Food & Wine – When it comes to handheld Italian delights, pizza isn’t the only game in town. From hot-pressed panini to heros, hoagies, and subs, there are plenty of ways to showcase Italian flavors in sandwich form. Put down your knife and fork to enjoy chicken Parmesan or eggplant Parmesan on a soft, tender roll, or use those same rolls to cradle perfectly seasoned meatballs or grilled Italian sausages for warm, meaty masterpieces.
