You guys! This place is so good! The first time I visited, I got the tuna sandwich. It was so, so, so good. I just went back yesterday and got another sandwich which had pesto and Italian meat and creamy cheese. Oh my gosh, it was so good. I love this place. Can't wait to go back. read more

Funghi Flatbread- great! Pesto sandwich - good but not great. The ingredients were on one half of the sandwich. read more

How about maximizing profit by selling prepackaged "some-what" meals in advance without needing to worry about silly expiration dates. No worries that bread and toasted bread will be soggy and the birth place to bacteria, yes, no worries, because tourist just might think this is heaven. If you want to do business in San Francisco, great, but not at the expense of others, including businesses that care and do the right thing. One taste of A16 kind-of-on-the-border- of fraud shouldn't be the impression that any tourist should take home and boast about. You can be better. So be better. read more

A16 - Ferry Building - Soggy bread crap, waste of money - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Heard great things about the restaurant and excited to try this stand at the Ferry Building. However, the pizza was dry and tasteless. Really disappointing. Could definitely use salt. read more

The "pizza" is not pizza. It's nothing more than thick, over-priced baked bread with a few toppings. They cut it by the square. If you are looking for pizza, this is not the place to go. read more

I got the prosciutto sandwich from A16 and it was a pretty great sandwich. It had the fresh flavors of a garden with its crunchy arugula, fragrant herbs and hearty olive oil. The burrata was cool and calming and provided good substance. And obviously the prosciutto was very good and added a nice salty flare. The bread was very high quality. My main qualm is the price. For a premade sandwich I would expect closer to $10 not $20. I honestly only went because it was the only place without a line and I'm not totally sure I'd be willing to pay it again, even though it is really good. read more

I expect more from a $17 A16 sandwich. All bread, dry and offensive. Go to Deli Board to see what a real sandwich looks like read more

A16 - Ferry Building - Italian sandwich - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

They don't offer the things their menu says they have. What's the point of having a menu if you're not going to serve what's on it? Very poor experience, and I hope that stall in ferry building turns over and becomes something better. read more

Love A16 and now that there's a location in the Ferry Building I can get it whenever I'm in the embarcadero!! Service was great and it's super convenient. Grabbed some pizzas with a coworker last week and then again with some friends visiting the area. Wonder if they're opening up more locations in this format throughout the bay. read more

I loved the A16 restaurant 10-15 years ago when I got up to the Marina, so was excited to see this related Italian market. Their display of pre-made, white-paper-wrapped sandwiches looked interesting, and after asking & agreeing to the price (nearly $20 with tax & tip), requested an Italian. The short, light package I received was concerning, but until I actually unwrapped it at home, I didn't quite realize the extent of the absurdity. Totally off bread-to-ingredients ratio. Extraordinarily dry. Won't be going back. read more

A16 - Ferry Building - Italian Sandwich - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Big sandwich portions and nice that it comes with side salad. Sandwich could definitely be split between 2 adults. Small seating area, self serve at your table. read more

I've only ever gotten their pastries, but they offer my favorite croissants out of anyone in the Ferry Building- a place nearly drowning in baked goods. I'm a croissant fiend and LOVE these! The Nutella croissant has to have at least half a jar of Nutella in it! Not sure which bakery makes them, but they're delicious. So much so, I considered not writing this review for fear they will sell out faster. The workers are also very nice. read more

Pizza served cold that had been made (hours?) before, swimming in olive oil. Definitely a disappointment and can't recommend.

I got a piece of plastic from the prep chefs glove in the crust of my dough. Was good up until then. read more

Too busy yammering to acknowledge order tickets. Mediocre panini wasn't worth 20 minute wait.

Stop by here to grab a sandwich & absolutely loved it! We got a Prosciutto sandwich, made fresh and it was one of the best sandwiches we've had. Nice bread, good amount & good quality goodies in it. read more

A16 - Ferry Building - Prosciutto Sandwich - sooo good - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Got two different types of pizza so can only vouch for those items on the menu. Was good and didn't take too long to prepare (we ordered to go) read more

Absolutely the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Incredible quality meat and shaved pepperoncini. I also purchased a pasta salad with small tapioca-shaped pasta, cherry tomatoes, shaved raw zucchini and basil pesto - delicious. Service was great as well. read more

Terrible sandwiches. Absolutely no care or attention put into these. So not worth the money. Our order got mixed up too.

The pizza slices were think chunks of bread with very little toppings. The bread was over 1" thick and was dry and a bit hard. It did not look like the pizza on display. What a waste of $11. read more

Such good quality food and great service. It is pricy but I'd say it's worth it because it tastes authentic and fresh. I love every sandwich I've tried, always had great flavor and the bread is amazinggg read more

The service here is HORRIBLE!!!! Plus the prices don't justify the poor quality of the ingredients. Save yourself a trip and go for an empanada right across read more

The WORST tuna SANDWICH I have ever had! First off, the SANDWICH COSTS almost $18 (EIGHTEEN DOLLARS). That's ONLY for the SANDWICH, no chips or drink. They leave the price off on the display, only to surprise people with the most expensive price for a sandwich. It had focaccia bread which was not soft or fresh, but stale. Very little fish, mostly bread, maybe 1 cucumber, thick cuts of celery, but the worst part of the sandwich, other than the ridiculous price, is the three LONG FISH BONES I almost swallowed. I've never had a fish sandwich with bones, worst yet, very long bones. THE WORST EVER!!! read more

I ordered the lasagna and they said my order would take longer than the pizza orders. I decided it must be frozen, but I thought since it was A16, it would be good. I waited a LONG time and when they finally gave it to me, I took it outside to sit and eat on a bench by the water. I took one bite and it was lukewarm, so I went back and returned it. They said they couldn't take it off my card, so they gave me cash and only reimbursed me for the food and not all the tax or the tip. I then went to Reem's and had a delicious and hot stuffed flatbread, and they didn't even ask for a tip on the payment screen. read more

Delicious food but make sure you check your order before you leave...I was the only customer but they somehow made me the completely wrong sandwich and I didn't know it until I was back at work :( read more

If you want a 1 star A16 experience this is it, sadly. Food didn't look fresh. I ordered a hot meatball sandwich and the meatballs were bad, almost powdery and it was toasted but cold inside. They said they couldn't heat the inside of the sandwiches so I asked for warm marinara for the side and they said they could only give me cold marinara sauce. Employees were nice but major let down having A16 expectations. read more

I stopped by with my kids. We ordered three sandwiches. The wait was long, but not obnoxiously so. I asked if my order was still coming, and was asked my order number. The look on the cashier's face, and his sprint out of the shop, made it clear that he'd just given our food away. I can't say I was surprised, since he seemed to be paying more attention to his phone while I was standing there. I'm very patient, and not a jerk, so it pains me to say how disappointed I was that five minutes later I was handed a bag with the wrong food, after two attempts to get it to me. No apology from the cashier. The cook did apologize, at least. Today is the day I decided I will never again tip someone before receiving service. read more

When A16 opened in the Ferry Building a few months ago they were heating up the sandwiches, taking them from a cold case where you could see what you were getting. I hadn't been in at least 3 months - things have changed - now the sandwiches are wrapped so you can't see them and no longer heated up for customers. Maybe a health code thing....so I was ok with that, until I had my Tuna sandwich. I knew what was on it. Tuna, some fennel and arugula on focaccia bread. Probably ok cold but for $17?! sorry..it wasn't. There needs to be a little more zing to it -- maybe capers or some lemon or something.... also that fresh focaccia gets dry quick - needs a toasting for sure. The other sandwiches, that are not on focaccia, are probably ok. I honestly have only every tried the tuna...The lack of a line of customers at 12:20 pm on Tuesday says it all, A16 has too much competition in this location to allow for these deficiencies to continue. Do better. read more
