A16 is celebrating National Women’s Day by hosting a special dinner: “Every year on March 8, throughout Italy you’ll find women of all ages exchanging sprigs of yellow mimosas and gathering in restaurants with female family and friends to celebrate a day in honor of all women. At A16 Rockridge, the restaurant will be decked out in yellow mimosas and filled with gratitude for the countless inspiring women, past and present.” Executive Sous Chef Nicolette Manescalschi created a spring menu that includes Pastry Chef Hannah Buoye’s meyer lemon polenta cake. And every wine by the glass on Wine Director Shelley Lindgren’s list will be from a woman vintner.
