This is the "international" version of the recently unveiled "all in one Alisnack box" concept now adopted by Alitalia and Alitalia Express on domestic and short international flights in order to reduce food, meal, catering costs, and replaces the previous "infamous" plastic box. As you will see it has the same design as the Alisnack domestic box, albeit in a bigger format. This time the sandwich was a completely tasteless roll filled with plastic-type mozzarella and real gum frittata, while the cake was a passable pre-packaged chocolate sponge-style pastry. The flying time was extremely short though, so actually not much to complain on what you get as you don't actually have time to completely evaluate it!
