Time Out's Best Italian Restaurants guide describes Lillo Cucina Italiana as a 'pint-sized neighborhood eatery' with 'only six seats,' where the pasta is fresh and the feeling is homey. With that little room, any real demand converts directly into a wait outside the door.
Time Out notes the restaurant is 'still kicking it old school,' meaning it doesn't take reservations or credit cards — a walk-in-only, cash-focused policy that, combined with a six-seat room, produces predictable lines for a restaurant with relatively cheap pasta (most dishes under $20).
