When I arrived there was no line, so maybe I got lucky, just one couple in front of me already inside the shop. Take a number and wait your turn. It's worth it. Sandwiches are made on pizza bianca, a crisp and chewy flatbread native to Rome. They will fill your sandwich with whatever you like, and then weigh the sandwich to price it out. I got mortadella, stracciatella, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. The sandwich was phenomenal, so delicious and memorable that I recreated it when I got home to the US, bread and all. The sandwiches may seem simple but the ingredients are the best around which really takes things to the next level. Don't miss it if you're in Rome.

As soon as we sat down, the waitress asked us what we wanted and she came back three times in the span of five minutes so I definitely wish I had more time to breathe and look at the really large menu. I got the vegan sandwich and it actually blew my mind that it was vegan. The cuts of meat were so realistic and the vegan Parm also tasted so close to the original. Altogether, if you had just gave me the sandwich and I was eating it I wouldn't have even questioned that it was vegan. The sandwiches here are so delicious, I would definitely come back.

My wife and I went to her first soccer game in Rome, and the offerings at the stadium food-wise…read moreare...not great. Combined with the insane crowds trying to get on buses and we decided to instead walk to a nearby neighborhood and catch a quick dinner there first. We found this location of the popular Italian chain here and decided to give it a try. There was a small line from people at the game but it moved quickly. Also noteworthy is there is no seating inside this location, but there are enough tables and stuff outside. Trapizzino is known mainly for bread pockets filled with various fillings. You need to pay attention because when they run out of one flavor, they'll replace it with an entirely different flavor. Same goes for their suppli (fried rice ball) varieties. All the varieties sounded delicious, but we went with their cacio e pepe suppli, chicken cacciatore trapizzini, and burrata/anchovy trapizzini. They're a bit tricky to eat since they aren't shy with filling up the bread and forks are nowhere to be found. But man, what a great concept. The food is fairly cheap but the flavors are so varied and such high quality that you forget you're basically eating chain street food. I wish I had more room for food so I could try things like their Ethiopian stew or meatball or whatever else could come out of that kitchen. My chicken one was juicy, herbal, and the right amount of saucy. My wife's burrata was rich, but not too much, and the salty punches of the anchovies helped cut through it. Whether this location or one of the others scattered around Rome, Trapizzino is a great place to refuel after all the walking you'd be doing.

Checked this place out bc one of my friends recommended it…read more All in all I thought it was ok. Pretty much Roman sandwiches stuffed with stuff and it's pretty flavorful. Also tried their fried rice balls. It was good but personally not amazingly good. A lot of locals go here so it's not bad food... I think it's a good place to grab a quick bite to eat. There's only like 3 small table/stools inside and most people just eat it on the go. I think my review might be a little biased Bc my friends and I walked 30-40min to eat here. And we struggled and got lost along the way as well. So when we finally found this place and got to eat here it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. I don't think I'll ever go out of my way to come eat here again. If you're in the area and want to grab something quick to eat that's pretty good this place is your place. But I don't recommend coming here out of your way....

Pane e Salame, however, was delicious!!!! On our first day in Rome, my husband and I decided to search for a lunch spot nearby (we were staying near the Trevi fountain), and I found this place had pretty good reviews. We got there about an hour after it opened and requested a seat outdoors. They have a tiny patio across from their entrance, but they fit quite a bit of people in it! We initially wanted to order two sandwiches to try more items, but I'm glad we just shared one - they were big and filling! We also had the small charcuterie board to share which was plenty of food for us both. We shared a bottle of rose, and all in all, we paid under $50 (usd) - what a steal! This was the perfect first meal in Rome. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was great, and the outdoor seating allowed us to experience the streets of Rome. 10/10 - would absolutely go back.

Our sandwiches were cut in half and one half was big enough to make the average person full. We got five sandwiches for only about €30! The place was not a tourist trap, but i have to say, the seats at the booth were uncomfortable to me, and the place was a bit small. Sorry i do not have photos. But overall, I would recommend to go here. Amo questo posto! Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo preso diversi panini e li abbiamo condivisi tutti. Abbiamo preso un grande piatto di cibo che era abbastanza grande da sfamare 10 persone! I nostri panini erano tagliati a metà e una metà era sufficiente per saziare una persona media. Abbiamo preso cinque panini per solo circa 30€! Il posto non era una trappola per turisti, ma devo dire che i sedili nel booth (il tavolo con divanetti) erano scomodi per me, e il locale era un po' piccolo. Scusate se non ho foto. Ma nel complesso, lo consiglierei di andarci.

First for everything I guess, but the way she aggressively spoke & acted as though we were a nuisance to her establishment when we're trying to support & do business was very unprofessional.
