Why this room is hard

It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-week window.

I Cavallini is Brendan McHale's Bowery Italian, opened in the old Peasant address with a menu that runs Roman and a dining room that traffics in scene as much as service. The horses on the wall give the room its name.

Resy opens fourteen days ahead at 8am Eastern. Weekend prime tables go in the first two minutes; weeknights and late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu.

Two weeks out. One Bowery room. One horse motif.
The three rules

How we work this room.

Three commitments that apply to every I Cavallini request, every night the kitchen is open. No fine print, no surcharges, no surprises at the door.

What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into I Cavallini, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
