The Infatuation's guide to the Lower East Side's best restaurants warns that 'if you don't have a reservation at primetime on a Saturday night, you might encounter a bit of a wait' at Cervo's. The framing suggests the crunch is concentrated on weekend prime-time slots rather than a constant, all-week line.
The guide encourages diners not to be deterred by the possibility of waiting, promising that once seated 'with a martini and some mussels,' the effort is worth it. No specific wait-time figures or hours were given beyond that Saturday-night caveat.
