A tramezzino (Italian: [tramedˈdziːno]; pl.: tramezzini) is an Italian sandwich constructed from two slices of soft white bread, with the crusts removed, usually cut in a triangle. Popular fillings include tuna, olive, and prosciutto, but many other fillings can be used.^[1][2]

The term tramezzino was coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio to replace the English word sandwich.^[3] It is the diminutive of the word tramezzo, meaning 'in-between' (formed with the addition of the suffix -ino).

The origin of the tramezzino can be found in the Caffè Mulassano in Piazza Castello, Turin, where it was devised in 1925 as an alternative to English tea sandwiches.^[4][5] In July 19, the newspaper La Cucina Italiana wrote the first official recipe for the sandwich. Tramezzini are also sold in Hungary pre-packaged at railway and subway stations, and are a popular food choice of commuters.

The tramezzino consists of soft milk bread without crust in a triangular shape, stuffed abundantly in the center. The peculiarity of this Italian specialty is given by the humidity of the bread, which is conferred by the presence of mayonnaise and, in Venice, also by the humid climate of the city.^{[citation needed]} This makes the bread particularly soft. Among the most common fillings are ham with mushrooms, artichokes, cheese; mozzarella and tomato; fish: tuna, salmon, shrimps or crab; salami and boiled egg; rocket and bresaola and chicken and salad.
