QUOTE(TaliesinNYC @ Jun 22 2010, 03:25 PM) 
4:30 so I can have a reasonable chance of being within the first dozen parties. I seriously doubt folks converge at 5:30. If I showed up at 5:30, that might already be too late.
Your mileage may vary, but I showed up at 5:30 on a Friday evening, with room to spare. Not a lot of room...but room. I think 5:30 (for the first seating at 6:00) should cut it on almost any day of the week.

If I go to Torrisi at 12:30 today, will I have to wait an hour?

You WILL have to wait, but in my experience much less than an hour.

I have no doubt it is not for everyone. Wait times, really small and tight. But I had a enjoyable dinner there and walked away impressed. Also got there at 5:45 and made the first seating. BBQ lamb shoulder excellent!

I enjoyed it but truthfully would be hesitant to recommend it to you on your short visits. Nothing earth shattering but well prepared food with obvious talent behind it.A la Sneakeater:

And I happen to love turkey.
