Pizza Friday: A16

By Between Meals   Apr 18, 2008

When A16 opened four years ago, all anyone could talk about was the pizza, charred in the wood-burning oven. Chef Christophe Hille was one of the few chefs to be certified as a pizzaiolo by the ... FULL REVIEW

Dinner at A16, San Francisco, CA

By See Us Eat   Jun 15, 2007

We've been wanting to go to A16 (named after and Italian highway) for a long time. Unfortunately, we always think to go there at about 7 on a Friday night and, of course, they never have any tables available at such late notice. This time we thought about it on a Wednesday, and when we called, all they had for Friday was 5:30 or 10:30. We decided to take the 5:30, even though that's about 3 hours before we usually eat dinner, since we had a party to attend later that night. When we walked in we were pleasantly surprised to find the restaurants decor to be soft and muted, in tans and browns, but hardly rustic. It was very un-Marina-y,... FULL REVIEW

A16

By The Amateur Gourmet   Apr 18, 2007

This review will be easy. I loved A16. When Fatemeh suggested it for dinner, I didn't know what to think. I hadn't heard of it. It sounded like a steak sauce. Was it really worth giving up one of my... FULL REVIEW

A16

By Daily Feed   Feb 07, 2007

The San Francisco Restaurant community understands that a rising tide lifts all ships. When the Bar Crudo crew needed a little support, A16 contributed a generous gift certificate for the silent auction. Our winning bid provided us with the perfect excuse to motor over to get some Italian style eats. FULL REVIEW

Cinderella in the City

I put on my polka-dot green filmy skirt, nice sandals, checked the hair and makeup, and headed out the door, excited about the evening ahead. FULL REVIEW

Cinco-ing Meatballs Into My-o Stomach

By Daily Feed   May 05, 2006

My order of meatballs ($11.00) ... in a tomato sauce were perfectly seasoned with just a hint of hot pepper. These porky pool balls went right into the corner pockets of my belly without scratching. I sopped up all the wine enriched, olive oil finished, tomato sauce with a couple thick slices of Levain bread. No regrets about my order, but on my way out I saw a pizza on the counter and was tempted to grab it and run, but if I were going to risk incarceration I would probably have to procure a cloud of their burrata as a treat for Chubby.

A16

By Fork & Bottle   Apr 14, 2006

This was our first visit to A16. We shared all the dishes that we ordered family-style with our dining companions – which makes eating more fun – and seems to be encouraged at this restaurant. There were no bad choices. We had high expectations for what seems a hot ticket restaurant and we left with the overall feeling of wanting to return soon. I really didn’t expect to like the food – and I did – a lot. FULL REVIEW

Birthday dinner at A16

By Life Begins at Thirty   Sep 28, 2005

My birthday and my mom's birthday are on the same day so there's always some sort of celebration or other. More often than not, I end up going to Southern California. This year, I lured family and friends to San Francisco with the promise of an amazing birthday dinner and a small amount of pleading. It worked, and it was fabulous. FULL REVIEW

By Pengrin Eats   Sep 27, 2005

Ok, so we got there @ 8PM, and we had to wait for a table. The hostess was really nice and gave us each a glass of champagne while we were waiting for our table. 20 minutes later, we sat down. Service was decent. FULL REVIEW

A16 - Marina

By VinDivine   Sep 25, 2005

This southern Italian restaurant ain't no Hawaiian Pizza' joint...do not ask for Pineapple on top! (as a mother-in-law of one of our friends recently did. Ouch). This place is groovy and serves up some of the only authentic thin-crust pizzas around. Umm mmm. FULL REVIEW

A16

By Hungry Hedonist   May 22, 2005

It’s been a fun couple of days. The weather has been perfect since I’ve been home..around 75 degrees, sunny and breezy, with no humidity whatsoever. My flight wasn’t bad, besides the woman beside me whose Danielle Steele paperback kept reflecting the light in my eyes. FULL REVIEW

A16

By Arthur Hungry   Apr 09, 2005

At long last, here is my last post from San Francisco. The fact that this meal was a sort of pre-birthday dinner with some family friends just shows how far behind I am... Anyway, we went to the much-loved A16 on Chestnut, which specializes in the Southern Italian fare of Naples. Thanks to my friend John for snapping a photo of the sign for me - I forgot to do it myself when I was there (as an aside, he's got some great photos). A16 has gotten some pretty good pub around the city, and for good reason. They really emphasize the fact that they do food from Naples, which results in a lot of great meats and some well-executed pizza. The place is always pretty packed. We got a pretty large table in the back room, which would have been relatively quiet compared to the bustling main dining room were it not for a table of very loud mid-high 20s women seated right next to us. The main room has a very active and booming atmosphere - must be from all the hype the restaurant is receiving. FULL REVIEW

A16 is good or I Dream of Broccoli

It took two weeks of waiting and 20 minutes of looking for parking, but we finally arrived at a much-anticipated dinner at A16. And it was good. Even if it is in the Marina. FULL REVIEW

Highway to Heaven

By Confessions of a Restaurant Whore   Nov 21, 2004

If you want to make Neapolitan pizza, you have to go through a whole certification process in Naples. So when we heard that a new restaurant was opening that had a chef who was certified, we couldn't wait to try it. FULL REVIEW
