   This is the second time that the restaurant has smelled like the bathroom.

   I ordered meatballs, the gnocchi, and a spicy soprasetta pizza to go. The meatballs were average in taste, but cooked well. The gnocchi started off amazing but the excessive Parmesan eventually ruined the dish and overall taste for me. The pizza was the best by far.

   We very much enjoyed our lunch at A16. The food was solid (we especially enjoyed the kale salad), and the service was attentive but not intrusive. The music was at the right volume, and it had a nice festive atmosphere for the holidays. Thank you for a lovely holiday lunch.

   Excellent and authentic. No liquor license so only a great wine list, and beer.

   Waiter was a complete jerk. Claimed to be a Sommelier, more apparently was a used car salesman. Knew nothing about the food. Spent the entire time trying to up-sale every selection we inquired about. Lied about share proportions, etc. Assumed we knew nothing about truffles. Fyi Mr. Salesman.. I travel to Italy EVERY year. I truffle hunt. I grow olives and I know wine! Keep your assumptions under wraps. Very poor business practice. Manager was great. I was too annoyed to want to spend another second in the restaurant, but the Manager did try to fix the situation. Great restaurant, been there numerous times and will return.

   Our hostess assured us it would be quieter in the rear room but it turned out with a party of 4 very loud women it was very noisy to the point we left immediately after dinner not staying for coffee or dessert. My husband ordered the pork chop which had a large bone, mainly fat and was rather dry. It did come with an arugula salad. He chose the side salad as an extra without realizing he would be getting two salads. The waitress could have certainly reminded him that it already came with a side of arugula salad. The 2 side salads were disappointing--mostly radicchio, friese, and romaine with very little dressing and only a couple slivers of cheese. As we departed, it was almost quieter in the main dining room than the "quieter" one in the back! All in all, a very disappointing dining experience.

    As soon as we walked in, they said that they were busy and have a big party ahead and that we only Have less than 2 hours to eat. Although, within one hour and not even done with food, the waiter brings out a check. I looked at him and said, “wow no dessert?” He said oh I think they told You that we need this table because of a little private party coming. After 3 pasta dishes and 2 cocktails and 280 dollars later, I voiced me concern and talked to a manager. She apologized and said the waiter was mistaken and that they could move us to another seat inside. I said no, I’d like to just finish my dish. Expecting customers to dine in one hour and leave was just ridiculous. Don’t take customers then! They tried to remedy the situation but I’m left disappointed. There are many many other options out there! Don’t go here if you don’t want to be rushed out!
