"How Far In Advance Should You Book? You can probably snag a few seats this evening, but the responsible route is booking a month out. This one’s shocking. Lilia’s sister restaurant near the Williamsburg waterfront was once the hottest table in the city. Things are different now. If you’re the spontaneous type, there’s usually same-day availability. You can also book a full three or four weeks out for a guaranteed table. If you’re planning a special dinner, and pasta is the priority, put this place near the top of your list." - bryan kim
