damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Ponte Vecchio (PV Ristorante) yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
PV Ristorante's own site states that its tables are "sometimes booked for months in advance," especially for dates, family gatherings, and celebrations, after more than 35 years serving what it calls the best seafood in Bay Ridge. That kind of lead time points to sustained neighborhood demand rather than walk-up crowding.
The restaurant directs guests to book via OpenTable or by phone, and frames advance reservations as the default way to secure a table during busy periods, per its own site.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.

No specific wait time is published, but the restaurant's own site says tables are sometimes booked out months in advance for special occasions.
Yes — the restaurant recommends booking ahead via OpenTable or by calling (718) 238-6449, per pvristorante.com.
Not addressed directly on the restaurant's site, but given tables can be booked months out for peak dates, walking in is riskier than reserving ahead.
