Food Critic



Ever since moving to San Francisco, I've wanted to sample the UBER-good cuisine the city has to offer. I had my eye on the Zagat Restaurant book but never bought it until last week. So here's the first of many potential reviews of restaurants.

I guess I'm a foodie at heart.

A16 (Chestnut Street, Marina District)

All I gotta say is this is one of the most Yuppy restaurants I've ever been to. It's basically a restaurant of twenty-somethings and those young at heart craving some good Italian Food especially from the Campolino region of Italy. I wanted to come here because it's near my work and everytime I pass by it (even during the day) it's full of people and yesterday we had an occasion to. Well not really, but it was fun. All I gotta say is their homemade pasta is amazing. It was in this proscuitto base tomato sauce topped with grated mozzarella cheese. The noodles had enough gluten in it such that when you bite into it, it doesn't fall apart, but it's just the right level of chewy. We also tried the Marguerita Pizza. It was a little charred for my taste, but the thin crust and everything together was still pretty good.

The ambiance is nice and the waiters are trendy. All in all, I think it's a really good date place. (Winnie, I know you, Debbie and Yoona still doubt my standards of what constitutes as "date-y" but I'm sure this one is. :D)
