A16

Even before A16 won a James Beard Award, it was hard to book, but persevere: the housemade mozzarella burrata, blister-crusted pizzas from the wood-burning oven and 12-page Italian wine list make it worth your while. Skip the spotty desserts and instead double up on adventurous appetizers, including house-cured salumi platters and delectable marinated tuna.
