A16

"This was the closest A16 pizzeria place I could find. I was at the Oakland airport and found this for an early breakfast. The mocha is delicious and hot. I got the focaccia breakfast sandwich with bacon. Amazing!!! I love arugula and the sauce and everything works so well together. This sandwich was the best last meal I could have asked for before making my way back to the east coast. This place is just past gate 6 on the left near the women’s restrooms (on right side). Quick service (7am). Highly recommend!!"

"Tasty food and drink. The pinzimonio was a fun way to start the meal; assorted veggies with two different types of pesto and ricotta. The pizzas were great too. The Vesuvio was nice and spicy, and the Bianca was refreshing. Both were incredibly flavorful. The rosemary Palermo was delicious and refreshing, and the Italian has that quintessential smokiness that comes with mezcal."

"Was excited for a first date night out in a while and not cooking as it was a long weekend; we were looking to enjoy a nice meal out together. Was slow and we were seated quickly. Shared some apps and each had an entree. Based on the experience didn’t consider desert. Not only was the food inconsistent; the service was sparse and feedback not meaningfully addressed. Shared a seasonal salad that was OK. Maybe 70 cents of ingredients for $17. I get it; and it felt quite uninspired. Also shared Arancini. Don’t order this often but was feeling indulgent. It had a very dry texture, was warm, but not hot, and was notably under-seasoned. The mayo plus spicy pepper was really basic. Pork chop looked nice but was over cooked by any modern standard. By a lot. Likely 165f plus for the core temp. Tough to cut and chew. Managed to eat less than half. The carrots were a bit over charred but probably the best food of the $150 night out. Pasta was undercooked and was more than al dente. Served up on a chipped plate. We sorta trudged through it all. Service was scant and dismissive. The first check in was very late in the meal after we stopped eating and with all of the feedback, there was just a shameful ‘sorry’ and a quick drop off of the check. A neighbor table had a complaint on the halibut being dry and the waiter tried to say it can be like that because it’s not a fatty fish. Then came back and said ‘chef said it was overcooked.” No one ever came back to follow up with us about the feedback mentioned above. I wondered if there was a chef in the kitchen… One meal is not a complete view of a restaurant; we’ve enjoyed several meals here before and hope to again at some point. Maybe not on a Sunday. Several things off in one night is a lot especially at high prices."

"Service was good and the and the ambience was nice. The food was underwhelming. The pasta was not good at all. We couldn’t finish more than a few bites. The pizza was ok but the crust needed to be cooked a little bit more. I did enjoy the espresso."
