On warm evenings, walking by Fanelli Cafe means passing a crowd staged on the Prince Street sidewalk, not because the restaurant is over capacity but because most diners want one of the coveted outdoor tables, according to The Infatuation's review of Fanelli Cafe. The reviewer describes seeing 'a bunch of folks wearing recycled Y2K trends loitering on the sidewalk as they wait for an outdoor table,' framing it as part of the scene rather than an overflow crowd.
The Infatuation does not report specific wait-time figures or a formal queue system, and no reservation or walk-in policy is detailed in the review, so the sidewalk wait appears to be an informal, weather-driven pattern tied to outdoor seating demand rather than a hard line for entry.
