"Head to A16 for well-researched Southern Italian fare, like charred, blistery Neapolitan pizza and small plates imbued with the region’s distinct products and flavors. What makes their menu even more enjoyable are the carefully selected wine offerings chosen by owner/sommelier Shelley Lindgren. She’s the holy grail of an Italian wine professional, dedicated to highlighting wines made extremely rare native grapes such as Casavecchia from Campania and Southern classics like Aglianico, Fiano and Piedirosso. Excellent wine lists and regional specialties like tripe and ragu can be found at either A16 in San Francisco or Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood." - Coral Sisk
