Encyclopedic overview
Panini with mortadella Panini (/pəˈniːniː/), nowadays less commonly called panino ( Italian pronunciation: [pa'niːno]), are sandwiches made with Italian bread (such as ciabatta and michetta), usually served warm after grilling or toasting.
In many English-speaking countries, the name panini is given to a grilled sandwich made using various breads. The bread is cut horizontally and filled with deli ingredients, and often served warm after having been pressed by a warming grill.
