“A16 in the Marina delivers a great family dinner with a crisp, perfectly baked pizza crust that avoids the overly charred pitfalls of other artisanal spots. For a party of four, sharing three pies was the sweet spot, with the mushroom and sausage options standing out as excellent, well-balanced highlights. The only misstep was the Romana, where an excessively salty anchovy profile completely overwhelmed the palate, making it one to skip. Beyond the food, the space is beautifully appointed with thoughtful decor and ample seating, all bathed in great natural light and backed by warm, attentive service. Parking in this part of town requires some serious patience, but the excellent quality and very reasonable price point make for a fantastic night out that warrants a return visit.”

I liked how creamy the Maccaronara was. Chicken and ribeye were kinda dry tho and not well seasoned. Wow: 0/1 Normal Italian restaurant Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW”

“Italian restaurant with a unique name. A16 offered indoor and outdoor seating. There’s a little courtyard behind with a few small tables. It was super busy on a Saturday night and I can tell it’s very popular. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was good. Wine list was interesting with Californian wines. Olives were fresh and nicely marinated in olive oil and a bit of lemon. They were very tasty and the slight touch of lemon brought out the flavours perfectly. Burrata with prosciutto was ok. Artichoke salad was great. Squid ink pasta with fresh crab meat was very good. Pasta was cooked al dente, chunks of crab meat and tossed with some olive oil, lemon zest. The taste was well balanced, light on the palate with the freshness of the crab coming through. The service was excellent and well paced. The appetiser plates were cleared before the pasta arrived. Each course was finished and cleared before the next course arrived. This attention to proper service is excellent! It was very noisy inside the dining area. Opt for outdoor seating or the courtyard for a more quiet dining experience.”

“Had a set menu for dinner where there were multiple courses. Main courses were great but appetizers were lacking a bit for the price point. Mains were extremely filling and desserts were delicious. Service was a bit spotty that day for an occasion set menu so was understandable. Would come back to try their other regular menu items.”
