A16 is a local favorite, celebrated for its excellent food and warm service. The menu features a limited selection of pasta dishes, including gnocchi with funghi, and excellent pizzas cooked in a true Neapolitan oven. Recommended highlights include the Montanara pizza, which is briefly fried before baking, and delicious appetizers like burrata, calamari with fried beans, and meatballs. While the food quality is high, some dishes can be oily or overly cheesy. Customers have noted that the restaurant has a great selection of Sicilian wines, making it a perfect spot for celebrations.
Despite some minor issues, such as a lack of kid-friendly options and occasional service quirks, A16 has become a go-to spot for many, thanks to its lively atmosphere and outdoor seating options. The restaurant's service is often described as super and excellent, with staff being attentive and accommodating, making dining here a pleasant experience. Customers appreciate the warm ambiance, refreshing drinks, and outstanding desserts, along with the excellent wine list that allows guests to explore new regions of Italy, making it a great spot for special occasions and out-of-town guests.
