My friend and I just wrapped up dinner at a local tasting menu spot and we were ready to eat! I had done some advance research and knew I wanted to try Trapizzino. We walked in and lucked into two seats at their bar counter. The gentleman working behind the counter was great! Very proud of their food and ready to point us in the right direction. I knew from looking at Yelp that I wanted a bitter greens Trapizzino and he recommended we add the ox tail Trapizzino. We rounded it out with the chickpea and green olives salad. The chickpea and green olive salad landed first and it was delicious! So vibrant! A bit of a briny kick from capers and a subtle creaminess from an olive oil based dressing. A great start. The Trapizzinos arrived and we shared both. Not the easiest to cut and once we tried them, we realized that we could have done two of our own. That's because they were so damn tasty! The mixed bitter greens delivered in the flavor department. The ox tail ragu was also bringing the flavor and had lovely texture. After seven courses at a nearby Michelin starred restaurant, Trapizzino provided us our best bites of the evening! Well worth a return! read more

We have been to Trapizzino several times and have always enjoyed our experience. The service is fast and attentive and has a super cute modern Italian interior. We always order the trapizzini. They are all good, but the eggplant one is my favorite by far. I have also ordered the cacio e Pepe here, but it is a little too peppery imo. I cannot wait to come back sometime to try the olive oil cake! read more

I first heard about Trapizzino when my parents came home from Rome and told me about the delicious triangle pizza pocket they had eaten during their vacation. The NYC location is cozy and conveniently located on 114 Orchard Street. I've gone a few times and have been satisfied each time. I love grabbing a hot trapizzini to go on a cold winter day. On the flip side, I also enjoy sitting outside on a hot summer day while I sip one of their wonderful cocktails. The service is always great with friendly waitstaff. read more

Came here on Sunday night for dinner and it was a super solid spot! The inside was on the smaller end, so would definitely recommend reservations beforehand. Our waitress was super nice! It wasn't super busy on Sunday, but I can imagine it getting pretty busy on Friday or Saturday. We were seated towards the pack so had a little more privacy. The food: We shared some cacio e pepe suppli balls and the whipped ricotta. The supplies balls were very big, but when we ate them it was a bit on the drier side. It would've been helpful to have a side of marinara sauce. One of the group members wasn't vegetarian and had the classic and said it was good, so maybe the red sauce ones are better. The whipped ricotta was solid, but didn't have a ton of flavor except for the cheese. The focaccia bread was delightful though!! The winner of the night were the trapizzinos. Most of us got the eggplant ones and loved them. We tried the Burrata/zucchini too -- it was solid, but served cold, so we preferred the eggplant. Using the extra ricotta we had was game changer. Our friend got an oxtail one and said it was great. For dessert we got the olive oil cake and tiramisu. Olive oil cake was light and refreshing and the cream on the side was tasty. The tiramisu seemed to be drowned in coffee and not the best. Overall the main meal was great (which usually doesn't happen), but we thought the appetizers could be a bit better. read more

We were able to get seated pretty quickly when my friend and I got here on a cloudy Saturday afternoon. We had the choice to sit inside which looked nice and cozy or outside on the street with some cover. We chose outside. After eating so much food to go, it's nice to finally be able to have a sit down meal. We just got the food in the pic, but it was the perfect amount of food for us without being too stuffed. The meatball tasted lean with some freshness from the Basil and the right amount of tomato sauce. The oxtail was unique as I've never tried it with this type of bread before. The flavors veered on the subtle side. Overall we left satisfied. read more

Really enjoyed this, will be visiting more often! I came on a weekday night so I'm not sure if it's more crowded on weekends, but I was happily seated right away. I felt the waiter and staff were very attentive and food came very quickly I was about to rate this 4/5 cause the burrata with anchovies while it served hot and tasted good, I thought it was just a tad too fishy for me. But then I tried the oxtail and I was totally blown away! Not only was it served hot and soft but the oxtail filling took me back to a home cooked meal. This is definitely the special to try should you visit! Inside was very cute and felt transported to an Italian rest stop in Italy. I wasn't seated there but I saw booths and bar seating for those curious read more

Trapizzino is absolutely amazing and I would definitely return again. The arancini is fantastic depending on which one you get- the cacio e pepe was a bit too dry for my liking but the leeks one was moist and absolutely fantastic. The trapizzini itself is obviously a must- I got the oxtail and the anchovies + burrata one. While the oxtail is fantastic and deserves all the praise it gets, the anchovies + burrata one is unique and stood out to me. Definitely try this place if you haven't already! read more

Nice place with good food for reasonable prices, but also the portion was a lot smaller than I expected considering the price. They're known for their local Roman "on the go" eats, but in a sit down setting. Trappizzinos (stuffed focaccia) and supplis (similar to arancinis ) their staples. Trappizzinos: Oxtail: this came highly recommended. I expected to be blown out of my mind because of how many people have raved about it. Alas. No. It's good, but not mind blowing abs an okay size for $8. Eggplant: my friend liked this, $8 Suppli: $4 each or 3 for $11 Cacio e pepe: woah. I know it's fried and cheesy, but wow was this heavy in a oooof too much I feel gross after eating type of way Seasonal special: leek and taleggio. Good! Leek flavor is very mild, hardly existent. Liked this much better than the Cacio. read more

Wow. Roman street food in a sit-down setting? Count me in. We tried the two vegetarian trapizzinis - the zucchine alla scapece and the parmigiana di melanzane - both were exquisite. The bread was soft on the inside, crisp on the outside... absolute perfection. The flavors that were packed into this pocket were heavenly. The burrata in the zucchini trapizzini was creamy and delicious and you cannot go wrong with the eggplant and parm combination. We had these with a side of the suppli, which was delish. Slightly disappointed that we didn't order seconds lol. The service was great - our waiter was so patient with us and allowed us to enjoy our drinks leisurely. They threw in complimentary limoncello shots at the end of our meal - the real deal. Amazing experience here, 10/10 recommend! read more

Stopped by this Lower East Side corner gem the other night and was very impressed. The inside is clean and cute with a partially open kitchen and huge windows, great for people-watching. The food -- especially their kale caesar salad, chicken trapizzini, and olive oil cake -- is delicious and came out quickly. On top of that, our server Henry was incredibly friendly, attentive, and had plenty of menu suggestions for us -- we really enjoyed chatting with him! I will definitely be coming back here with friends, it's all around a great time. read more

What a Vibe with amazing flavorful food We ordered 2 appetizers, the artichokes and broccolini. Both were packed with flavor and would highly recommend. We ordered 3 different Trapazzinos, my personal favorite was the Chicken Cacciatore and 2nd place goes to the oxtail option Definitely a must try. Staff was excellent! read more

Food was tasty and creative. But they make a little look like a lot! Pretty pricey when you realize it was mostly bread and rice! Drinks were unique and good. Still a pleasant experience if you don't mind being overcharged. read more

My second time here. I normally don't write reviews, but this place deserves it. New to drinking negronis and so far they have the best one I have ever tried. Killer pizzas and sandwiches. The Carciofi Alla Giudia and the Cacio e Pepe Suppli were delicious too. read more

One word - wow! My family and I dined here and had a great experience. The food and drinks were good, but the service was out of this world. Our waiter Henry was fantastic, accommodating, attentive, gave great recommendations and had the best vibe ever (+he was cute! ... don't tell my husband). We will definitely be back the next time we come to the city! read more

Absolutely delicious food and great & attentive service. I am still trying to remember when I had such fantastic pesto! Crazy delicious!! Everything we tried was very tasty and the service was really good. The only disappointment was an IPA on the menu that was not available but I can give it a pass because everything else was exceptional. Truly a memorable experience and will come back when I return to NY. read more

I came here on a Saturday night and it was packed, so there seems to be an allure to this place that I didn't fully understand Food: the trapizzini seemed like the food to get given the name! I ordered the POLLO ALLA CACCIATORA. It was really hard to eat which made the experience less enjoyable. It was also heavily smothered in oil, which made it heavy in not a great way. It was also way smaller than what I was expecting, so you definitely need to get more food! Service: we had a reservation here but they did not have our table ready and took a really long time to take our order. Price: fair prices Ambience: a nice small intimate space read more

Ahh the best experience for hosting an intimate birthday dinner! I made a reservation for 6 on a Saturday night and arrived early. The staff accommodated me and had my table already set up. We got the oxtail, zucchini, chicken, and eggplant Trapizzino. Highly recommend the oxtail. Each one was delicious though. We also ordered both kinds of suppli which are equally yummy, very crunchy. The only thing I wish was that the servings were bigger, I would literally eat a bowl of the filling if I could. The staff was very nice and checked on us frequently throughout our meal. They even helped us light the cupcakes. Definitely coming back for more trapizzino read more

One Sunday, we were waiting for a shop to open and wandering around the area. Trapizzino caught our eye as it was fairly empty and the menu looked interesting as you can always tempt me with a hot pocket. Going in without any expectations was probably a good thing as we had no idea how good they were nor how great the service was. I had the meatball one and wow the meatball was amazing. Hard to eat while holding it so I ended up using the fork as didn't want to risk it dropping it. Unique selection of Italian digestives and liked you could order it neat, on the rocks, as a spritz, etc. But the chef's kiss perfection is the playlist! The music just made us happy and made our day. read more

We stopped in for drinks and an app, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, but what really stood out was the staff.

I was craving noodles and decided to give Trapizzino a try. The artichokes were delicious but I wish there was one more. I ordered the cacio e pepe which was okay, definitely missing that umph factor. The rigatoni ragu had the same issue. I was still hungry after the meal which blows considering the price, so I had to find another restaurant afterwards. read more

Food was solid but the restaurant tries to scam you. Be careful! We ordered the Trapizzino+salad combo and they tried to charge us extra for it (which I caught) and the tip percentage calculations are intentionally wrong. For a $54 bill it suggested 20%, 22%, and 25%, but the calculation for 20% tip was $20.50 which is almost 50%!!!! Make sure you keep an eye out for this so that they don't scam you. read more

The eggplant Parmesan Trapizzino is amazing! The oxtail was a disappointment. 9 hour cooking might be too much and it needed melted provolone cheese or something to break up the beef mush. But I'll definitely go back for the eggplant!!! read more

Heard a lot about this place since it makes unique sandwiches. The braised oxtail sandwich was delicious minus the small bone that I almost broke my tooth on. Other than that it was a delicious sandwich. The bread was the star of the show. It was a cross between pizza dough and a roll. So good. I want to try the other sandwiches when I come back. Cool spot. read more

Was in the neighborhood shopping and wanted to stop by somewhere for an aperol spritz. While this place doesn't have aperol spritz, they have other spritz options that are equally as good. We also had the marinated mushroom, oxtail pizza pocket, and meatball pizza pocket. They were both so creamy and flavorful. Definitely should try. It wasn't too busy so we were able to stay and relax for a while. However, there's no ac in the establishment, just air flowing through the multiple doors that are open. Our server was very nice and service was great. read more

Trapizzino - Pizza pocket oxtail and meatball - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Prior to eating here, I'd never tried trapizzini or suppli before. The latter is essentially the Sicilian arancini's Roman cousin. For trapizzini, we got the Coda alla Vaccinara (braised oxtail, red wine, and tomato) and Doppia Panna (stracciatella di burrata with Sicilian anchovies). Each trapizzino arrived as a hot, crispy, stuffed-to-the-brim dough pocket. The oxtail ragu was stewed down and incredibly flavorful. The burrata was more runny than expected and kept spilling out, but it was very creamy and tasty. The anchovies added a nice pop of briny, salty flavor. Check in on Yelp and get a free suppli of your choice, as long as you order a minimum of two trapizzini for the table. For suppli, we got the Classico (beef ragu and mozzarella) and the Tortellino special (mortadella, prosciutto, and Grana Padano). I liked the Classico more, but overall I think they're a little too fried and oily for me. The inside is certainly tasty with that string of gooey melted cheese though. read more

So now that they've lifted the curse of the BAMBINO And now that DeNiro's been in a scene with PACINO And now that Jimmy Fallacy has replaced Jay LENO He'll Fallon his sword like U2 with Brian ENO And now that Vegas is 10 times bigger than RENO And now the puppet Trump made the nation his CASINO And now the system's broken down like drowning in AMINO And now that all his voters are phobic of XENO And now that we're divided into Black, White, LATINO And now that I will never date Mira SORVINO And now that I've been robbed in Barcelona and TORINO And now that Habanero is hotter than JALAPENO And now that I've been declared honorary FILIPINO And now I've been declared as the master of VAGINO And your boyfriend is officially smaller than SAN MARINO And has scored as many times as Superbowls for DAN MARINO And now we're in Manhattan, I insist that you and ME GO For the best Roman Street Food... TRAPIZZINO! WHAT? One of my absolute favorite places to eat in New York City. I was sent here by Yael, and on the good side of things, she picked yet another place which ended up being one of the best things I've ever eaten in NYC (which means it's one of the best things anywhere), so a massive thank you to her (hugs). On the negative side, it is painful to see her (and others) give less than five stars to an under-$10 snack which is unique, mindblowing, delicious, authentic, sold nowhere else on the East Coast (basically), and actually legimitately better than the ones in Roma (although it's been awhile). If this place can't get a five, what can? I think humans in general are farrr too harsh with their ratings/reviews of little family places. If you love something, give it a 5. They filmed a few movies here, such as "The Parent Trapizzino", and also it's a favourite of circus performers and Trapeze-ino artists everywhere. So Trapizzino, which sells Roman snacks and crostini, is one of Manhattan's best hidden gems despite being in a really trendy area down hear Alphabet City, and their Chicken Cacciatore is otherworldly and delicious right down to the last bite. Yes it's way too small (the little Roman street sandwich), but if you just want a little snack to share, this is what you have to get. Of course it's small, why do you think half of all Italians in Italy are slender AF. Eminem actually used to come here too, back when he was a "Trap God", apparently he used to do "Trap Battles" here under the name White Rabbit. These things are so good and the highly commendable employees actually match the taste of them with some of the nicest service in New York City, legitimately one of the best experiences I had service-wise in all of Manhattan, not just once, but both times I came here - by myself and with Barbie - despite the fact that both times I regrettably came in here close to closing. There was no problem with ordering late whatsoever. I told him that I can't wait to try them in Roma again now that I've had the NYC version, but I wouldn't be surprised if this spot makes them better than Roma, and the wonderful server assured me that they are little bit better than the ones in Roma, and I won't be surprised if I find out he's right. I'll toss one of these to you next time I see you, so be prepared, be ready to Cacciatore it, I don't want it going all over you. If you only eat a handful of things in Manhattan, this Chicken Cacciatore Crostini thing needs to be one of the handful. Trust Daddy. And I know Fetty Wap's ex used to come here a lot, no wonder she's known as a Trapizzino Queen. read more

I'll be honest, I here after a mediocre food experience nearby when we just wanted a drink and something to snack on and I could not have been HAPPIER with this find. Trapizzino is a small but super cute and well decorated spot with a menu that in my opinion encourages you to try lots of things. The prices are very fair, and allow a group to do a mix of starters and then get their own trapizzini (filled homemade bread pocket) and not go overboard with spending. Their cocktails were delicious too, I highly recommend the bicicletta which was light and refreshing. Dessert was also delicious and service was great. I will absolutely be back to try more!! read more

This is going to be a repeat spot for me. The restaurant is really charming, on a corner street in the LES, and the food is just as good as the ambience. I got the kale salad, and eggplant trapizzino and my friend got the stewed oxtail trapizzino. Everything was really savory and satisfying. The kale salad was really creamy and crunchy, yet light. It was a nice contrast to the warm saucey trapizzino. They have great meat and vegetarian options, and I personally think the perfect lunch is sharing a salad and getting one trapizzino for yourself. I can't wait to come back and try more trapizzino flavors! It doesn't hurt that each trapizzino is $8.50 either! read more

I went to Trapizzino at 144 Orchard Street, NY for the first time and I loved the experience. First, the drinks were tasty and the dough-like bread cones were filled with tasty fillings.
