damnlines for iPhoneLive lines & push alerts — freeGetdamnlines.comThe NYC outpost of Rome's famed Roscioli, whose tasting-menu reservations sell out within a minute and carry a 1,200-person notify list.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Roscioli yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Roscioli's downstairs tasting menu releases reservations 30 days out at 10 a.m., and according to Resy's blog, 'within one minute all the reservations for Fridays looking 30 days out are gone,' leaving a Notify waitlist that averages around 1,200 people by the day of service. The tasting room seats only about 40 people across 12 tables, four bar seats, and one communal table, across two nightly seatings at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., with no walk-ins accepted, per Resy.
The ground-level à la carte space is easier to access: it seats roughly 25 and accepts a limited walk-in waitlist before 5 p.m. alongside standard reservations, Resy reports. Resy's guide adds that Roscioli's director of guest relations evaluates the 'effort and sincerity' behind reservation requests, and that demonstrating familiarity with the original Rome location can improve odds of landing a table.
