It was.... ok. A bit overpriced for the quality. There are many other Italian restaurants you can eat at in the city for these prices that will blow you away. Cocktails were good.
One of my favorite spots in the city... The pizzas are wonderful!
Our first time back at A16 since last year was well worth it. Everything was as good (or better) than before, the food, the staff was wonderful. New varieties of pizza, a refreshed wine list, and wonderful appetizers. Life is getting back to normal.
The most delicious Italian food and wine I’ve had outside of Italy!! I love this restaurant!!
Nathaliia is an absolute gem. She was so wonderful, kind, professional and warm.
It was a cool SF evening but outdoor eating was freezing cold, which doesn't help any meal. The restaurant is clueless about gluten free requirements, with no menu listing what is safe or not and the staff not trained on precisely what is what. At the end of the day, there's a very limited choice, so it's a sparse offering.
Prices seem incredibly high for what A16 now offers - a good pizzeria shouldn't be over $60 per head.
Food was good. Service was not very good. Got our order wrong. Server did not write down order. Corrected him twice when he repeated the order incorrectly. Still got it wrong. Never offered drinks, never offered dessert, carafe never refilled. Manager also walked by our table multiple times while we had empty drink glasses on our table for over 30 minutes.
Another great meal and overall dining experience at A16!
Delicious food, courteous and friendly staff, great ambiance.
The service was very slow. Our server was very nice, but slow. Our order was slightly incorrect.
The tripe, pasta and pizza was all prepared perfectly. Wine selection pairs well with the food. Excellent service.
A16 is terrific. Dining out during COVID is still weird, but under the circumstances it was all excellent. The sardines were incredible and the pizzas were also excellent. We also were very pleased with our waiter and the service
The pepperoni pizza that we got is literally amazing. Wine was great too. The staff are cool and well informed on the items. The restaurant has a nice classy outdoor set up going on and even the bathrooms are super nice. A couple of the tables are less desirable than others but even those are honestly a lot better than many places with outdoor dining in sf. We would definitely come back.
My mom’s favorite place for dinner for when she’s visiting!
Eating on the sidewalk, even with street noise and skateboarders whizzing by, was a treat after the weeks of lockdown. The food did not disappoint. The zuppa, rich with beans and lentils, was welcome on a chilly day. The roasted romesco could have benefited from a bit more roasting, but the flavors were on point. But prepare for some sticker shock - nearly $100 for lunch for two, before tip, with no beverages other than one coffee. We'll go back, but will order more strategically next time.
Fun as always!
A16 continues to be a great restaurant. The food is incredible. We had a lovely lunch on a warm Sunday afternoon.
Incredible service from both our waiter and the sommelier!
Service and food were outstanding—still, after 17 years in business.
A16 never disappoints. Our meal was exquisite, our waiter offered excellent service, and we had a blast!
Was SO nice to be back out enjoying a restaurant and A16 was perfect! The prosciutto and burrata starter plate with the veggie sides, pizzas, salads, and wine were all delicious. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you A16!
Night out before shutdown, was an incredible energy in the air. Ambiance was so pretty, food was delicious. Heaters were on, bit of a chill, but overall so happy to have the luxury of eating out during a worldwide pandemic. Everyone around was wearing mask and being respectful to those eating.
Good place to meet up with friends
The truffle pizza is amazing. Meatballs are great.
I hadn't been to A16 for a long time and found the outdoor experience they've created to be delightful. The food is always creative and extremely tasty. Good wine selection and a knowledgeable wait staff. Loved it!
Awesome food and service , we’ll be back soon !
It was great
The food was incredible and our server was so lovely!! She brought us champagne at the end of the night since we were celebrating a birthday. They’re doing a great job with COVID - the outdoor set up is really nice and they’re taking all necessary precautions. Can’t wait to go back
The restaurant did a great job of outdoor accommodating, though we had the slimmest of the outdoor tables--half the width of the rest. We hope our couple friends aren't positive for the virus! The staff was great, especially our wine steward who took care to bring us a lovely alternative to what we ordered. Generally all the salads ordered were excellent--delicious.
But the pastas and pizzas weren't up to those Ive had at A16 in the past. The pizza was limp and structureless and the 2 walnut pesto pastas were bland.
I would go back because I have really good memories of past meals; this one unfortunately fell flat.
Come for the pizza (we had the mushroom this time, so light and flavorful!) but stay for the meatballs. OH! The meatballs are just heavenly. Everything here is divine but those are my faves. Ask Shelley to pick wines for you, we tried a subtly fruity pinot after a bright and celebratory delight of a bubbly. The perfect Sunday afternoon early family supper. YUM.
It was cold outdoor dining but the amazing service and food made the lunch amazing! We live A16! Thank you for staying open during this time and continuing to be outstanding!
Our heat lamp was broken so we were very cold. Otherwise the food was good.
The server forgot about us and left us waiting forever
Food was delicious, service was great. Ambiance nice in the outdoor seating.
Great service and inventive menu. There really should be a few more pastas to choose from that are less obscure. Very unusual ingredients in the pastas that sometimes fall flat. Pizzas are great and salads are delicious.
On election night, we were indoors in the back corner which was nice and quiet. But the service was poor with 3 different people involved over the course of the meal. Our main courses came out different times like one of them wasn't put in to the kitchen with the other two or something. Out of 6 total appetizers/mains/pizza/side dishes, only the burata appetizer and pizza were good.
Doing a great job during this crazy time! Thank you!
I love this place! The food is so fresh and delicious and the service is great. I’ve tried several of their pizzas and you really can’t go wrong. The meatballs are also amazing. All around great!
Great food! We were seating indoors and the ambiance was 'ok,' nothing special about it. Otherwise, no complaints and would definitely return to try more from the menu.
Staff is great, but facility, food and concept are VERY tired. If you go, sit outside. Inside is deadly.
