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...Read More

Not too salty/overwhelming. 🍕 Funghi 6/10 Mid - the mushrooms just made the pizza too chewy along with the dough 🍕 Arrabbiata 100/10!!! Also my fav - its like a spicy pepperoni pizza. Delicious!!!

Found this place using the Michelin guide. It was a very good Neapolitan pizza joint with a cool atmosphere. Nothing I had was particularly mind blowing but definitely good quality food for the price. The ambiance made for a nice evening out. Only complaint is that in...Read More

Outstanding pizza in a cool space. Sat at the chef’s bar so had a great view of chef working magic with the wood fired oven.

A16 is one of the best neighborhood restaurants in the Marina. Shelley Lindgren and her staff are true pros. The food is consistently amazing. Try a Bianca pizza with a glass of Etna Rosso..

Pretty good overall, authentic feel with a twist and dishes that go beyond your average Italian. We had the asparagus pizza and bean soup and were happy with both. 4.5 rounded up to 5.

Nice place for Neapolitan style pizza. First place I have seen where you actually cut your pizza with scissors. As they say, one pizza is enough for a hungry Italian, but enough to share for two. We tried the margherita pizza and added …
