Johnny Prime's roundup of NYC's top old-school Italian spots calls Arthur & Sons 'one of the hardest places to score a table,' placing it among the city's most in-demand red-sauce rooms despite being a relative newcomer. The restaurant leans into a classic Italian-American identity — parms, meatballs, subs, tomato-can decor — that Prime says has fans chasing every seat.

Jupiter Magazine reports the restaurant's Resy slots 'have been booked solid since the joint opened,' indicating the demand has been sustained rather than a brief opening-week spike. Reservations run through Resy, per search results on the restaurant's booking channel, and no source described a walk-in-friendly wait.
