Food is quite good, though not going to blow your mind. This is not the cutting edge food I was sort of hoping for. Calimari was excellent, as were the sardines. Has a great neighbourhood vibe. If I lived in the area, or was staying near by, I would go, but not worth traveling across the city or waiting and... more

We enjoyed our dinner here very much. The roast chicken was yummy. This place is noisy and fun. Very busy, and fun to watch the kitchen. They don't have any decent desserts..so maybe plan to do that somewhere else. more

A16 is loud and the tables are real close to each other but the service and the food are great! We made reservations for a late dinner and our table was ready on time. The waitor was friendly, fun and helped us pick a nice red wine from Sicily. I always try to make some time to have dinner at... more

I heard so much good things about the place but it didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe it's because we didnt pick a pizza w/ cheese. I'll give it another try for brunch. more

Reminds me of the real deal back in Italy...can't get any more authentic than if you actually flew back to the motherland. more

I was pretty disappointed with the pizza at A16 - burnt, dry crust. Not at all like the pizza at Pizzeria da Michele in Naples, which it is apparently modeled after. Anyway, maybe my expectations were too high. more

We went for the pizza after hearing so much about. It was not good, the sauce was bland, crust was doughy, and their was barely any Mozzarella on it, a real disappointment. A 16 is nice, but they seated us in the hallway and we could barely hear each other talk. The waitress was nice enough, but we went for... more

They will ignore you. Service will suffer. Get ready to pour your own wine, no water refilling nor any refreshing of your bread. Beware. Because of my experience, I will never return to this restaurant. There are many wonderful restaurants in San Francisco. And I have gone to A16 for years now but my experience was so upsetting I will... more

I found this place through one of my favorite Italian pizza places in Henderson, NV (Settebello) that is also certified by the Vera Pizza Napoletana Association. The pizza here is unbelievable, just like a true Naples style with the puffy crust that is just delicious. The location is within walking distance of the Palace of Fine Arts. The restaurant has... more
