What is this bread roll filled with?
'Farcito' — stress on 'far-CÌ-to'. Three syllables. The 'c' is hard before 'i'.
Ask when you see pre-filled bread rolls in the bakery display and want to know the ingredients before choosing.
'Farcito' = filled/stuffed. 'Farcitura' = the filling. 'Con cosa è farcito?' is a natural question structure. Prefilled rolls ('panini farciti') are common in Italian bakeries — often with prosciutto, mozzarella, tuna, or vegetable combinations.

Very casual — most natural in informal settings
È con mozzarella?

Italian bakeries often make their own 'panini farciti' in the morning for the lunch rush. The combination of prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, and fresh tomato is perhaps Italy's most iconic sandwich filling — simple, balanced, and requiring the best possible ingredients.
