Nope, as mukkapazza pointed out 'voi' should work, just make sure you conjugate the verb properly, that it 'voi mangiate un panino'. Mind you 'you eat a sandwich' can also be translated as 'Lei mangia un panino' in which case the pronoun should always be capitalised, no matter where it falls in the sentence just like I in English, and it would be the formal you.

I wrote Mangi il panino, and it said it was wrong, that it should be Tu mangi... Was 'Tu' really necessary?
No, the "tu" is not necessary, but it marked you wrong for "il" panino where it should have been "un" panino. The prompt is "a" sandwich and you said "the" sandwich.
so... i had the options "Tu mangi un panino." and "Tu fai un panino." as well as something else that clearly wasn't correct. Why would "fai" not be accepted as eat here, but it is in other cases, e.g., "Fai colazione?"
The verb "fare" means "to do/make", which is not the same as "mangiare", which means "to eat".
Tu mangi is definitely right its called grammar I guess how I learn it ??!!!!! So not sure why my mistake is spelling panini instead if panino hmmm error
tu mangi means "you (singular, informal) eat"
panini is plural, it means "sandwiches"
panino is singular, it means "sandwich"
The "panino/panini" issue has nothing to do with "tu mangi".
When do you use "un" and when do you use "uno"? Ehy wouldn't it be "uno panino"?
