//The line

Bar Pitti is a cash-only, no-reservations Italian trattoria on Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village, open since 1992 and known for its canary-yellow storefront, sidewalk patio people-watching, and famously blunt service. Because it holds seats for walk-ins only, it has built a reputation as a place where a line out front is simply part of the experience.

Reviewers commonly describe waits of up to about 40 minutes at busier times, since there's no way to reserve ahead. The recurring guidance from diners is to arrive earlier in the evening — before roughly 7pm — to shorten the wait, with weekend dinner service drawing the longest queues.
