There's no way this sandwich would be made here...not quick enough, not enough fresh ingredients and not enough cheese.

Edit: from the comments

All the ingredients in order of comparison. Capslock when is cheese: Filoncino bread, olive oil, PARMESAN, dried ciliegini (sweet tomatoes) with basil, fresh salad (radicchio+lettuce+lemon juice and lemon zest), fresh tomatoes (Ramati), GRATED CACIOTTA, GRATED SHEEP RICOTTA (the same he serves on a plate in the meanwhile. The one in the plate has been aromatized at the moment with fresh garlic, olive oil and origano), more RICOTTA, olives, red sweet onions and some more dried ciliegini.

The filling roll: Slices of a massive CACIOCAVALLO CHEESE, mashed potatoes with parsley and oil, ham, more RICOTTA, more sweet onions (with a drop of lemon this time), parsley. PS: For the italians mad to me for using the term "Parmesan", sorry. It's Parmigiano, the original one.

Damn now I am hungry and want one of those sandwiches!

Digging my passport out of the safe.

That sandwich ain't kosher, but damn, it looks good!

Oh my yummers ! Outstanding work of art samdwich. To do this video justice have to watch on Youtube on the large screen mode. I want one too ... !

Amazing, wish knew what was actually in it instead of guessing.

I'm still trying to identify all the ingredients as well.

I just edited my post to include the ingredients list from the video's comments....enjoy

That looks awesome!

Red sweet onion or shallots?

Here is a great article that explains what goes into his sandwiches ...

That's classic Italy, slow, slow food but, so good. Making me hungry

This guy's sandwiches are very much the exception to the rule, gratuitous by Italian-standards; the vast majority of sandwiches you'll find in Italy and most of southern Europe (Spain, Portugal & France) is usually bread, a spread of some sort and meat, general cured ham or, aged meat, very simple/basic. Northern Italy the focus is on the cheese and meat, Southern Italy, they'll have variety of tomato vinaigrettes or, some vegetable creation added since the diet is more seafood/vegetable based. American influence has certainly helped to expand the palate and get creative with a meal between bread; lots of Subway's BTW. Go to Florence and the All'Antico Vinaio's 4-shops rules the roost for sandwiches, pumping out 1000 sandos/day out of little closet-sized locations, tons of videos of people waiting for one.

When I die, I now know where heaven is.

The best I can muster is Baldino's here in Atlanta.

Beyond the sandwich, I love this. Eating in this culture is a social activity. You been anywhere lately where the folks who own the place and make the food interact with their customers like this? And notice the social interaction between all the folks standing around? If we could get more people here to act this way, we'd have far fewer problems...and a lot of great food.

Amen.
Live to eat, rather than eat to live.

From when I was last in Italy. They sliced off a few hunks and slapped them on a hard roll, so damn good!

The food almost ruined me for American food. A traditional Italian meal is not just food, its an event.

Five Euros for the sandwich? What a deal.

Looks like the best sandwich of all tine.
I drooled on my keyboard.

Yeah I think they have one of those spartan cliffs they throw bad chefs off of. I even had amazing food in the airport in Italy. One of the best places to eat on earth.

Nothing efficient about that dude, looks to be incredible and worth the wait
