Trapizzino

Tucked into the vibrant heart of Trastevere, Trapizzino has become something of a Roman institution. This beloved spot takes the simple concept of pizza dough and transforms it into something wonderfully portable and utterly satisfying. The triangular pockets—crispy on the outside, pillowy soft within—are filled with the kind of slow-cooked Italian classics that your nonna would approve of.

The menu celebrates traditional Roman flavors done exceptionally well. The chicken cacciatore is a standout, braised for hours until the meat practically melts, infused with white wine and fragrant herbs. Equally impressive are the meatballs swimming in a rich, house-made tomato sauce. Pair your trapizzino with one of their potato croquettes and a cold beer or glass from their carefully curated Lazio wine list, and you’ve got yourself a proper meal.

The atmosphere here is casual and welcoming, with round tables perfect for sharing and a lively bar scene. It’s the kind of place where you can pop in for a quick bite between sightseeing or settle in for a leisurely lunch with friends. The Trastevere location, with its prime spot on Piazza Trilussa, captures everything charming about this neighborhood—lively, unpretentious, and deeply Roman.

Whether you’re looking for an affordable lunch option, a late-night snack after wandering the cobblestone streets, or simply a taste of authentic Roman street food done right, Trapizzino delivers. Order a couple of these stuffed delights, grab a seat at the bar, and watch the neighborhood come alive around you.
