Il Leone books on Resy, with a window of about 20 days. We have not measured a single release hour from the record, so we do not publish one. The 38 release events we have recorded are spread through the window, mostly cancellations, each lasting minutes.
Early and prime, rarely late. The slot we have seen open most often is 5:30 PM, 33% of recorded openings fell before 6 PM, and 39% came in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window, one of the higher prime-time shares we track in Brooklyn. Only 4% were at 9 PM or later. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
A pizza room with an early crowd gives back early tables and, unusually, the 7:30 ones. When Il Leone opens, it opens at the hour you wanted.
Before 6 PM: 33%. Prime time: 39%. 9 PM or later: 4%.
Book a Saturday, which at 43% is a table you can plausibly get this week, or ask for 5:30 PM on any night. For a specific weeknight, watch it and take the cancellation. Party size makes no difference; two and four sit at the same 33%.
Book on Resy. The window is about 20 days.
Try Saturday. It is the open night here, not the closed one.
Ask for 5:30 PM or prime time; almost nothing opens late.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Il Leone on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Park Slope pizza room opens on Saturdays and gives back 39% of its tables at prime time, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
