you!

Always reliable

The food was excellent. The service quite good. Unfortunately, conversation in the place was at high volume and my guest and I had difficulty hearing each other.

Delicious Italian small plates (except the polenta), good energy. Extensive wine list though didn’t find serving staff particularly engaging in discussing the wines or supporting selection, which I think led to a more mediocre experience.

Good yet unusual Italian wine list. Good standard Italian fare. A bit expensive for what it was. But still good.

A neighborhood favorite. One of my "go-to" spots given the consistency, ambience, friendliness and the ever evolving aspect of specials in combination with old favorites. Staff is very attentive and makes the whole experience worthwhile. Loved revisiting the history of the restaurant and the name. Loved the pork meatballs special along with the chicken and salmon entrees. Didn't even sample the pasta or pizza on this visit - which are normal "go-to" choices.

Overpriced, bland Italian food. $19 for three tiny meatballs. No bread on the table.

As usual, the pizza bianco was delicious! We shared a lamb sausage entree, which was good, not great. We also had a cavalo Nero side, which is kale in a tomato and onion sauce. That was really good, but didn’t really go with the radicchio that came with the sausage. Then we had the chocolate budino, very disappointing! It didn’t taste very chocolaty to me, and had the taste of Crisco. The service was excellent, but the dining room was too chilly because the cold air was coming in from the open door to the back patio.

the pizza was a bit over cooked. For people who have kids, A16 is really the last place you should visit, they are not friendly to kids at all and other customers keep staring at us when baby make any kind of noise. Waiter and waitress are acting obvious that they want us out of there asap.

The waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine list and that was much appreciated!

Everytime I visit A16 I'm always happy with the food and service. It's a solid San Francisco favorite.
