When two different people, from two different social media sites tell you to go here, you go! My husband (ahh!) and I were rounding out our Italian Honeymoon when we finally made it here. At this point, we had been eating lots of pizza, pasta, and sandwiches for the last two weeks, but I guess we just couldn't stop! Thankfully, their food is a bit different from traditional Italian restaurants. It was the little break from the norm we needed to round out our culinary adventure. Let me start with the beer. Being from California, we desperately missed our beloved breweries. Not a one in sight in Italy, until Bir & Fud. Finally! A location, at last, that had a beer other than Peroni and Nastro Azzurra. We marveled at the beer list! Beers of all types from all over Italy, it was truly heaven. We settled on a Saison and an IPA, delicious. Now we get to say we had an IPA brewed in the hills of Milan! Next, we split the cod fritter to start. It was mixed with fresh fish and potato and fried to perfection, yet it remained light and wasn't greasy. We split their pizza that had a lot of roasted chilies, unfortunately I can't remember the name. It was just the right amount of spicy and rich with just slightly toasted mozzarella. I'll let you in on a little secret shame: we were full yet so in love with the atmosphere and food that we ordered another pizza. Yes, another one! We split the classic Margarita pizza. We didn't finish it, though. So I guess we aren't that gluttonous. The pizza wasn't the best, but we honestly went for the atmosphere change and beer. Moral of the story: we didn't want to leave and probably stayed way too long. But, it was the perfect way to round out a once in a life time trip. read more

Bir & Fud seemed like a really great local hang-out spot. We stopped here after spending a couple hours in Ma Che across the street. When you walk in, you're faced with a long bar and countless taps. It reminded me of places we have at home in Philly. I found it somewhat difficult to order because they have their beers listed in chalk and spread out behind the bar. I looked at the ones closest to me and then double-checked them on Untappd before ordering. For my beer, I had the Vlaam by Birra Mastino. While it wasn't bad, it was high in acidity, which made it hard to finish such a big glass. I would've preferred the option to do a flight here, especially since they offer such a large variety and I'm not the biggest fan of getting drunk. After a bit of time at the bar, my friend and I migrated to a table in the back. It's a nice area -- very open -- so you have some space to enjoy yourself. Since we weren't exceptionally hungry, we ordered a basic pizza and split it. While I didn't find the pizza to be mesmerizing, it was pretty good. Splitting it was perfect. Service was friendly; their bathroom was clean. Overall a nice place for craft beer hunters. read more

Not much to say about Bir & Fud, but I am definitely a fan! Upon entry, you see a very long, narrow space that is pretty much occupied with the bar and towards the back, there's plenty room to sit at a table. I really loved the huge selection of beer they had, and was equally impressed with the names. For food, me and my boyfriend got two separate pizzas and we really enjoyed them! It definitely wasn't the best pizza I've had in Rome, but it was still really good. I really loved the atmosphere and I bet on busy days it can get pretty wild. All in all, I enjoyed this place and I'd definitely return especially since they're open late and I'm always in the mood for beer. read more

Bir & Fud - "Brain Damage IPA" lol - Pizza Near Me - Rome, RM

Very cool spot, I highly recommend a visit if you are a tourist, exchange student, expat or just have not gotten a chance to get exposure to a lot of Italian and European craft beer. I like to think that living in Marin county and the bay area, I'm a bit spoiled with many many great microbrew/craft beer options. Some of the biggest names on the west coasts have tasting rooms, or physical locations very near where I live. However, we have had very little exposure to European and Italian makers in the same vein. Enter establishments like Bir & Fud to save the day. Even if you are not familiar with all the makes and names of the beer on tap, the knowledgeable bartenders will help you out with tastings and advice. These days, tourism for me basically equates to walking around all day looking at stuff. It's a given that my feet and legs feel like they are about to fall off at the end of such activities. So it is quite the reprieve to sit at the bar like Bir & Fud and knock back a couple delicious brews before calling it a day. Go here and try a beer you haven't had before. You can thank me later. read more

Who would have thought that I came to Italy and Drank more beer than wine? The craft beer movement in Italy is most evident at Bir & Fud. After enjoying a Pizza around the corner at Dar Poeta we came here to sample their beer. The selection is vast and they have 4-5 Cask Ales as well. Beer here is 5 euro a glass. I tried the Cask Ale and then had a Belgium both excellent. We returned the following day and had the burger, another first for me in Italy. It was delicious. Bir & Fud is beautifully decorated inside, has an attractive bar area and outdoor seating as well. We opted to sit at the bar both times because I wanted to be as close to the beer as possible...... read more

We wandered across Rome to find this joint - a guy on leave from a base up in northern Italy that we ran into at another restaurant told us that we had to come eat here. It's down a little cobbled street surrounded by buildings and honestly is what I imagined when I pictured a Roman restaurant, much more so than the more metropolitan areas closer to the Coliseum where we stayed. We had a couple of beers, some bruschetta, and pizza. I'm not sure if it was the miles of walking or not but it was all delicious. We sat on the tiny patio and watched the locals and the tourists pass us by. It was April in Italy and we could have sat there all day, but there was lots more to see so eventually we peeled ourself off the wooden seats and wandered off into the city to see what other adventures we could find. read more

If my entire trip to Rome lasted one hour and then I had to fly back, I would spend all of it at this restaurant. You don't need to visit Naples to taste authentic Neapolitan pizza. The place is a gem shown to me by a local, which says something. Tucked nicely into Trastevere, you'll probably already be in the area and should make the stop. An inconspicuous facade, from my experience in Italy, generally means good things. If pizza isn't your thing, and maybe it would be if you tried it here, then perhaps come to sample some of there excellent craft beers. I sampled the smoked schlenkerla urbock. It was one of the most unique and tasty I've ever had. Definitely smoked. I could go on and on, but forget the hype and just come see for yourself. read more

I first went to this bar about 5 years ago and loved the craft beer selection. Last night I went back with my son to celebrate a scholastic achievement and had dinner. The whole premise is that great primary ingredients make excellent food and drink. The beers which range from local to very specialized imports are the freshest and most delicious beer I have had anywhere. Manuele Colonna the owner is dedicated to searching for the best artisanal beer and the finest ingredients for his food. The dishes are classic Roman pizzeria fare but made with the freshest ingredients and perfectly executed. Don't miss this great place anytime you are in Rome! read more

Great pizza, not easy to find since it is tucked in on the side of bigger restaurants. They have an enormous beer selection. The best pizza we've had in Rome. We had extra garlic on each and added a little spicy flavor. read more

Our first stop in Rome, we were greeted with a huge selection of craft beers and a tempting menu. We walked over the Ponte Sisto bridge into the Trastevere district and stopped in Bir and Fud. It looks small from the outside by stretches back quite a bit. We walked by the bar with all of the beers on tap and into the back dining area, which looked modern. More like something you would see in a trendy spot in the States rather than Ancient Rome. Our pizza came out fairly quickly. Just a note, my girlfriend and I both ordered our own pizza, but they are certainly big enough to split amongst two people. We ended up taking away nearly an entire pizza between our two. The pizza was very good. The crust was light and crisp and the ingredients were very fresh. I went with a tomato, basil, buffalo mozzarella pizza. Definitely a cool place to check out. If you're from the States, you'll likely feel right at home here. read more

Our fantastic tour guide at the Colosseum highly recommended this place and we were not disappointed! We arrived at around 7pm and were told that we could be seated immediately if we were willing to be done at around 9pm because of previous reservations - we were happy to accommodate! The menu was easy to understand and had loads of fantastic choices, but I knew what I wanted as soon as I saw a master pizza maker loading amazing-looking pizzas into a wood-fired oven. We started with some of their homemade potato chips with homemade ketchup while we had our drinks. The waiter was patient and helpful while recommending some local ciders and beers. And then our glorious pizzas arrived. I ordered the Scarolone - Mozzarella cheese, raw endive, olives, capers, anchovies, and my kids ordered the Double Margherita - Tomato, mozzarella cheese, basil, fresh buffalo mozzarella. I have to admit, I was a little jealous when I saw the mouth-watering cheesiness of their double margheritas, but mine was equally as tasty! I would heartily recommend Bir & Fud for their ambiance, their craft beer selection, their friendliness, and the neighborhood. read more

Excellent pizza in a city filled with very good pizza. Lack of a wine menu threw us off, but the outstanding beers on tap quickly got us back on track. Don't let the pub look fool you.

Beer selection-wise, Bir might be the best in town. Over 20 options and plenty of IPA that rival American. Tons of Italian and local brews as well as some more international and European varieties as well. Sampling is welcome here and bartenders are smart and ready to help. Food wasn't the best, however. We ordered a calzone that was more of a folded pizza and was soft and more of beer food to help coat the alcohol feel rather than experience a good meal. Beer is great and rivals the next door neighbor known for their beer bar. Bir is a great addition to any beer journey in Rome. But the food might be better experienced elsewhere. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go to this restaurant / bar on our first afternoon in Rome after arriving at our hotel near the Ponte Sisto - the oldest bridge in Rome! This restaurant is located in the Trastevere area, which is packed with great places to eat and drink. Bir & Fud has an excellent menu of beers on tap, along with outstanding choices of Roman and Italian dishes. They have English menus too, which was nice. We ordered a few pale ales and the chips with vanilla ketchup to start. Let me tell you, you don't need chips if you're getting pizza. We could barely finish them! (But they were delicious!) For pizza, we got the standard tomato, mozzarella and basil, and then the interesting sausage and potato. Just incredible, honestly the best pizza in Italy so far, and we have visited Venice and Florence too! read more

Rome is a city of religious iconography more than it is of intellectual elitism, and it's why I love Rome, for its unpretentious fare, for Romans are those that know how to live the most. I'm afraid to say, I wish I were Italian for more than the Roman nose, which strongly resembles my Mediterranean one. For being composed of olive skin, as a product of what one eats... the western equivalent of stuffed grape leaves is perhaps a rice ball fried, something one would find at Bir & Fud. As an art student, I kissed many girls right outside Bir & Fud, and on the steps near the Ponte Sisto. One being Chantal, a tanned Russian with blue eyes. Fun gal. Not jaded and still trusting. I'd confess many things to her, perhaps too many things, like I wished I could be fairer skinned, taller... giving away my insecurities like logoed pens. Another girl I shared a bir with was Arianna, and we all know where that led... into the Roman clouds only to nose dive into the tar pits of LA... our time at Bir & Fud is what counts, after all. The Ponte Sisto, its streak of moonlight. The crowded red bus that whisked us home, Arianna clenching my waist. The restaurant was fresh then, not yet renovated and resembling a family joint. I perhaps romanticize the original layout, the sprawl and openness, the narrow waiting area, many Roman noses in snifters. The few Tuscan beer options. When I returned, it became industrial, similar aesthetics born in DTLA... I spoke to the owner once and, he a Californian expat. How appropriate. From Orange County. Nice guy. I'm not sure who owns now, but there's more bir. A bigger menu, a revamped bar near the entrance. Three years ago, I visited. Thought about Arianna and the Russian. Thought about the Eucharist, Mary's blue cloak on every painting, and how I wanted to drape Arianna with lapis lazuli, her drinking from a stein. Bir & Fud, a place that serves beer and food, I famously joked in my first painting that few saw. Yes: text on canvas... In Rome, I yearned to be Raphael and ended up returning home to mimic Baldessari. How sad and irrelevant. I burned that painting. I can only hope that no one remembers it. However, Bir & Fud is something etched in me, their simple pizzas. Their once small menu. Tiny Arianna glowing from lamplight, a figment of my dreams personified in a hip café. read more

Bir & Fud is a quaint little craft beer bar / restaurant in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome. We ate dinner there on a Wednesday around 6:30pm so it wasn't crowded at all. Main restaurant seating is in the back ... handful of tables outside, which seem always occupied (but for good reason - great people watching). Front of the restaurant is a long narrow space which is where the bar is located). Bir & Fud has a very solid tap selection ... definitely one of the better ones in Rome. Food was average ... wasn't really wow'd by anything we had. Service was solid ... prices were fair leaning to a bit high. There's wifi so that's always a plus for the kids. Mostly locals here, which is a good thing. Pro Tip - if you go to Bir & Fud, make sure you visit my favorite craft beer bar in Rome, Ma Che, which is located directly across the street. read more

Bir & Fud - Stemmed glassware is always a PLUS! - Pizza Near Me - Rome, RM

I was actually surprised by Bir & Fud. It's a hipster-type restaurant with a cheeky name in the middle of the oldest part of Rome -- the Trastevere. I assume the name is meant to attract tourists, and it definitely worked. Bir & Fud has a pretty large selection of pizzas and beers. I ordered a pizza with potatoes, sausage, and rosemary. The potatoes were super fluffy and buttery; it was like biting into a cloud. It was good, but not great. And, same goes for the beer. If you want a modern, clean restaurant (with clean restrooms) and good food, come to Bir & Fud. If you want authentic Italian dishes, go elsewhere. read more

So it's officially been a year since I've been thinking about this pizza. Me and my fiancé still talk about it. Seriously, we hated Italy. I know, it's hard to imagine, but you run into the same issues as France where it's all about traditional stuff unless you can foot the bill for the experimental upscale craft. I'm so glad we stopped in; we were pretty burned out on garbage around the tourist areas, and we had definitely been to at least 7 pizzerias already before going here. It was our last night in Rome and we wandered over to Trastevere. We had read good things about this place but I wasn't prepared for how familiar but new it would be. There was a fair amount of English with the trendy bar staff. I had a tomato beer (by recommendation of the bartender) and it was different and acidic and not like anything I had ever had. Bless 'em! Y'all, the Trifolata changed my life. I don't want to ruin it by explaining it, but it is an experience. Also I just need to say how glad I was to go into a bar where the bar was full of beer and not espresso. No shade at coffee, but it was nice to sit on a bar stool again and eat and drink and not stand and sip coffee and try and eat a pastry without bumping into someone. A must visit if you are in the area, a true gift from the beer and pizza gods. read more

This is a great little find. (And I mean little - seating for only 12 outside, more inside.) No wine, only beer. But a good selection of Italian beers. Nice menu. The best item we had was a "wet bread" dish. The crusty, thin wet bread was piled high with slices of fresh cherry tomatoes. These were doused in a heavy coat of olive oil and oregano. Absolutely delicious. The fact cherry tomatoes are in season no doubt was a key part of the tastiness. read more

After two weeks in Bologna and Florence, we arrived in Rome and stopped into Bir & Fud for a quick dinner--no expectations. We pulled up a couple of seats at the bar, and I ordered an Italian amber from the extensive beer menu as well as some food. The margherita pizza was solid (a pretty classic version), but it was our other dishes that blew me away. The panzanella wasn't traditional--it was a beautiful creamy tomato soup with mozzarella, anchovies and a basket of crusty bread. The plate of seasonal vegetables included crispy cucumber, stewed green beans with tomato sauce, and a dish that reminded me of Greek horta. So many great flavors in these two dishes. I definitely plan to return before we leave Rome next week! read more

To this day, after 650+ craft beer focused places reviewed, Bir&Fud sits at my #2 spot of all-time world craft beer venues. It is strangely similar to my local haunt in Washinton DC, Pizzeria Paradiso in Washington DC, only their version puts ours to shame. The prices are always 5 Euro for drafts, which rotate very quickly. The beer pours are always stellar. I think one out of fifteen beers I tried there did not have an absolutely perfect appearance. These bartenders are trained so well to pour the beers. Bartenders were also very knowledgeable about the beers: what style they fall under, what notes to expect. Their recommendations were all spot on. Many flat out told me, "This beer sucks. Here, try this one instead." Bir&Fud shares a vintage bottle list cellar with Ma Che Siete, which is one of the most impressive in the world. Food herewas fabulous: very well prepared, well presented, quick, delicious. Atmosphere was crowded, loud, fun, beer oriented, group oriented. Why can't every place be like Bir&Fud. read more

This is a five star place just on the fact of beer and all the selections they have. Had about 4 beers and 9 other taste of beer and this place is one of the better beer places I have ever been to. Didn't have any food here, but I heard great things about it especially the pizza. They also have free wifi in Rome, which is a must to our tourist. So overall a great place to come and drink beer. read more

This place is in the trendy Trastevere neighborhood and can get really busy later in the evening. So come early or make a reservation! We came for an early dinner when the place was largely empty. We were seated in the back room, which looked like a sunroom with plants outside. Cool vibe! Beer is around 6 euro/glass. A bit pricey considering the beer came in the size of a small wine glass, and alcohol was generally very cheap in Roma. But you will probably end up getting 2+ beers as the craft beer was really good and you may want to try a couple! Our waitress was friendly and recommended two sweeter Belgian beers for us. We loved them! We got a Napoli pizza with tomatoes and anchovies. The anchovies were intensely salty, as I should have expected. The pizza was fresh and filling, like all good pizzas we had in Italy. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing place. Worth the hype. read more

Somehow I got the impression that Bir & Fud had a massive selection of beer. Thats actually not the case. I live in Copenhagen, and Danes are known for producing and drinking quite a lot of beer. We have every size of brewery from micro breweries to Carlsberg.... so we are used to selecting from long lists if we go to beer bars. Its no secret that Italy is more of a wine country, so maybe its weird to go for a beer in Rome. But we heard good things about this place and the selection here - so we had to check it out! We arrived at 6 pm for beer and early dinner. Except that when we tried to order pizza they told us that this was not available until later. Fair enough - we all had a burger instead. And while eating our quite average (borderline boring) burgers the staff had their dinner by the table next to ours. They all had pizza...that felt a bit weird. So: The oven was on, the dough was ready, pizza was being made - but no-no - no way we could order the damn thing! Thats just poor judgement by Bir & Fud in my book. But lets go back to the beer. Did we find our new favourite beers? Maybe not. But we tried a couple that were really nice. What I dont understand is why they didn't offer us tastings of the ones we asked about. Maybe its just not customary to taste before you buy here, but other places in Rome we have been asked if we wanted to taste before buying, especially when asking for description of the taste. But not here. So we made our decision based on the quite inadequate description from the waitress. Unfortunately one of the beers was sent back cause none of us liked it. Thats a shame - wasting both money and beer. Looking at the bill afterwards we realized that we even paid for 1 more beer than we ordered (and of course for the one we didn't like). Could be a honest mistake, but it always makes you wonder right... All in all... I'm not impressed. read more

Ok so we came here wondering whether it made sense to drink beer while in Italy. But after two weeks of Chianti we needed a change of pace. So glad we did.

I really enjoyed Bir & Fud! My friend and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was busy we were able to get a spot at the bar fairly quickly and our food came out fast as well. We both got pizzas, which were a bit on the greasy side for my liking, but the crust was really good. One of the pizzas (we split them) had potatoes on it and the other was a basically a margherita with anchovies. I got the hoppy cat, a black IPA and a dark beer that the bartender suggested would go well with the tiramisu we got (it did). My friend got a spiced ale and a white IPA. All of the beers were the same price, which I thought was a good way to do it. The atmosphere of the place was really great- I liked the way it was decorated and the staff was really nice (especially since we do not speak Italian!). If I ever find myself in Rome I will definitely be back to this place. I would only recommend this place to people who really enjoy beer, because without that element, the menu is lacking somewhat. read more

GUYS, THOSE PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE YOUR MONEY. Now that capslock has catch your eye (at least that's what I hope for you), here is the detail: * The good: very large selection of beers, 30+ beers on tap, at average price (~€6 a pint). Oh, and they have free wifi. * The bad: absolutely no advice to help you choose among all those beers, some of them with exotic names that even the Internet doesn't know. More globally, no service whatsoever, except the zealous cashier. * The ugly: Worst pizza we had in Italy (€11-12). Ingredients were obviously super cheap (disgusting "prosciutto", and everything was super salty), violently scattered on the pizza (do not expect to share into 2 - impossible to make 2 halves containing at least one bit of all the ingredients), and we only got pork fat on one of our pizzas while ordering bacon. So if you are already there, just do not order food. Take a deep breath, finish your beer, and leave. read more
