Steady force. For years. Love that they stick to limited but great menu. Staff very friendly.

Wow, what a wonderful experience! I made the reservation back in November for a January birthday dinner. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was packed and the wait for those without reservations was very long (making it clear right away the restaurant's popularity). We were brought right in without having to wait for our table to be ready - bonus! Our server was friendly and knowledgable. But most importantly, the food was outstanding! We had the gnocchi and the squid ink pasta with crab, and both were exquisite! Even the simple arugula salad was fantastic. Our server helped us with our wine selection, and we were happy with the pairing. Overall a wonderful evening. We will definitely be coming back to A16!

A16 is always a very special place to dine- for both everyday and special occasion. They currently have whole Dungeness crab on the menu which makes the food selection even better.

I only live part of the time in San Francisco. Still, the welcome that I feel by the entire team, is something I don't see in Amsterdam. Great team, great service and great wine. Pizzas: even in Italy I've never had better. Seriously.

Had a great experience at A16. The food was excellent. We ordered the Arrabbiata pizza without meat since we're vegetarians, and it was full of flavor with the right amount of spice. The Artigiana burrata was outstanding — incredibly fresh, creamy, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. For dessert, we had the Budino Tart and Cannolo, and both were superb. Rich, well-balanced, and the perfect ending to a great meal.

My boyfriend and I came to the city to enjoy Christmas Eve and were super excited about attending A16 celebration of 7 fishes. We had planned for this to be special and worth the price. I ordered the wine pairing and was equally excited to see how your Chef and Somm put the pairings together as I am a Sommelier myself. Sadly this evening was full of disappointments. The food was all super bland, the calamari and pasta dish was rubbery and inedible and the salmon was beyond bad. My piece was dried out and way over cooked where the other piece was grey and a lot of it was from the lateral line. Seriously I have never seen a lateral line not cut off in a high end restaurant. The dessert was horrible. It was full of pectin and unimpressive. We didn’t eat it at all. The wine was just as bad. The 3 oz pours were nothing more than 2 oz and when I asked for a glass of the white since there was not enough to try with the ramekins of salad I was told it was $49 a glass. ( for white Italian wine)that is completely unheard of. Our waitress never checked on us and I had to ask 2 other people to get her. The wine after the second course was brought after the course as finished and the next course brought out so I never really tasted what the pairing was supposed to be. Every time the food and wine was brought out it was never explained or talked about. How did you ever get a Michelin star with this quality of food and wait staff. I can’t believe that after the meal was over and I had nothing really to eat that the total was over $500 with tip. What a waste and disappointment. We can’t get the moments back or money but so bummed that I chose to spend my Holiday with A16.
Super disappointed, Kristi Snyder and Chris Junge

I want to be clear this review is based on the Christmas Eve set menu and not based on their normal menu.
This was a 4-5 course meal and my favorites were the tuna crudo and the roasted salmon, the king salmon was cooked very well, seasoned beautifully, however, everything surrounding the salmon was below average, more specifically, under seasoned, you can tell the beans and the chickpeas were under seasoned in hopes the San marzano tomatoes would mask it. That was the theme of the evening is the majority of things that came out were under seasoned. We ordered a pizza for the kids, unfortunately the dough for that was underbaked. We also opted for the wine pairing, they forgot to bring one the reds to us.

We were really disappointed with the quality of food (both pizza and the steak was not good) But the service and atmosphere there were really good. So, overall, we had a positive experience
The pizza and wine were amazing, but the service was not good. Took almost 20 minutes to get our wine and water. The Salumi (cheese plate) was very odd - it was like a pickled styled / latin flavored cheese plate and couldn’t finish it.

The hostess was a little short, and brash but Aiden and the rest of the staff were delightful and very attentive. The food exceeded expectations and wine selection was excellent. Food was out really fast but did not taste like it was rushed. Would absolutely recommend and go back again soon.

Excellent && authentic italian cuisine with special Italian wines — pastas are divine ! (Though it is hard to resist the pizza)
