A16

Went to A16 for lunch today and it was top tier. Our waiter was super cool and helpful. We ordered the Heirloom tomato caprese salad and the mushroom pizza. Completely blown away by the pizza! The combo of the cheese, mushrooms, crust and olive oil really elevated the experience. Definitely understand why they got a Michelin star for the pizza alone. I will for sure head back soon.

This is a cute, intimate location, I would call it borderline trendy although it seems to be family owned and operated with an owner who has a great deal of knowledge in the Italian vineyard industry. The pasta is delicious and made in house, you can actually tell because I generally have gluten issues, and the truth of the matter. I didn't even feel bloated afterwards. Which I think isn't a testament to freshly made pasta. The portions are slightly larger than you would expect. And the pairings were perfect even with my mocktail. They don't have an overly large menu which makes it wonderful to choose without choice anxiety coming into play 😂 and although I did not try any desserts, the menu did look delectable. The price point is San Francisco status, typical to its area. Not overly expensive, considering. Overall a very charmed experience.

I may be biased as I work here but I've also been in the industry for 20 years and worked across the country. A16 is unique and amazing! There are 2 dishes on the menu I don't like. Easiest menu to sell haha! We are also known for our Southern Italian wines! Affordable and a great little taste of what Southern Italy has to offer!

Third visit and first time meeting the owner. What she doesn’t know about Southern Italian wine is probably not worth knowing. Very unassuming and warm lady - which matches the unpretentious restaurant. Sure, I’ve had some better Italian dishes, but it has the whole package here - great food, wine, service and atmosphere. Pizzas were a standout, as was the Berkshire pork.

After trying 55 places since May 2022, A16 is a top shelf Pizzeria. Easily one of the Best in the City from a legit real pizza perspective. After 55 places since May, A16 is in the upper range of Pizza that only 5-6 other places of said 55 can relate to. And pretty much the 4 of those 5-6 are the Gods of San Francisco Pizza. These truths proven by trying their Pizza and experiencing it on your tongue are self evident. And yeah, this is for the cheese not even the Margherita yet. Based off how well done the cheese is, I bet a lot of stuff here is good.
