"No matter how many times you refresh your browser window, you probably won’t land a dinner reservation at Torrisi. Lunch ones do pop up, however. If you need somewhere to celebrate your birthday or impress someone who reads blind items, book a table in the loft-like room patrolled by servers dressed like Humphry Bogart. Start with the platter of ham and zeppole, then move on to the prawn raviolini. Reservations are released online 30 days in advance at 10am. There's also a large bar area up front that's saved for walk-ins. We came on a weeknight around 6pm to see if we could snag a few of those seats, and they quoted us a four-hour wait. So maybe bring a crossword—or come for lunch." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
