    Fabulous food and service. Only downside is that sometimes the noise level is too energetic.

    We had a great New Year’s Eve experience. The decor was fun and festive and also pretty! Food was outstanding. We were especially grateful for the sommelier’s expert advice on the perfect Italian red for our meal.

    Still a winner after all these years. Solid service, food, and ambiance. Pizzas a gid value, other portions a little small for the price. Nice stemware for wine.

    While visiting the city, we had our first dinner @A16. The ribs and pizza were incredible. Also good wine list and recommendation.

    Our pizza was undercooked and was raw dough. The pasta was unbelievably bland. Was really looking forward to this place off the reviews but was honestly extremely disappointing.
