Where to Try the Best Street Food in Rome

Street food is trendy in Rome, especially sliced pizza, tramezzini, or suppli (fried rice balls). However, you can also find shops with food from different countries for a low price.

It is important to note that food trucks are not that famous in Rome, and most of the time, you can meet them near the city’s main sites or bars and nightclubs. Here’s what to eat in Rome if you want to pay less but still enjoy high-quality products:

La Casa Del Suppli – Famous Roman Street Food in Trastevere

La Boccaccia – Number 1 Street Food Pizza in Rome

I’ve tried sliced pizza in over 40 street food shops in the last five years. La Boccaccia goes in the top 3: high quality, a wide selection of pizzas, excellent service, and low price. Moreover, the quality of the pizza they make is better than any other “Pizza al taglio” place.

Today, you can find more than 20 variations of trapezzini and choose the one you like most. This is an excellent choice if you are hungry, and its taste is incomparable.
