From our experience you can try and walk in without a reservation, but you will be in a large queue and have a lengthy wait time. We originally tried to do the same, saw the long line, and made a booking for another night. You could go there early (say 6pm) and try to walk in then? We found the restaurant to have a great atmosphere but the two pasta dishes we had were both way too salty (and we eat a lot of Italian food). We preferred the Italian food at Cafe Di Mauro a few doors away but it doesn't have same atmosphere.
Good luck, hope you can just walk in to Pane & Vino, it does have a great ambiance.
