Cozy Italian restaurant with great vibe, delicious food made with the freshest ingredients, amazing wine, and friendly staff. What's not to love? My favorites right now are fennel/citrus salad, and the salmon with string beans, tomatoes and capers. And you can never go wrong with the pizza!

Went with a large group on a Saturday night. We were sat near the kitchen/pizza oven and IT WAS HOT! everyone was overheating at dinner because of the combo of table location and packed restaurant. Also the noise level was high - everyone yelling to communicate but maybe to be expected on a weekend night

There was a birthday party group that took the noise level up quite a bit, great when they departed! Food was really nice, we tried a variety of items as it was a first trip.

A16 is no longer what it used to be! Sad but understandable when you open multiple locations, the quality tends to get scarce.

The food was not the best; there were not very good dishes. If you are looking for good Italian food, try something else.
