“Reservations for both lunch and dinner can be made exclusively through Resy up to 30 days in advance, starting at 10:00 AM EST.”
Torrisi releases tables on Resy only, 30 days ahead at 10 AM, Eastern time, for lunch and dinner. At our last check a table for two was open on 0% of the next 30 dates, though 30% of dates opened at some point, so after the drop the way in is a cancellation alert.
Either be ready on Resy at 10 AM exactly 30 days before your date, or catch a cancellation afterward, which is how most diners get in. Across 628,198 availability checks, only 996 found an open two-top, so the release rarely leaves anything behind. Taking Wednesday or Thursday and accepting lunch or a late table both measurably improve your odds.
Yes, for lunch and dinner, and only through Resy. Its own listing says reservations can be made exclusively through Resy up to 30 days in advance, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern. The difficulty is that almost nothing survives the release: 996 open two-top readings in 628,198 checks.
Yes, and it is harder than Carbone. On the 19 October 2026 reading, Torrisi showed a bookable two-top on 0% of the next 30 dates. Cumulatively, 996 of 628,198 availability checks found an open two-top. Carbone produced 7,375 open readings on a comparable number of checks.
Lunch and late. Of 1,731 open slots we have logged at Torrisi, 57% were before 6 PM and 43% at 9 PM or later, and 12:15 PM is the most frequently open time of all. Only 0% fell between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Wednesday, on our record. It produced 326 open two-top readings, against 247 for Thursday, 141 for Friday, 153 for Monday, 80 for Saturday and 49 for Tuesday. Sunday has produced 0 in 89,932 checks, which usually indicates a closed night rather than a hard one.
At no fixed hour. They surface as plans change, parties shrink and deposits get reconsidered, and each freed seat is bookable by whoever sees it first, usually within minutes. Because Torrisi opens so rarely at all, an alert that catches the moment matters more here than at an average restaurant.
Yes. Both are Major Food Group restaurants, both book on Resy, and both release new dates at 10 AM 30 days ahead. Our record separates them clearly: Carbone has produced 7,375 open two-top readings against Torrisi's 996, on a comparable number of checks.
No. SnagRes watches Torrisi on Resy around the clock and alerts you by text or email the moment a table opens. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. We never hold a table under another name and never resell one, unlike paid resale services that charge per successful reservation.

Torrisi is harder than its famous sibling, and we can show the gap. On our reading of 19 October 2026 it had a bookable two-top on 0 of the next 30 dates. Across 628,198 availability checks of the Torrisi calendar, only 996 have ever come back with an open two-top. Carbone, from the same restaurant group, produced 7,375 open readings on a comparable number of checks.
A zero does not mean Torrisi never seats anyone. It means a table almost never sits open long enough for a person who is not watching to find it, and it certainly means a casual search on a Thursday afternoon will show you an empty calendar. Torrisi is a Major Food Group room in Nolita serving Italian-American food, and it takes reservations on Resy only.
The number that keeps the door open is a different one. 30% of the dates we watched opened at some point, 11 dates in all, which means tables do come back. They come back as cancellations, and they go to whoever sees them first.
Party of two: 0% of the next 30 dates on the 19 October 2026 reading.
Party of four: 0% of the next 30 dates on that same reading.
Cumulative record: 996 open readings out of 628,198 availability checks.
Dates that opened at some point: 30%.
Platform: Resy, and only Resy. There is no phone line and no second app holding tables back.
Torrisi releases new dates 30 days ahead at 10 AM, local time, on Resy. Two independent sources say so. The restaurant's own Resy listing states that reservations for lunch and dinner can be made exclusively through Resy up to 30 days in advance, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern. Our own record agrees: across 220 release events logged on 48 days of observation, 10 AM is the hour they cluster in.
That puts Torrisi on the same clock as Carbone, which releases 30 days ahead at 10 AM and which we have watched through 581 release events. Same group, same platform, same morning. The difference is what survives the first minute, and at Torrisi almost nothing does.
Because the window rolls forward a day at a time, one fresh date appears at the far edge of the calendar each morning and the whole city arrives at that instant together. By 10:01 AM the night you wanted usually reads as fully booked. There is no second release later in the day and no separate list to join, so everything after that moment depends on someone else giving a table up.
When Torrisi does open, it opens at the edges of the day. Of the 1,731 open slots we have logged there, 57% were before 6 PM, mostly lunch, and 43% were at 9 PM or later. The single most frequently open time is 12:15 PM. Only 0% fell between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM. The earliest table we have seen offered is 11:45 AM and the latest is 11:00 PM.
The weekday pattern is thin but consistent. Wednesday produced 326 open two-top readings and Thursday 247, more than any other night. Friday produced 141, Monday 153, Saturday 80 and Tuesday 49. On Sundays we have run 89,932 checks and seen 0 bookable two-tops. A flat zero across a sample that size usually means the room is dark that night rather than merely full, so Sunday is not the night to keep refreshing.
Be careful how you read those slot numbers. They describe the times that were left open when we looked, not when Torrisi serves dinner. At a restaurant this hard, the two are close to opposites: lunch and late tables top the list precisely because 8 PM never survives to be counted.
The honest summary is that the bookable version of Torrisi is a midweek lunch or a late table. That is a real reservation at a very good restaurant, and it is the part of the calendar that has actually opened in our record. The 8 PM Saturday two-top most people start by asking for is the part that almost never does.
Most frequently open slot: 12:15 PM, out of 1,731 logged openings.
Before 6 PM: 57%. At 9 PM or later: 43%.
Prime time, 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM: 0% of sightings.
Best nights: Wednesday at 326 open readings and Thursday at 247. Tuesday produced 49.
Sunday: 0 open two-top readings in 89,932 checks, which reads as a closed night rather than a hard one.
In practice, a Torrisi table means catching a cancellation. The 10 AM release is worth setting an alarm for, but 996 open readings in 628,198 checks tells you what happens to it: the drop is claimed before most people finish selecting a party size. The openings a normal diner can actually take are seats somebody else gave back.
Cancellations arrive at no fixed hour. They surface as plans change, parties shrink and deposits get reconsidered, and each one is bookable by whoever sees it first, usually for a few minutes at most. A table released at 4:10 PM on a Tuesday is invisible unless something is watching Torrisi for it, and nobody can refresh Resy every few minutes for a week.
Point your flexibility where the data does. Take Wednesday or Thursday over the weekend, and accept lunch or a late table. Each of those choices moves you from the part of the calendar that rarely opens to the part that demonstrably does.
Set an alarm for 10 AM exactly 30 days before your date, with Resy open and your party size ready.
Aim for lunch or late: 57% of logged openings were before 6 PM and 43% at 9 PM or later.
Try Wednesday, which produced 326 open two-top readings, and skip Sunday, which has produced 0 in 89,932 checks.
Let an alert do the waiting, because cancellations surface at hours no person can sit and refresh through.
We track 284 restaurants. That is the whole list, and the small number is the point. A service watching tens of thousands of rooms cannot tell you that Torrisi has produced 996 open readings in 628,198 checks, or that its openings pile up at lunch and late at night. We gave up coverage in order to know the rooms we cover.
Everything here comes from re-checking the same calendars around the clock, 61,530,416 availability checks so far across the tracked list, of which 628,198 are Torrisi. The percentages are a point-in-time reading of the current booking window. The counts are cumulative. When a figure on this page changes, it is because the restaurant changed.
We also never book a table. SnagRes watches Torrisi and texts or emails you the moment one appears, and you then book it yourself in your own Resy account at the restaurant's own price. No bot holds a seat under a stranger's name, and there is nothing for sale afterward. Paid resale is the practice New York's 2024 reservation law was written to address, and we are not in that business.

Torrisi releases reservations 30 days ahead, and its calendar runs about 30 days deep in our checks. At the last check a table for two was bookable on 0% of the dates in that window, so the release itself is the one real chance, and the rest come back as cancellations.
Because the tables that exist are gone at the drop. Across 628,198 checks, Torrisi has shown a bookable table for two on 0% of dates, though 30% of dates opened at some point. We have recorded 220 release events there. 0% of the openings we have seen were between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. The seats you can actually get are the ones that come back when someone cancels, which is why an alert on the date beats refreshing.
Torrisi's calendar reaches 1 December on Sunday, 1 November, and each later date follows the same rule: 30 days ahead. Hours are local to the restaurant.
