Pizza is excellent, outstanding selection of wine. We got the lamb pappardelle and it was very sub par. Hard noodles, dry meat and no flavor. Luckily the pizza was Amazing. Fantastic flavor, pillow soft crust, and just the right amount of heat. The service was awful, our waiter did not visit our table one time after the entree was dropped off. Even after we sent the pasta back she did not come by. I was blown away by being completely ignored. Delicious pizza, quality wine, and horrible service

Great place and a truly excellent experience.

We celebrated my husbands birthday at A-16. There were 3 of us dining. We received the bottle of wine 25 minutes after we placed our order. Since it had taken so long to receive we placed our entire order at once. The waiter did not provide any feedback or give us any direction. We were eating family style and under ordered. Between the salad and pasta we requested a single glass of wine. It did not come until after the pizza and pasta. We tried to cancel it but they brought it anyway. They need a broader price point for their wine menu. Go to Roma Antica for Italian it is much better.

I sat in the parklet. Service was very slow and hard to get a waiter to come by. My napkin was dirty, so I asked for another and was given another dirty napkin. The parklet is sloped, and so was our table, so we couldnt put our wine down without it sliding off. Our server gave us a rec. on wine and it was not very good. Food: skip the insalata de mare. arugula salad was decent, but could use a punchier dressing. Peppardelle was weak/undercooked Pizza was the highlight by far - good pizza, great chewy dough. Really the only redeeming part of the meal. Hopefully the inside dining experience is better, but I would not come back here to sit in the parklet.

Our server literally spent about 1 minute total for the entire time we were there, and I do realize that it was busy and they were understaffed. The food (papardelle with lamb) was tasteless and uninteresting. This restaurant has really gone downhill, sadly.

Most expensive pizza of my life and was ok. Only sell beer and wine, which for me is ok but for my wife who doesn’t really like wine it was a downer.

Sadly the food at A16 is not as good as it once was. Also our main courses arrived over a 10 minute window. The atmosphere is great, staff are friendly. I am fond of A16 and hoping it rediscovers its past form.

Never written a bad review before……they were completely disorganized and could not execute any request in a timely manner. It took 15 minutes to be seated despite no line and prior reservations. It took 30 minutes before we could actually order our food after being seated. Then another 40 minutes until the food arrived (despite being told the food will come out immediately). Every request was made three times. The food tasted great otherwise it was a painfully long experience. Sadly the other tables nearby appeared to suffer the same fate.

The pizzas are very soggy and I think it’s because they drizzle so much oil on top of their pizza. Their Arugula salad with stone fruit is very yummy. The restaurant has no ambiance …, loved the wine choices.

The pizza and tomato salad were to die for. The ravioli was excellent but minimal.
