There are a lot of restaurants that say they’re San Francisco institutions, but none of them can lay the kind of claim that Tommy’s Joynt can.

A 16, on Chestnut Street in the Marina, is beloved by its neighborhood and attracts food lovers from throughout the city and beyond. It’s an unassuming treasure, a salty and olive-oily gift of San Francisco’s food scene. The food and the wine showcase Southern, Italy, the Compania region, and, in fact, A 16 is named [...]
