Lilia is chef Missy Robbins' celebrated Italian restaurant in Williamsburg, known for handmade pasta and wood-fired cooking; it draws a following that makes both reservations and walk-in tables hard to come by, according to Yelp reviews and Resy's own guide to the restaurant.
Reported walk-in waits have ranged widely, from roughly 30 minutes to as long as three hours according to Resy, with Friday through Sunday bringing the most walk-in traffic. The restaurant reserves bar seats and some outdoor piazza/patio spots specifically for walk-ins, and arriving right at opening is the guidance reviewers give for the best shot at getting seated.

Reservations: Reservations open 28 days ahead at 10 a.m. on Resy and typically fill within hours for a weekend date, with cancellations most often appearing around 2 p.m. on the day itself, per Resy's guide to Lilia.
Walk-ins: Per Resy's guide, Lilia holds the bar, some patio tables, and spots on the outdoor piazza for walk-ins; arriving right at the 4 p.m. opening gives the best shot, though peak hours (7-9 p.m.) can mean 30-minute to three-hour waits, busiest Friday through Sunday.
Per Resy's guide: Lilia Caffé serves 8 a.m.-4 p.m. daily; Lilia Ristorante serves dinner 4 p.m.-10 p.m. daily.

Yes, reservations are bookable on Resy, but per Resy's own coverage they're highly sought-after and often hard to land. Lilia also holds back bar seats and some spots on the outdoor piazza and patio specifically for walk-in guests.
Per Yelp and the restaurant's official site: Monday-Thursday 5:00pm-9:30pm, Friday-Sunday 4:00pm-9:30pm.
Resy's guide reports that arriving right at opening (4pm on Friday-Sunday) gives walk-ins the best chance at a table, since guests can put their name down early for a bar or patio spot later.
