We started with some artichokes and mozzarella paired with some pine nuts that was cooked in some savory broth almost like a thick kitchen soup.  It was delicious.  Then we had the pizza bianca.  Green olives, fresh herbs, and fontina went well with the slightly burned thin crust.  We then topped the meal off with a real special treat: porchetta.  The porchetta didn&#8217;t have much in the way of herbs inside but it did have crispy salty skin to complement the moist pork meat and fat on the inside.  It was served with some arugula, pickled strawberries, and hazelnuts.  Though it wasn&#8217;t exactly what I expected, I am glad we had it.  Very delicious. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A16<br \/>\n2355 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, CA 94123<br \/>\n415.771.2216<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a few hers since I last went to A16 Founding chef Nate Appleman was still there and a reservation was essential.
