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.
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.
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
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.

Stopped in and saw long line and waited until the next day. To get a table ask for the wine area down stairs. Clean cool room with great service. The food was amazing with small potions. It gives you time to try out a little of everything on menu. Good wine selection available read more
We went here as one of stops on our good tour. Everyone really enjoyed both the rice balls and the individual trapizzinos that we ordered. I had one with zucchini, which was so delicious! My husband had a spicy chicken filled one, that he also said was amazing! We would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Rome! read more

This spot serves a variety of pizza pockets - easy to eat on the go! We ordered a meatball one which was delicious, outside bread was yummy. Also got a chicken one - chicken itself was a bit dry. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Yummy but nothing that blew us out of the park! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
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. read more

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! read more
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! read more
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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more
