Spring is upon us and what better time to bring out the bruschetta? This Italian antipasto consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. Bruschetta is often topped with tomatoes too – juicy tomatoes are one of the best thing about spring and summer after all!
At Hugo Chetcuti’s Hugo’s Pizza and Pasta, you can find variations to the traditional Italian version, starting with the bread. Our skilled pizzaiolos are proud of our dough and use focaccia as a base instead of traditional bread.
Hugo Chetcuti’s bruschetta selection
Our Classic Bruschetta is served as a focaccia topped with tomatoes, onions, spring onions, basil and extra virgin olive oil. Understated simplicity has never tasted better. Hugo incorporates his love for fish and seafood with theOcean Bruschetta, which boasts ingredients such as smoked salmon, rucola, cherry tomatoes, chives and lime zest. Hugo’s Bruschetta, on the other hand, has Parma ham, rucola, parmesan shavings and cherry tomatoes as toppings.
The best thing about bruschetta? Although it usually falls under appetisers, you can indulge in it as a main course or a quick snack during your lunch break. Alternatively, take it with you to St. George’s Bay nearby and enjoy spring’s sunshine!
The mere sight of the focaccia bruschetta made by Hugo Chetcuti’s team will make your mouth water and your tastebuds tingle. We also offer a range of pasta dishes, salads, as well as traditional and gourmet pizzas. And if you have a sweet tooth, leave some space for our delicious desserts, namely the pineapple carpaccio and the delectable Nutella ravioli!
So come by to Hugo’s Pizza and Pasta and let the smell, texture and flavours play on your senses until you are giddy. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for weekly specials and news!
