Bruschetta - by Executive Chef Gero DiMaria at Ricciotti, The Star Vista

Bruschetta is an antipasta from Italy, made with grilled or toasted Italian bread or baguette slices coated with a layer of raw garlic, sea salt, pepper, olive oil, and topped with a variety of ingredients: red pepper, onions, tomatoes(Pomodoro), mushrooms(funghi), beans, cured meat (Parma ham), cheese (Parmesan, Mozzarella). 

At Ricciotti Pizza Pasta Grill, Executive Chef Gero DiMaria serves 6 different types of Bruschetta : 
  1. Mista
  2. Prosciutto 
  3. Salmone
  4. Funghi
  5. Pomodoro
  6. Aglio 




For this food tasting session, Executive Chef Gero presents the Mista : mixed bruschetta platter of pomodoro, funghi, salmone. 

The grill patterns are visible on the thinly sliced Italian bread, seasoned with garlic, extra virgin olive oil, freshly grounded pepper, sea salt. 



The funghi bruschetta (centre) has the shaved Parmesan layered on top of the sauteed mushrooms, with a drizzle of truffle - a delightfully crunchy bite. 

The pomodoro bruschetta (left) has fresh tomato, fresh Italian parsley, basil and extra virgin olive oil  layered on the bread. 

The smoked salmon bruschetta (right) is beautifully curled on the bread on top of the rocket salad, and is chewy to the bite.
