Trapizzino | Trastevere

Our experience at Trapizzino started rough but ended wonderfully (food and service was great!). When we arrived, we were the first where it says “Wait here for table”. No one spoke to us for about 10-15 minutes, even with several attempts to ask staff. We were told there’s a list, but our name was not taken. But once they did engage us, we were seated and we had a wonderful server- so helpful and kind, and amazing food. Both the Trapizzino and suplí were great! We would definitely return. I would suggest to the restaurant to have someone dedicated to taking names at the front.

I needed something quick and delicious as I had just landed... I've seen this place all over YouTube and it was straight up surreal being inside! Tasty and filling, I opted for the cacciatore chicken and 2 suppli - 1 classic and 1 amatricana. I had been following a strict keto diet for many months and there's no way around it with this carb heavy spot lol.

My husband and I are major foodies and thought this place was so overrated. It is a cute idea and very good prices, but the chicken pizza pocket was not good in my opinion (my husband thought it was ok) and I thought the meatball pizza pocket was just ok and my husband didn’t like it. The suppli and the croquette were fun to try here. we liked the shaved ice coffee. Sat outside and there’s pigeons everywhere but still nice and shady. The servers were very kind and helpful.

Stopped here for lunch and a beet. Tasty sandwiches but not many vegan options although the staff did accommodate to make a vegan version. The specials of the day vary and some days will have more vegan options so best to check that if you're going plant based. Otherwise the staff are so lovely, friendly, welcoming and polite. Great service and very affordable prices given its popularity amongst locals and tourists! Will go again to try the vegan options next time!

What an awesome find. Easily the best service we’ve had in Rome and excellent food to match. Every item was delicious and was great to try a new Italian street food. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable servers make all the difference when the dishes are on special or hard to understand in another language. The incredible price for great food, beer and service makes this a must try.

A perfect spot for those looking for a quick bite without compromising on authentic Roman flavor. The sandwiches are incredibly unique — unmistakably Italian! The bread and fillings are high-quality and satisfying to the taste. If you're really hungry, one trapizzino (around €5) might not be enough to fill you up, but as a casual street-food-style snack, it’s just right. We tried the eggplant and meatball options — both were absolutely delicious. The place has a charming outdoor garden and offers surprisingly good service for a street food concept. The staff are friendly and happy to explain the menu in detail if you're curious. Tucked away in a lovely corner of Trastevere, this place is perfect for anyone wanting to experience Roman street food with a gourmet twist.

Amazing experience. We went several times while we were in Rome. Food is Delicious, especially Trapizzinos, which are great to eat on the go. Prices are good, very unexpensive despite being in an excellent central location. The service was splendid, and everyone was kind. Will defintely return when I'm back in Rome!

Had to try the Trastevere edition of Trapizzino, as these restaurants exist in other parts of Rome, but this one came highly recommended. It was busy, as expected but we managed to get an outdoor seat for some good people watching. We got a sampling of their signature Trapazzinos, including meatball, tongue, and the special oxtail. They were all delicious and the bread was crisp outside, soft/warm inside. The suppli and cod/potato coquette were outstanding! Perfectly crispy and flavorful/savory inside! Passing along the recommendation!!

We saw this place on YouTube from The Pasini's and we just knew we had to visit. After a long tour of catacombs and crypts, we stopped here for lunch. Wonderful suppli and trapizzinos. Delicious, as promised. The suppli were some of the best we'd had. Service was quick and friendly. No issue with my butchered Italian, thankfully. Space is limited and it's not a place to hang out. But that's perfect at lunch time.

Walking around Rome, there are so many places vying for your business. We walked by the Trapizzino window and saw them serving these amazing looking sandwiches. We asked for a table and was shown a table that was across the street? Interesting but I'm open for adventure. We're in a spritz mood mood while in Italy so we started with a few Aprol Spritzes to get the lunch party started. The waitress spoke English which was a nice feature. I zero'd in on the fresh Burrata Trapizzino. Using their creamy cheese and freshly baked bread, what was served to me was an amazing sandwich from this restaurant. So glad we made the stop, enjoy!

Intro: One of the joys of traveling is checking out the local cuisine. Especially once you run into a really good one. After exploring The Vatican, I stopped by Trapizzino Trilussa for a snack. It was recommended to me in my guide book so I made my way to this location in my favorite part of Rome---Trastevere. Service (3/5): Like most restaurants in Europe, the service leaves something to be desired. Typically, it's not terribly friendly or efficient. That's the case here too. You often have to get a hold of a waiter to get what you want. It's a bit annoying but on par with what you tend to see in Italy. Ambiance (3.5/5): Casual spot with some small tables and bar stool seating. People often grab-and-go from their outdoor kiosk so it doesn't seem like they put a ton of emphasis on the in-person experience. With that being said, you can skip the line if you sit inside. Drinks (4/5): Full beverage menu including beer, wine, cocktails, soft drinks, water and more. Both times I visited I got their house-made lemonade which is solid. Food (5/5): This is where they shine and in a big way. A trapizzino is basically a triangular bread that is cut open and stuffed with various ingredients like meats, veggies, and sauces. They have various options for you to choose from as well as daily specials. While their daily specials are interesting, I went with the chicken cacciatore both times which is addictive. The bead is warm and chewy. The chicken is served with a delectable sauce. It's so good! Pretty much perfection for a small and quick meal. They are also known for their supli which is a South Italian classic. Think of it as croquettes. I tried one on my first visit but it wasn't anything to write home about. The trapizzinos are where it's at! Overall: If you're looking for a casual meal or snack, this is the place for you. One trapizzino is good enough but if you order multiple or some other things on their menu, you'll have yourself a full meal. Don't miss out on this Italian invention!

This was one of the few places we visited twice during our trip because our first experience was so great. We loved their traditional dishes and ended up trying as much of the menu as we could! The place was busy every time we went, so it's definitely worth the hype!

This place is pretty good ! We only tried the meatball trapizzino but it was good. Nice soft but crunchy bread, meatball had flavor, it was nice and hot... 5 euros. They serve beer from the window that was cool too. Definitely worth stopping by, service was quick also, 4 euros for a beer. Vibe was chill.

I loved the chicken trapizzino! The wine taste and amount of chicken in it was great! It wasn't worth ever going back for, but I'm glad I tried it! My boyfriend enjoyed the meatball one, but there was less meat. The suplj was good and probably the best thing we got! We sat outside and were approached by peddlers, but they can't really help that.

This place was so original and the food was amazing, we got the specials and the original meatball one. The food came out fast and after we ate when we went to pay I was ready for the bill to be over 30€ for how good our lunch was, it was barely 20€!! This was the first supplí I tried in Rome and it may have set the bar to high because I haven't tried one as good since! There is an open counter near the back where you can see everything being prepared, the location we went was near downtown Trastevere so the whole experience was great. When I came back the waiter recognized me, the way he presents the specials to you makes the whole experience even better.

We found this wonderful casual eats during our stay in Rome! We sat in lounge chairs and ordered the chicken trapizzino. The chicken was seasoned very nicely- with a little vinegar and herbs. We also ordered a burrata trapizinno which was also very good. It wa slide diets burrata. The suppli was delicious. The outer crispy part was so crispy! We ordered a mashed potato croquette- also delicious. Prices are so reasonable too. 2 euro for a suppli and about 5 euro for the trapizzinos.

Simple flavors, but really well done and balanced. They use sourdough bread, which I thought would be tough, but were surprisingly soft and delicious. We got the meatball and eggplant trappizinos and classic, amatriciana, and mixed vegetable supplis. All were very good. We especially enjoyed the classic suppli - order this if nothing else. Service was great

WOW. This was hands down one of my favorite meals in Rome. The aubergine parmigiana was incredible. I went back another night just to get another one! The bread was delicious and so quick and easy to get. The bar was nice and somewhat busy. There is a take away window that is very quick!

Loved the food! I loved the concept. It's like pizza on the go! Chicken, meatball was super good. Meatball was super soft and flavorful. The chicken had a nice burst or herbs and flavors. The service was eh, but the food was amazing!

I had the beef/onion and pork, amazing seasoning and tender meat. Suggest getting a table, the wait is worth it. The flavor is unique and the bread is fresh and perfect. The suppli is also excellent. They are closed on Mondays. This place is a must visit!

Really really good bread. So fluffy with a nice crunchy crust. The fillings were meh. The meatball I had was decent but nothing amazing. Didn't get to try the chicken cacciatore which was a shame. Partner got the eggplant and basically ate around it for the bread. Also had an amazingly fresh bellini here. The sparkling wine they use was good. They're a wine bar so the waiter tried to recommend something but it ended up being the same wine in the bellini so didn't really need it. I think he was trying to make up for the fact they forgot our food order for like an hour. Something got missed and it was never put in since it should be reasonably quick. Overall, good food and pretty quick bite.

Best Trapizzino in town! Did you know Trapizzino was first invented in Rome Italy? Trapizzino is similar to a calzone in America, where the meat and sauce are stuffed inside the dough. The bread is like a fluffy panini and absorbs the sauce very well. I had the beef tongue (lingua) pesto Trapizzinoi, it was very moist and delicious for just $7euro!

Ambiance is loud, small space, very informal. They have an outside takeaway window so you can buy your trap and walk with it. The trapizino is probably the best thing I've had in Rome and I will forever miss it when I leave. They have about 5 standard iterations, and 3-5 daily specials. I recommend the pork neck, eggplant, and meatball trapizinos. The pork one is tender and juicy. The eggplant is perfectly cooked with generous amounts of cheese. The meatball with pomodoro sauce is just classic. The service can be gruff because they are so busy handling indoor and outdoor customers, multiple languages are going on from Italian, English, German, French...I've heard them all circling the takeaway window at the same time. Anyway once they get to know you though they are super nice and fun to be around- always cracking jokes. Oh I should say the price is awesome. 1 trap is 5€ !! Can't beat that.

One of our absolute FAVORITE eats on our entire European trip. This place was so delicious, my kids couldn't get enough and asked to come back before we left Rome. The Meatball and Chicken cacciatore trapizzino were so so good. Order a couple suppli here too. Really great street food. Now I need to figure out how to re-create this meal back in the states!

This tastes like a Costco rotisserie chicken in bread. Complete waste of money, overhyped, don't go nothing special not worth it. Also the outside area where you need to wait in line smells like raw sewage.

Was really excited to try this place and the wait wasn't bad since they had a takeout window in addition to a seating area. It was a busy Saturday night so keep that in context for what my experience was like. We sat down for our meal and ordered a coke, Negroni, a couple Trappizzino and their deep fried risotto balls. We waited about 30 minutes and the food came out but it was ice cold, like colder than the air temperature which was very strange. That said, I still ate it and liked the flavor of the sauce (I got the lingua, my wife the meatball. All this time I was wondering, when will my drink be here? I asked the waiter again and he told me it's busy but that they will come - we never ended up getting them after more than an hour of waiting. Before we left we tried the risotto balls which were also cold, hard and forgettable. When it was time to pay our bill the waiter took my money (I gave more than double the cost of the bill) and waited for change. After 10 minutes and asking other staff members, another staff member brought out our change and apologized profusely because at this point I just wanted to leave and I'm sure I looked like it. This was incredibly disappointing for me but obviously others have had some great experiences. Hopefully this was just a busy, bad night for the staff but for me I won't be going back.

Really good food. The wine program was interesting and servers were impressively knowledgeable about the bottles served. Food was all delicious but note that any comments regarding gluten free options that are mentioned in other reviews no longer apply - I asked and they said absolutely not for just fillings in a cup even for someone who is mildly sensitive. Everyone who could partake liked this place a lot - pizza cone was very good (we tried the broccoli and cheese, eggplant, and meatball varieties). We wish there were an option for just cheese in the suppli. Definitely recommend (we ate here in Rome in January and tried the NYC location in May).

A cute, fun and delicious place to stop for an afternoon snack/lunch. Trapizzino was recommended by a friend that used to live in Rome, so it was at the top of our list. She described it as a great place to try Roman street food, and it did not disappoint. Tables are inside or up next to the green booths that sit in the middle of piazzas. We were seated right away (definitely got there earlier afternoon), but it took a while to get order taken/get food/get check. Between two of us, we ordered the Supplì (I'm forgetting the official name, but we got one that had meat & mozzarella), the pollo alla cacciatora & polpetta al sugo. Star of the show here was hands down pollo alla cacciatora. A great spot to stop at before exploring Trastevere - long lines form for both dining & to go orders, so be ready for some patience pre-deliciousness.

I hunt food like some hunt wild animals. I have wanted to eat year after watching several years of Roman youtube reviews and reading articles. Yes, it is excellent. Yes, it's a sandwich, but it is so much more. We tried nearly all the trapizzino and several Suppli. The Lingua with salsa Verde stands out. The Trapizzino con Polpetta al Sugo was stood out too as did thePollo alla Cacciatora. What am I saying? They were all stand outs. Just eat. you can sit outside or inside. The place is very busy. Suppli is fried rice with cheese in the middle. This place served our favorite Suppli of the trip. I love pizza, but I think in Rome the Suppli is so good it's better than the pizza. The waitstaff couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. We at first got a to go order then asked to be put on the list for a table so we could keep ordering. They just shrugged their shoulders and said, sure. We kept eating. They could have been annoyed by this but just welcomed us in and kept us full of drinks and food. Great place. For such a simple food, they do it so marvelously. I want to go back already.

Mmmmmm... tasty and totally different. My husband and I wanted a bite and stopped by here due to reviews. Not only was it affordable, it was so flavorful. I suggest you get the Chicken Carbonara Trapizzino as it is so flavorful. Enjoy a glass of wine with it. Our wine was about 5.50 euros! The people there are very nice and can help you choose a wine to your liking. Don't get the meatball trapizzino as it is not that flavorful. We saw a lot of people buy suppli, which I believe you should try if you haven't in Italy. Yes, this is a great place for a date, as you can enjoy some wine and a bite. It's a tiny place, so you are not guaranteed a spot right away. You are welcome to grab and go!

Ordered takeaway and came out in 5 mins. This place is famous for the Italian street pocket pizza style and it's close to many of the attractions. I ordered a suppli and a one of the special flavors of the trapizzino ( they change frequently) , the meat was very tender and quite flavorful , the bread was not as fresh as I had hoped. The classic suppli was ok, I was expecting more spices. This place is ridiculously cheap and quick , worth a try but could be so much better

Saw photos of these pockets on IG and had to stop by to try it myself! It's a chain, so they have many locations around Rome. It's a very casual spot. There's a whole display case of all the fillings you can choose from. You can order right at the counter if you want them to-go. If you want to eat it at the restaurant, they have a waiter that will take you order. We opted to eat it in the restaurant so we could enjoy a nice glass of wine with our meal. I ordered 1 meatball, and my friend ordered a Beef one. I took one bite of my meatball pocket and I fell in love. The outside of the pocket is slightly crunch and inside is so soft! I devoured it so fast that I had to order another one. My friends had to order another beef one as well! I was not a big fan of the beef one. It has an interesting smokey taste that I didn't like too much. I wouldn't say go out of your way for this place, but if you happen to be near a Trapizzino and need a quick bite, definitely stop by!

The Trapizzino is a street food made with a triangular flatbread stuffed with a selection of Roman-style fillings. The bread was crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside (like a good pizza dough), and the most popular selections were the Polpetta al Sugo, a beef meatball in tomato sauce, and the Pollo alla Cacciatora, strips of dark meat chicken in an herbaceous, acidic sauce made of white wine, rosemary, garlic, and vinegar. But the most unexpectedly delicious filling I tried was the Lingua in Salsa Verde, a filling of chilled, sliced boiled beef tongue in a green sauce made of parsley, anchovies, garlic, capers, olives, olive oil, and vinegar. In addition to the trapizzini, I also had an order of the Suppli', a fritter made of a risotto of Carnaroli rice mixed with a tomato and meat sugo and stuffed with mozzarella cheese. The best part of the Suppli' was the breadcrumb coating, which had a satisfyingly crispy crunch. Overall, this was an amazing street food restaurant for a casual bite in Trastevere, and the servers were so friendly and enthusiastic about explaining their menu offerings!

This street food is not to be missed. The pizza dough is soft with a crispy outside holding a yummy chicken cacciatore filling. Delicious!

Classic street food pizza where you buy by the weight, so you can choose exactly how much you want. It's the perfect breakfast food to eat on the go! I thought the pizza here was delicious. They warm it up for you so the toppings are melted and the bread is crunchy. My favorites were the classic tomato sauce, and the potato and rosemary pizza.

Unbelievably delicious and so worth the wait in the never-ending line outside. The line moves quickly, the service is excellent, and the trapizzini were far beyond our high expectations. Very inexpensive and supremely delicious - crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside with fantastically flavorful fillings.

The trapizzino here was awesome. We ordered the chicken one, which was the most popular, and the meatball. I have to say the meatball one was underwhelming; it was also hard to eat because the meatball was huge and kept slipping out of the bread. The chicken, though, was surprisingly delicious. There was a great blend of herbs in the taste. My boyfriend has claimed this as his all-time favorite Italian food through our trip. The downside for me was the ambience. It was a trapizzino place tucked in the back of a bar. I was really confused at first, until I saw the bright Trapizzino sign in the back. It was also a bit awkward to sit at the tables because we didn't know if it belonged to the bar or not. Regardless, the food is delicious. There are other trapizzino locations all around Rome too.

Good to try. Crispy and light. Interesting crust. Not the same as pizza. Suppli (veggie) was not good. 5 Euros per trappizino and 2 for suppli. We had eggplant one and cow tongue.

Absolutely excellent, sandwiches are all extremely good. Make sure to stay by the door after ordering because they come and call your name, they expect you to be prompt. The menu is in Italian but the host translated which was very nice of him.

This is a big deal! It's a new way to serve up old traditional Italian food. It's a triangular shaped pocket sandwich filled with yummy flavorful recipes. It's unique and tremendously filling street food. It wouldn't be difficult to grab one and walk down the old stoned roads enjoying the sights while making the tummy happy. #happytummyhappylifey The best part guys, you don't have to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to get this genius Trapizzino. They have opened two locations in the U.S. both found in NYC! Can't wait for seconds. Time to plan a weekend get-away.

The food is really really nice. Even though there is a lot of people waiting there, the food comes out super fast. Pollo ones are very nice, lingua ones are super delicious.

4€ each. Credit card accepted Our ranking: 1) pollo alla cacciatora- chicken - lots of meat. Chicken was cooked well 2) polpetta al sugo- beef meatball w/tomato sauce 3) Parmigiana & melanzane- eggplant parmigiana - not as flavorful but still good The bread was really good - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The guy spoke decent English and was very nice and helpful. He explained and showed us all the different fillings.

This is a truly locals Roman spot open for great street food to the all day and into the wee hours. I'm unable to find any words describe how good this stuff is. Think of a corner of a baked deep dish pizza stuffed with the most delicious flavors imaginable. They have actually great service for being such a local place and are happy to explain their menu and various options... they have about 30 different flavors or combinations choose from so every taste will be satisfied. It's saucy and crunchy with just the right amount of both and is clearly Rome's best version of street food ever invented. The Price is Right and you'll be surrounded by tons of young locals who know what they're doing. Come for a pick-me-up snack in the middle of day as you're walking around this great City or late night after you've had a few too many glasses of wine as the perfect alternative to the New York slice. If you're on a budget you can eat at this place everyday and be fine.

So interesting to try Trappezzinos! We literally came from another Suppli place and this place's suppli was more expensive and not as good. However their Trappezzino was interesting and different for sure. It's freshly baked cones and we waited a bit for them to come out of the oven. I had their meatball tomato sauce one and my husband had their oxtail. Their bread is incredibly fresh and soft on the inside, crisp on the outside. The meatball was sizeable and the tomato sauce was complementary to what could be a rich meatball. The oxtail was better I think, the meat was sooo tender and the sauce/soup so rich and savory it was really amazing. It's still definitely worth a try, would recommend it.

Great vibe. Super friendly service. The server recommends the food, the drink and was tentative.

We came here on a recommendation by a friend who is local. It is now one of our favorite out of all the spots in Rome to eat "fingerfood". We were in complete bliss over how good it was. No exaggeration. We had 3 trapizzini: doppia panna alici, bollito picchiapo and pollo cacciatora. Then the "arancini" looking things; cacio e pepe & classico. This was so good and I'm still thinking about it to this days afterwards. We met the owner, he is opening a place in New York. We will have to go there when in NY again.

We stopped in for a cappuccino and some suppli this morning. It was our first food after arriving in Rome. We sampled three suppli: traditional, gorgonzola, and potato with a meat. They were very good. And the service was outstanding! Very nice people. Hopefully we'll make it back before we leave.

**EAT HERE**We happened to stumble in here after a bad experience at the restaurant a few doors down. We sat at the bar and watched the big guy bartender squeeze massive amounts of fresh lemons for their lemonade. They have various red and white wines and a food menu. To be honest we didn't have any expectations for the food to be good. WE WERE WRONG! The Trapizzini here blew our minds! So much richly spiced marinated meats with different savory, spices and herbs all stuffed into into amazingly crunchy triangles of bread. The bartender describes them with such love and told us the stories of how the individual meats are prepared. We had 5 different kinds and every single one was super yummy. My husband loved the Pollo Alla Cacciatora and my favorite was the shredded beef. We also had 3 different kinds of Supli. My favorite was the Gricia but my husband liked the Traditional. Make friends with the big guy behind the bar. He is so amazing and has so much information. Stay long enough and he will get you something that is not on the menu. More importantly, be open minded and try everything. You will not be sorry.

Such a great, delicious idea at a reasonable price. We got the eggplant parmesan, tongue and "green sauce", zucchini burrata and meatball. All were tasty and different, it's hard to pick a favorite. The meatball was definitely the most conventional, and I loved the way the zucchini was marinated. The "green sauce", which was kind of like a pesto, was also super flavorful. There were several others as well as suppli that I'd like to try. I will definitely eat at a Trapizzino again when I'm back in Rome!

Fantastic food and service. Nice change from the standard pizza fare. Great location.

Great service, lively environment and all in all great food. Truly a unique place that offers a taste of Italy with a unique twist. First night in Italy (of 5 nights) and I will be back! Had to leave this review while I'm still at my table because I just have to tell people to come here. For tourists it can be a little overwhelming but sit in the side dining room and eat to your hearts content. Buenísimo!

Trapizzino is the perfect blend between pizza and a hot plated meal, and the best part is that it's perfect on the go and is priced extremely reasonably! If you need some flavor inspiration, the pollo alla cacciatore is DYNAMITE! Seriously, the food is YUMazing. Don't think about it, just go!

I had a local guide take me here and we got the mushroom and cheese pizza. SO GOOD... made me never want to eat pizza in America again.! The cheese was excellent and retained its softness without becoming rubbery even as I ate it slowly. The mushrooms were sooo delicious, tasted unrealistically clean and organic. The shop workers were younger guys and seemed to understand English pretty well also, which was a plus. We also had the supli which was okay. Not memorable, a bit too room temperature for my taste.

Original Romanian kitchen with plain interiors but amazing food. Pasta, meat, fish, carciofi etc. etc.

This is delicious food, fast, and cheap. I got the meatball with marinara, and had only intended it to be a snack - it was so filling and delicious that it quickly became dinner! It's a totally unique snack, and so inexpensive!

We wandered into Trastevere during our time in Rome. We came across several piazzas and this particular one was really nice. It was quiet and clean and you had the opportunity to people watch here. Other than the steps/fountain there wasn't much for picture taking. The bridge is directly in front of the piazza that will connect you back into the main part of Rome. No restrooms and no drinking fountains at this piazza. A few shops and restaurants available with reasonable pricing.

I love this place. Pollo alla cacciatora is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any flavor to be honest. Can't beat the price too. Can't wait to go back.
