What is Bruschetta?

Do you enjoy snacking on a quality Italian bread while you wait for your main course? At our Bothell Italian restaurant, you can precede your meal with one of our bruschetta al pomodoros off of our antipasti menu. This is a long-time favorite Italian appetizer that is sure to appeal to the entire table.

The word “bruschetta” is derived from the Italian bruscare, which means “to roast over coals”. The word describes not a specific type of bread, but rather a certain way that bread is prepared. It is usually made with Tuscan bread, like the variety you can find at Amaro Bistro, though it is also made with other types of Italian or French bread. The bread is toasted and seasoned with garlic and olive oil, along with any of a broad assortment of additional ingredients. We serve ours with roma tomatoes and organic basil, offering our diners a tantilizing preamble to any meal!
