Varieties of italian sandwich

Italian sandwiches are inexpensive fast food for the gods, constructed with equal concern for flavor and aesthetics.
Get the selection at Pizza e Mortadella at 279 Via Cavour in Rome. These babies are stuffed with all the delicacies of the Italian kitchen: prosciutto, salami, mozzarella, tomatoes, grilled eggplant, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, tuna, salmon, even chicken salad -- although the thought of mayo makes some Italians gag.
You can also get fresh pizza rossa at Roscioli, which is basically pizza by the slice topped with such accompaniments as zucchini flowers. Like most Roman cafes, Camerino serves tramezzini. These are artistically filled sandwiches made on crustless triangles of spongy white bread.
