Here's how to do it: a glass of vino, a hearty bowl of homemade pasta, and a seat at a table facing the energetic exhibition kitchen. Named after a highway that runs through Italy, A 16 spins out the kind of exquisitely simple stuff that keeps the place packed night and day. The appealing menu features seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms, creating a lovely homegrown feel. Begin the feast with Neapolitan-style salsiccia pizza (wood-fired and topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, crumbled fennel seed sausage, rapini, garlic, and chilies); or scialatiella, thin ribbons of pasta tossed in chili oil and studded with bits of rich pork. Conclude with a decadent medjool date cake, a buttery sensation served with heady amaretto sauce and crème fraîche.
