My friends and I stumbled upon Trapizzino when we were staying in Rome and we loved it so much that we went there two nights in a row. The staff at Trapizzino was THE SWEETEST we experienced in Italy. The owner showered us with kind words and complimentary limoncello for dessert. The ambiance felt very welcoming and social and we felt like family there. At their other Rome location, we tried the classic suppli, which was crispy and flavorful. The main event we're these pizza pockets that seemed like boujee elevated hot pockets to us Americans. I indulged in the chicken cacciatore and the eggplant parmigiana. 10/10 on both flavors. My friends and I also enjoyed some spritz's with our food, which was much needed after the hot summer day we endured prior to finding the restaurant. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a sit down vibe, look no further than Trapizzino. The owner also let us know about the other locations, with one being in New York! The next time I'm in New York or Italy, I will definitely be making a stop at Trapizzino.
tl;dr the gimmicky, Hot Pocket-esque trapizzini are more fun in theory than practice While pizza al taglio is the standard in Rome, a close competitor in baked street eats is the trapizzino (a portmanteau of "pizza" and "tramezzino"). These triangle-shaped focaccia pockets are stuffed with Italian stews and served ice cream cone-style in a paper wrapper. The concept was pioneered by Roman pizzaiolo Stefano Callegari nearly two decades ago, and the popular brand has since expanded across Italy (and there even is an outpost in NYC). As such, I was keen on trying the trapizzino in the city where it all started. The Trastevere location makes it home on a narrow side street just off the Piazza Trilussa. A queue trails down the block from the takeout window, and the menu is marked directly onto the panes. Past the arched doorway, this location hosts a full bar with counter seating. Wine bottles and pizza-adjacent pictures hang on the otherwise whitewashed walls. Cigarette smoke swirls through the air, and the walls echo with live music from street performers nearby. I visited late on a weekday evening, and Trapizzino was still popping. I opted for the signature Pollo alla Cacciatore flavor, and I received my made-to-order food about 10 minutes after ordering. The tender chicken chunks were tossed in a wine-forward sauce, but the combined flavor reminded me more of chicken noodle soup than chicken cacciatore. The focaccia-esque crust was fully wrapped around the fillings, and the final bites ended up soggy. Each trapizzino retails for ~$5, and a hefty appetite could reasonably handle 2-3 of these moderately sized snacks. The trapizzino reminded me of an elevated, made-from-scratch Hot Pockets -- complete with many of the same drawbacks. Namely, the texture simply doesn't hold up as well as a sturdy slice of 'zza. As such, while the gimmick was worth a try, I don't anticipate any need to return in the future.
Tucked away in the charming streets of Trastevere, this spot turned out to be one of the culinary highlights of our trip to Italy. We started with the supplì, and they were absolutely spot-on -- crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey and flavorful inside, with that classic Roman balance of rice, cheese, and tomato. The mushroom and sausage dish was rich, earthy, and deeply satisfying comfort food with bold flavors. But the real surprise came in the form of the trapizzini. The meatball-stuffed trapizzino was a revelation crusty on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, and packed with juicy, tender meatballs. Even better was the pollo alla cacciatora trapizzino: savory, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned like a home-cooked meal tucked into a piece of bread. Service was warm, fast, and friendly a laid-back atmosphere that still felt attentive. To top it off, their Aperol Spritz was well needed after so much walking perfectly balanced and refreshing. Whether you're on a casual stroll through Trastevere or intentionally seeking out great Roman street food, this place should be on your list. Authentic, flavorful, and full of heart exactly what you want in a local dining experience.
Trapizzino in Trastevere is a fun, casual stop for elevated Roman street food. The trapizzini are flavorful, generously filled, & perfect for a quick bite while exploring the neighborhood. Informal, efficient, & 100% Roman.
Rome is full of tourist traps, this is NOT one of them. Trapizzino Trilussa lives up to the hype. It's a small little restaurant but the service and vibes were amazing. We got suppli (fried rice balls) to start and they were incredible. We got a few trapizzinos to share and they were delicious. When we got the bill it was very reasonable for the amount of food and drinks we got (~20€ per person). Definitely would visit again if I am ever back in Roma.
The pollo cacciatore trapizzino and supli were phenomenal. The chicken was tender and mouth watering with a nice seasoning to it. The bread was very crispy, and after combining it with the meat the dish had a perfect texture to it. Moreover, the supli was nicely fried and has a scrumptious filling inside of it. The items are good value at the prices.
What a cool fast food idea! Delicious meatball in an organic tomato sauce inbetween slices of focaccia bread
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!
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.
This was a fun, tasty little snack. I got the meatball one. The place had an overall cool vibe. I did see at another location. It was a little more active, but everyone here was nice. It was quick. It was hot and it was very flavorful. The sauce was to die for. I also had one of the rice ball stuff with cheese and meat and that was also good. I love that this one had a crunchy outside. Perfect for eating on the go
Great food with plenty of options to choose from. Each trapizizno costs 5 euros, and having two is enough to fill the average person. They offer plenty of different flavors as well. Our waiter was very hospitable, and indoor seating was cozy. They offer both indoor seating and takeaway, which is really convenient. Definitely recommend
First place I tried when I arrived in Rome. Ate here twice. Great drunk food to walk around and eat on the go.
Hands down the best arancini we've ever had! Perfectly crisp on the outside and moist, flavorful, and well balanced on the inside- unlike many places where they come out dry or fall apart. We were able to seat ourselves outside and our server was welcoming and helpful. The shaded area we were sitting in is right across from their indoor seating and a good people watching spot. We also tried the pizza pockets: one with meatballs and marinara, the other with chicken cacciatore. Both were piping hot, saucy, and packed with flavor. The sparkling wine flight was a refreshing choice on a warm day, and the flavored iced tea was a nice touch. A delicious and memorable meal all around.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more
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. read more

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! read more

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. read more
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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
**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. read more

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! read more

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! read more
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. read more

Al Fontanone is a must stop in Rome. Great food an service. The Cacio e Pepe is amazing. We have eaten here about 10 times. This is owned and run by two sisters and their husbands. Pino is one of those husbands and is the Italian grandpa you wish you had. He is one of the best human beings I have had the pleasure to know. Finish your night with a Limoncello that are made from the lemons from the family farm. I can not more highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back. read more
