1652 | Sixteen Fifty Two

We have been to your restaurant many times and love the new menu! Food is always fantastic and the waitstaff and bartenders are terrific. I am only going to offer you this advice because I want to see you succeed! Last night when we arrived at 8pm with a party of 6 adults I knew we may have to wait but when we approached the hostess and I told her we were a party of 6 she rolled her eyes at me and initially didn’t even respond. She then told me it would be a 45 min wait. I looked around and noticed many tables finishing their meals so I asked her if there were a lot of people waiting ahead of us and I was told no it is just us. I have worked many years in the restaurant business so I knew it wouldn’t be a 45 min wait and we opted to put our names in. She appeared very annoyed never smiling or offering thanks she just walked away to get a piece of paper to write my name down. 10 min later a table opened and we were sat within 15-20 min of arrival. While we waited at the door a party of 4 arrived and your hostess never greeted them and after about 10 min they left. We stayed and enjoyed our meal and our waitress was lovely but had we been swayed by the negative attitude we encountered on arrival you would have lost our business along with the other 4 ppl who left. Maybe some training with your hostess should happen as she is the first impression people get.

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Other than pizza and pasta, there weren't many options. Tried my wife's lobster pizza (not a regular menu item)...it was very good. I started with the mixed greens salad which was mostly just field greens with a few bits of tomatoes and carrots. I ordered the sausage and peppers appetizer as my meal (adding picture) and it was excellent though I didn't know it came on bread like a bruchette. Our service was good except the timing of the meals was off. None of our meals came at the same time. Our server was clearly being trained but she was never introduced as training so it was just a little awkward. The place seems to be attempting to be a little more upscale than the other options in the area and for the most part it is. For me it was much too loud and too cold to the point it was uncomfortable. So, I'd give the food 4 stars... maybe a little overpriced. It was really the freezing AC and the very loud atmosphere that brought my review down to 3 stars. Will likely try again.

Must try ricotta toast ????, sauces are delicious and fresh pasta. Orecchettie with sausage and broccoli was voted on best meal at our table of 7! A bit pricey with drinks but well worth the visit!

1652 is a beautiful restaurant with absolutely delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. Guests can dine on the front deck, inside, and at the bar. It was open air the night I dined and it was pleasant to feel the slight breeze coming into the restaurant. The pizzas are cooked in a pizza oven and are fantastic! The oil, garlic and chili pasta is also worth getting (it leaves diners wondering what is that delicious garlic smell). There's only four beer taps and a fairly small liquor selection, but what's there is top notch.

Very compact with nice views! Kind of loud. Friendly service and Wifi available.
I had steak with vegetables, ricotta toast as an appetizer and chocolate cake with raspberry gelato for dessert. Delicious.
If you don't mind noise, I recommend this restaurant. Go early. It gets busy!
