This Testaccio location is the original birthplace of the trapizzino, a pizza-bread pocket format now found across Rome.
The fillings are traditional Roman braises and stews, such as chicken saltimbocca, rather than standard sandwich ingredients.

📖

Full description

Trapizzino invented the format it's named for, a pocket of soft, pizza-like bread stuffed with traditional Roman braises and stews, and this Testaccio branch is where the concept started before it spread across the city. Reviewers describe the bread itself as impressively soft with a crisp crust, and the fillings, including a chicken saltimbocca version, come recommended as genuinely delicious rather than a novelty gimmick.

Its 4.6 rating from nearly 5,900 reviews and a near-maximum must-see score confirm it as a must-try quick bite, well suited to a fast, affordable lunch or an easy snack while exploring the Testaccio neighbourhood.

Reviews

The absolute gem of visiting Rome, came back to it multiple times, forget pasta, pizza, this is it. That is all you need to try. So worth clogging your pores with this oily tasty deliciousness. We ate it at the park nearby, during busy hours there can be very long lines and no where to sit.
