I Sodi is a small, well-loved Tuscan restaurant on Bleecker Street in the West Village, best known for rustic Italian cooking (its lasagna is frequently singled out by reviewers) served in a tight, intimate dining room. Because the space is small and a portion of seating is reserved strictly for walk-ins, it has built a reputation as a spot people are willing to line up for.
Reservations can be booked in advance through Resy for table seating, but the bar is walk-in only, and that's where the reported waits concentrate — reviewers mention hosts quoting waits of an hour or more, occasionally up to two hours, during peak dinner hours. Multiple accounts suggest arriving right at opening is the best way to grab a walk-in seat without a long wait.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Reservations via Resy — the restaurant's site directs all booking there. Reservation trackers report tables open 13 days in advance at 12:00 AM ET and prime dinner slots sell out in roughly 20–100 seconds (per Snatchd).
Walk-ins: The restaurant's own reservations page says 'Walk-ins always welcome' — but given Resy tables vanish in under two minutes, expect a wait for a walk-in seat at prime dinner hours.
Open daily; dinner from 4:30pm, with lunch service added Fri–Sun (per isodinyc.com).
That said, reviewers describe it as a West Village classic that regularly draws lines out the door for its handful of walk-in bar seats, and hosts have reportedly quoted waits of an hour or more (sometimes up to two hours) during busy dinner service. Arriving right at opening is the most commonly cited way to minimize the wait. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Tables can be booked in advance (the restaurant is listed on Resy), but a portion of seating — notably the bar — is kept for walk-ins only, which is where most of the reported waiting happens.
