Named after the main highway in the Campania region of Italy, the Marina District's critically praised A16 restaurant features upscale Neapolitan cuisine and wood-fired pizzas in a casual, well-designed environment. Cork walls and cozy bay windows attract well-dressed patrons to the bar area – a boisterous place to see and be seen with a date – while larger dining parties tend to migrate to the back, near the open kitchen. Co-owner and wine steward Shelley Lindgren's wine list features some obscure choices, and she and her staff are able to give knowledgeable advice to both amateur and experienced wine enthusiasts. The seasonal menu features simple pizzas such as the Funghi with mushrooms, garlic and Grana Padano cheese, the Margherita with tomato, basil and mozzarella, and the Salsiccia with onions and fennel sausage. Other entrées include pastas such as scialatielli with calamari and penne rigati with eggplant, plus meats such as roasted rabbit loin with salsa verde and grilled swordfish with black olives. For dessert, the house-made date-almond cake is a winner. Reservations suggested. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch Wed–Fri, dinner nightly. One of the San Francisco Chronicle's Top 100 Restaurants in 2009. One of GQ magazine's Top 15 Pizzas in the U.S.
