Tramezzino uovo e maionese: chopped hard-cooked egg bound with mayonnaise in a soft crustless triangle, the egg filling reduced to its two barest parts.
Egg with anchovy fillets; salty-rich combination.
Oil-packed tuna and chopped hard-cooked egg folded together with mayonnaise into one bound spread, the third triangle in the bar case that is not a variant of either plain parent.
Mayonnaise-bound tuna under a single ripe summer tomato slice in a soft crustless triangle; the bar case's wettest tonno filling, replaced twice a day in July.
Oil-packed tuna bound with mayonnaise and stirred through with sliced cured olives, sealed in a soft crustless triangle. The brine gives the mild fish a spine.
Oil-packed tuna worked with mayonnaise and threaded with quartered marinated baby artichokes, sealed in a soft crustless triangle. The artichoke is the green lift in a flat spread.
Smoked salmon with arugula and cream cheese; peppery green with rich fish.
Tramezzino prosciutto e funghi: cooked ham and dark-stewed champignon mushrooms, the mushroom drained hard so it cannot soak the soft crustless bread.
Cooked Italian ham and a mild meltable cheese, usually fontina or domestic emmental, layered cold into a soft crustless triangle. The deli pairing compressed onto bar bread.
Raw cured prosciutto crudo against oil-packed baby artichokes in a soft crustless triangle; long salt met by sharp herb, the dry cure given a vegetable counter.
Sheets of raw cured Italian ham, folded loose into a soft crustless triangle with nothing beside the cure. The plainest dry-cured tramezzino, judged on slicer thickness and bind alone.
Cold poached chicken diced into a curry-bloomed mayonnaise, mounded into a crustless soft-white triangle: the Italian bar's 1970s Anglo-import filling.

A wooden tray of four, six, or eight crustless triangles, each a different filling, ordered by the count and shared between guests at aperitivo. The platter shape of the 1925 Turin form.
Lombard cow's-milk blue eased with mascarpone and folded with toasted walnut into a soft crustless triangle; a wet vein cheese tempered to fit a fragile crumb.
A cool pink-and-green triangle in the Veneto bar case: shrimp and ripe avocado bound with lemon mayonnaise in crustless pancarrè, the case's late-arrival entry.
The vegetarian slot in the Veneto bar case: cooked-down champignon <em>trifolati</em> and a mild meltable cheese in crustless pancarrè, no ham, no cured-pork salt anchor.
Double-decker tramezzino with two fillings separated by middle bread layer.
Lean Valtellina cure draped on soft crustless white bread with a handful of peppery rocket, the Lombard tramezzino whose load-bearing seasoning is a leaf.
The Tuscan and Roman spelling of the plain egg tramezzino. Same triangle as the Veneto's uovo e maionese; al'uovo is a regional naming habit, not a different sandwich.
Cold-smoked South Tyrolean speck folded into a soft crustless triangle; mountain cure inside lowland bread, the loudest filling in a quiet row.
Summer vegetables off a ridged iron, drained hard, cooled, then folded into a soft crustless triangle. The vegetarian tramezzino built on moisture management.
