FAQs

The difference between crostini and bruschetta is the bread type and how it’s toasted. Crostini is typically made from smaller, thinner slices of baguette while bruschetta is traditionally made with larger, thicker slices of rustic style bread. As for toasting, crostini is typically toasted under a grill, while bruschetta is traditionally cooked over an open flame. Another point of difference is the toppings. Bruschetta is typically topped with a simple mixture of tomatoes, basil and olive oil while crostini can be topped with spreads, cheeses and meat. 

Crostini is a canapé or an entree, made on a small base of toasted thinly sliced bread brushed with olive oil. Popular toppings include cheese, sliced meats, roasted vegetables and seafood. 

The word ‘crostini’ actually means ‘little toast’ in Italian, referring to thinly sliced small pieces of toasted bread. It can also refer to the canapes that are made using these little toasts as a base.
