Ended up here while waiting for a table at Russ & Daughters nearby. We stopped in for some coffee and small bites while we waited. Oh man, I wish we were hungry enough to go back afterwards. This place was one of the best food experiences we had while in NYC. Coffee was outstanding, desserts were fantastic (particularly the olive oil cake), fingerling potatoes were perfect, and the Cacciatora Trapazzini was out of this world (my picture doesn't do it justice; it's a small handheld sandwich). If I ever returned to NYC I would go here in a heartbeat and wished I had more time to go back on my trip.

The wookie.

Ohhhh yesss! European service in American. It's absolutely awesome. I was traveling solo and in my first 48 hours. This was the first one restaurant that actually engaged. I applaud that. The staff were the best I encountered in New York. Having eating trapizzino in Milan and Rome. I can confirm this place is just as good! Missing the warm Italian sunshine, but then again, I did visit in February. If you haven't tried it before or have had it before. Add trapizzino to your wish list for NYC.

Started with risotto ball, it was average. Continued with ox tail sandwich, it was very flavorful. Pasta wasn’t on lunch menu, but chef obliged. Pesto was great! Ended with Espresso Martini.

We visited Trapizzino, which is famous for their trapizzini, randomly. The decor & ambiance is adorable and cozy. Both appetizers we had were delicious. We got their signature Trapizzini and Classico Suppli. Trapizzini is authentic street food from Rome. We had braised oxtail and it was flavorful with tender texture. Their Classico Suppli was impressively satisfying. It’s too good to only have one order with its crispy layer & cheesy and flavorful filling.

I stopped by while out enjoying my Saturday and luckily grabbed a spot outside (it’s usually pretty busy!). The trapizzino, a triangular Roman-style pizza pocket stuffed with classic Italian fillings, was unreal. Proper comfort food. I’d give it a solid 4 stars. It’s a great spot for a quick spritz or to cozy up with a few small dishes and soak in the vibe. As night falls, it really gives those Italian café feels. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby!

Very good food, cute atmosphere. I am taking off a point to make aware of a dinner combo that makes no sense. $30 for Trappizini and 1/2 Pasta. The combo does not make it clear that it is a 1/2 Pasta. Ordering a Trappizini and full pasta would also be about $30 or less in some cases and you would get more food. Very bizarre decision by management. Our server was very lovely and comped our bill partially to make up for the confusion. So if you come here, don't order the combo, just order the items separately. I got the Pesto pasta and Oxtail Trappizini along with broccolini to start (very good).

Great option for a quick spritz stop or just to cozy up with some dishes to whet the palatte and enjoy the atmosphere. Gives italian cafe vibes especially as night falls.

Cool Roman street-food spot on the LES—Trapizzino's trapizzini are addictive! Food was excellent: pollo alla cacciatora pocket was juicy and flavorful (hunter-style chicken perfection), polpetta al sugo meatball one hearty and saucy, and supplì rice balls crispy with gooey centers. Great for sharing with a spritz. Service was friendly and quick, though it slowed when busy. Atmosphere is casual and fun (bright, small space with outdoor seats, buzzing energy), but it's tight and can get loud.

Trappizzino delivers a great atmosphere and a fun, energetic vibe, even if the food itself falls a bit short. The space is cool, lively, and well located, making it an easy spot to pop into and enjoy the ambiance. Unfortunately, the food lands around a 2–3 out of 5. It’s well executed in concept but lacking the depth of flavor you’d hope for. That said, the setting and location do a lot of the heavy lifting. Trappizzino is worth a visit for the vibe and experience, but it’s not a place I’d go to specifically for the food.

Plain and simple: Trapizzino hits the spot. Went with a friend and we ordered far too much (yet ate it all). I can’t recall the quality of the drinks we ordered, but I’d argue that you’re not coming here to be wowed by their mixology. The food is where it’s at. A little cramped, yet still worth a visit.

Mmmm, Roman street food. Crispy focaccia stuffed with savory fillings. I love when my food comes in pockets. - Pollo Alla Cacciatora: For the "white sauce" lovers in your crew - Polpetta Al Sugo: A meatball worth remembering - Doppia Panna: Unique, tart and savory - Coda Alla Vaccinara: Probably the best of all the trapizzino, IMO, because that oxtail melts in your mouth For apps, you can't go wrong with the Slow Cooked Broccolini or the Marinated Mushrooms. So why the 3 stars? Our server screwed up our order and ended up putting in for 2x the trapizzini we asked for. They kept arriving piecemeal in one long tray after another, and we got so overwhelmed trying to fix things, that we ended up just throwing up our hands and accepting them all. But we weren't thrilled about paying nearly double for what we had planned to get. Also, they need to stop being cheap and just turn on the damn AC. I basically melted into my trapizzino.

Portion size was disappointing I would’ve been hungry if my girlfriend finished her food, the food was average, a bit pricey, however service was fast and drinks were good. They need to improve on portion sizes, because if you disappoint new customers how can you expect to keep them around. The restaurant business model is based off of keeping old and new customers satisfied and happy, not infinite growth or constantly new customers.

Expensive for no reason. $16 for 4 pieces of bread (not even great) $17 for a chicken salad with the toughest chicken my teeth have ever cheewed on. Save ur money

The waiter here was rude and made me feel like I was unwelcome here. I immediately left. I would never return here or recommend this place.
