Paradise of Panino, or "Italian sandwich"

In France, the name panino (singular) is more famous in its plural form: panini. At ORTO, these s sandwiches of Italian origin are spotlighted. And rightly so! Made from a ciabatta bread cut lengthwise, they are stuffed with "delicious cured meats and cheeses straight from Italy." And the big news is that this place, specializing in XXL Italian sandwiches, is about to open its doors in Lyon after winning over Toulouse, Paris, and Bordeaux.

.

On the menu, you'll find some divine sandwiches where you can indulge in truffle mortadella, DOP buffalo mozzarella, potato or eggplant parmigiana, IGP speck, basil and pistachio pesto, and so much more!! We won't spoil all the surprises for you like an evil spoiler. But just know that there isn't a single recipe that's more tempting than another… Good luck choosing your panino! The only solution to this dilemma: test them all.

A Story of Childhood Friends

When ORTO was created, it was the brainchild of two long-time friends: Antoine and Benjamin. The founders of this "Italian sandwich shop" share the same roots and both have been nurtured by the flavors of paninis with mortadella. Indeed, their grandparents arrived from Italy in the 50s to settle in the suburbs of Toulouse.

They grew up together, and that's how years later, ORTO was born. A beautiful tribute to friendship and the delights of the sandwich. One thing's for sure, the capital of Gaul is pretty lucky that these two met, because their paninis are to die for.

As for the proportions, a classic panino is already quite filling... But if you want it even more loaded, you can ask the chef to add all the toppings that make you happy! We'll give you more information on the date and address as soon as possible...
