The Italian term you are looking for is panino imbottito, which literally translates to "stuffed little bread".Here is a breakdown of the terms used in Italy for stuffed bread:

Panino Imbottito: The most common Italian equivalent to an American hero, hoagie, or deli sandwich. The word panino means "small bread" (a single roll), and imbottito is Italian slang/colloquial for "stuffed" or "padded."

Panuozzo: A popular Neapolitan street food. It is essentially made with pizza dough, baked, cut open, and stuffed with meats, cheeses, and vegetables like a traditional sandwich.

“ STROMBOLI” : While largely an Italian-American invention, the term refers to pizza dough ( not pizza dough but italian bread dough ) rolled up into a cylinder and stuffed with meats, cheeses, and sauce before being sliced.Panzerotti: Small, folded, and deep-fried ( not deep fried , shoukd be baked in own after raising , just as itaian bread is ) pockets of dough stuffed with fillings like tomato and mozzarella. The original created by Nazzareno Romano in 1950 was stuffed with lunchmeat as , cheese , and roasted bell peppers .
