It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a prime-time problem.
Bad Roman is the Quality Branded group's third-floor Italian room inside the Shops at Columbus Circle, opened in 2023. The dining room runs a Roman-American menu under chandeliers, the bar is its own scene, and the room has been a hard 8pm since it opened.
OpenTable lists the room and the 7-to-9pm tables clear in the first minutes of release. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu most nights; lunch and the late seatings (10pm-plus) stay open longer than the prime slots.

How do I get a reservation at Bad Roman?
Name Bad Roman and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.
Why is Bad Roman so hard to book?
Bad Roman is one of the most in-demand tables in Columbus Circle. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.
When do Bad Roman reservations open up?
Bad Roman releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
How much does it cost to book Bad Roman through The Elusive List?
One flat fee, charged only when we confirm your table. No table, no charge. Sign in to see the exact fee for Bad Roman.
