Immediately greeted with a warm smile which is always a great start to a review. Staff can truly make or break an establishment in this case they definitely make the establishment more enjoyable . Trappizino Is a Roman street food vibe with multiple locations in tine but only one in NYC( how lucky did I get to run into it ! ). I came before a dinner rush at 5 pm roughly , it was a grey windy day and I needed a hug after a long shift shift the night before left me drained, knowing I couldnât openly ask a stranger for one I opted in for the next best option. Comfort food. Although Trappizino is sporting a half bar the list was still impressive. Who needs a full bar when you have a dope wine list , they are showcasing grapes ranging from falanghina to cesanese. Food wise I let the staff take the wheel to drive and what a great journey. Mateo did not disappoint when he suggested these beautiful crunchy sandwiches called Trappizino, when I got here I wasnât sure what that meant! The first was oxtail . Tender stewed goodness inside of crunchy focaccia . What a way to play with layers of texture and savory umami , after I had the chicken trappizino , I was immediately taken aback by how much flavor was loaded into this chicken, it was as if they had been feeding the chicken garlic and Rosemary itâs entire life before it was put onto my plate Hary told me the meats take hours of preparation and it shows on the plate . He then suggested the fig Negroni , a young bartender curious about spirits , what he may lack in Italian digestif experience he makes up for in sheer enthusiasm and a precision of recipes, I look forward to seeing what he can contribute to our industry in the long term. Overall good service but anyone can do that. Hospitality is how you feel at the end of your service and I left feeling like I got the comfort of the hug I so desperately needed. Truly had an amazing experience Thank you Trappizino team for the...
   Read moreThis is by far one of the best places to eat in NYC and our favorite for a family lunch. The food is incredible, top quality ingredients and the customer service is great. Very good selection of wines and the espresso is quite good. I also tried the olive oil citrus cake with mascarpone cream, delicious! Update Jan. 26/19: I have change my rating from 5 to 2 stars. After many months of not going to this location, I was so excited to go back here with my family. As soon as I walked in I noticed a lot of changes were made. I went to place my order by the register and before I even had a chance to finish my sentence the guy behind the counter said "Miss, the waitress will be right there to help!" Not quite the friendly service I am used to but ok, I went back to my table and we ordered. We asked if we could order a plain trapizzino for our 3 year old son, which was never a problem in the past. She said the owner didn't want to make modifications with the food but she would do it for us this one time. She then said we should never again ask for this favor and to not mention that it was done in the past. Apparently, the owner made these changes this past October. After a 25 minutes wait, the food came. The good news is the sandwiches are still delicious. The bad news is, everything else that made this place special is now gone. Did I mention that in less than 2 years the sandwiches went from $6 to $8 plus taxes? I hope the locations in Italy are better because we are not coming back here...
   Read moreMy husband and I were in the area and just finished dinner. We were looking for a place to get some quality dessert and decided to come here based on the other reviews. The ambience was nice and romantic- it was around 8 at night and raining outside so the lighting was nice and perfect. We ordered the tiramisu and I ordered a spritz drink (forgot the name). The tiramisu was amazingly delicious, creamy, with bites of chocolate but it was not intensely sweet, it was just perfect!! The drink was delicious too, refreshing and floral-only complaint that it had to much ice compared to drink. Prices were good too. We really wanted to try the food but had dinner beforehand- so we got the Pollo alla Cacciatorna to go after asking the waiter if he recommended it- just to try the food to see if weâd like it and wanted to come back! It was so delicious- like a panini pocket- the chicken was juicy tender and so flavorful and the bread was nice and moist and fresh as well!! My husband and I will definitely be coming back- with empty stomachs this time to try more of the food!!! Highly highly recommend this spot if youâre looking for a quick snack, delicious quick bite or just to drink some coffee!! Lastly the waiters were really nice and attentive!!! Iâd give 10 stars if I could to this place!! Itâs such...
