A16 Rockridge

Oakland’s vibrant Rockridge district welcomes a new dining destination with the opening of A16 at 5356 College Avenue between Hudson Street and Broadway this May. Named for the highway crossing the Italian Peninsula’s countryside from Naples to Canosa di Puglia, A16 Rockridge features Southern Italian cuisine by Executive Chef Rocky Maselli who brings his own interpretation to the menu with a focus on dishes from Italy’s Puglia region, a destination known for its seafood. Owner/Wine Director Shelley Lindgren and Owner Victoria Libin have run restaurants in San Francisco for nearly 10 years, including the award-winning A16 in the Marina neighborhood and the Michelin-starred SPQR in the Fillmore district. This is their third project together and first in San Francisco’s East Bay. In addition to the new chef and menu, A16 Rockridge will feature a bar program focused on Southern Italian wines, Italian-inspired cocktails, and a full menu for late-night dining.
