It really isn’t a specific sandwich type like, say, a reuben or club sandwich or such — the other commenters are right, it might have a name in some autogrill (Apollo) or might just be a “panino con la cotoletta” (sandwich with breaded chicken). 🙂
*The “breaded chicken” was invented in Milano to keep the Austrian occupiers happy. They seemed to like that sort of thing. The Austrians took it back to Vienna and it became better known. “Weiner schnitzel”.
And let me tell you my friend…. You had one of the worst (as in quality). Mass production, not the freshest and using not the best quality ingredients. You can get 1 like that but 1000s times better in Italy
Overly expensive industrial cotoletta sandwich that you can buy on the highway in Italy
Well, “wonderful chicken sandwich” Is a risky definition ahahahahah
Btw its an “Apollo” from autogrill, the commercial version of what Italians mom prepare you for the lunch outside home (especially good on Sea days) Heres the recipe:
– loaf of bread, Better rosetta o ciabattina
– 1 chicken cotoletta, crispy as much as you can, maybe a Little burned
– 1-2 lettuce leaf
– 1-2 tomato slices (pick the ones that goes well in salads like “cuor di bue”
– generous amount of yogurt based mayonnaise
Drink a beer at side, go for the worst beer you can find at the supermarket like “Ichnusa classica” or peroni.
Apollo!
Comunque OP dice la verità; in Italia il panino più scrauso dell’autogrill è meglio di molta roba che ti accatti all’estero.
Siamo i detentori delle chiavi del sapore, i guardiani del palato. Vegliamo da tempo immemore sulle papille gustative dell’umanità. In pausa pranzo abbiamo attraversato le colonne di ercole e siamo tornati indietro a riferire cosa c’è al di là.
È indiscussa sta roba.
The fact that people love the food from highway restaurant chains we usually despise tells a lot on different expectations 🙂
I like it as well, but unfortunately it’s often made of reconstituted meat, something I try to avoid whenever possible.
Apollo from Autogrill
“Panino con la cotoletta”, it’s a typical “pranzo al sacco” meal (lunch bag in English maybe?), I still have remembrance of when I went on hiking trips with the Church, this dry motherfucker was everything we would have to eat during a whole day of going up and down the Alps. At least in Austria and Hungary they put some sauce on their schnitzel sandwiches, ours was dry like the desert Jesus wandered in for 40 days.
Panino con la cotoletta, But it’s not the best place to eat it, certainly better than many other places, even if it costs twice as much
Panino con la cotoletta (schnitzel sandwich)
It’s a basic “filone” bread with a chicken cutlet in it, a light smear of mayo and a leaf of lettuce. You basically love the default bar/gas station sandwich here in Italy
Inculata costosa al pollo
Ma dai che è un troll
Che standard bassi…
Questi vengono in italia scoprono il panino con la cotoletta e gli cambia il mondo!
It’s not the “Apollo” sandwich, stop listening to people that tell you that it is.
The apollo has that cheap fake burger buns, this is good bread. This is “panino con cotoletta” made by Sarni
panino con la cotoletta
It’s funny that foreigners consider “wonderful” what we would only eat if there was nothing else edible available.
Sempre stato il mio panino preferito all’Autogrill, fin da bambino 😍 sarà che sono milanese e adoro la cotoletta
Dude, if you were blown up by this we have to talk
BEHOLD THE APOLLO, KING OF AUTOGRILL SANDWICHES, BANE OF WALLETS.
“Wonderful chicken sandwich” this is the poor-man version of a more traditional “cotoletta milanese” which tastes way better
Panino con la cotoletta, the name at the gas station (autogrill branded) is “Apollo”
Ci vuole poco a far felice qualcuno!
panino con la cotoletta, It’s literally bread with a giant chicken nugget, tomato slices and lettuce.
best place and quality is at local bakeries (“panifici”), but, as you experienced, it’s canon in resorts, bars, and places that are not primarly a restoraunt but have a microwave/grill to “cook” something. I like it too, when i find myself in those places when I’m really hungry that’s my first option, followed by “tavola calda”. you can replicate it at home, to get the exact feeling go to the market, frozen food sector, and you take the cotoletta from there. most supermarket got the bakery sector too, find the bread you like there. take the lettuce and tomato from fruit and vegetable sector and there you have it
Normally is called apollo
Sandwich with chicken cutlet? If you got it at an Autogrill, you probably paid like a 300% markup for a €3 sandwich. Italians love to hate Autogrill prices
We don’t name everything in a standard way as you do in the US… also if you got it in an Autogrill along the highway… you overpaid and it’s actually kinda the worst quality you could get😂

That’s the infamous “Apollo”
