    The second outpost of Marina favorite A16, this Oakland spot is serving up a similarly excellent menu, including authentic Neapolitan pizzas, plus an amazing Italian wine list. Read more

    Try the Solstizio cocktail at this spot. Made with persimmon-ginger syrup, lemon juice, and Jardesca, it's topped with Prosecco and garnished with a slice of candied persimmon. Read more

    Excellent pizza. Great apps and cocktails. The mains are very good too. The best reason to come here is the outstanding Italian wine list. Surrender to discovering something you've never had before.

    The best Neapolitan pizza in the East Bay and an amazingly broad selection of great Italian wines. Get anything by the producer Cantina Giardino if you like natural wine.

    If you came here on your anniversary, your partner would describe the meal as, “pizza that gets your gears grinding.” I would tell you, “Get the racchetta with pancetta.”

    It did not blow my mind, but it's good overall. Try the pizzas, they are good, and don't pass on desserts here, all are excellent.

    Perfect example of a pretentious restaurant that is more focused on the story than the actual taste of the food. Plus: great wine selection

    Delicious wood-fired pizza, amazing aperitivo hour from 5-6 with $7 wines and apps. Outstanding wine program.

    A cool college ave spot. If you love Italian wine, man do they have a list. Disappointed with both the pizza (undercooked dough) & pasta (a little too al dente).

    Other places much better on College Ave for dinner. An appetizer and cocktail seem a better option.
