About Our Bruschetta

Bruschetta is one of the most beloved Italian appetizers, and our version at Pranzo Italiano has earned a devoted following. We start with quality ciabatta bread, toasted to golden perfection with a satisfying crunch. The topping features ripe, diced Roma tomatoes mixed with fresh garlic, fragrant basil leaves, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Each piece is assembled fresh to order, ensuring the bread stays perfectly crispy while the vibrant tomato mixture adds a burst of fresh Mediterranean flavours. For those seeking something more substantial, we also offer a variation with Italian ham and melted cheese that transforms this classic appetizer into a satisfying starter.

Why Our Bruschetta is Special

The secret to our bruschetta lies in the quality of ingredients and timing. We use only ripe, flavourful tomatoes, fresh garlic (never powdered), and premium olive oil imported from Italy. The bread is toasted just before serving to maintain its crunch, and the tomato mixture is seasoned simply to let the fresh ingredients shine.

Perfect Pairings

Our Bruschetta makes the perfect start to any Italian meal. Follow it with our Spaghetti Bolognese, Beef Lasagna, or Osso Bucco for a complete dining experience. It's also wonderful shared with friends over a glass of wine before the main course.

"The bruschetta is ABSOLUTELY to die for! Fresh tomatoes, perfect garlic flavour, and the bread has just the right amount of crunch. We ordered two servings because one wasn't enough. This is how bruschetta should taste!"
