June's recipe from Signora Anna Bini
Bruschetta
Ingredients Serves 3:
3 tomatoes, ¼ cup of chopped parsley, 1/4 cup of chopped basil, ½ garlic clove, ¼ cup of olive oil, slices of bread (grilled/roasted)
Remove the core from the tomatoes and dice them in small cubes. Place them into a bowl and add the garlic previously either crushed with a garlic press or finely sliced. Then chop the parsley and basil and add them - with the olive oil - to the tomatoes making sure to mix well. Either toast or grill the sliced bread and then add the bruschetta on top, you can either serve immediately or refrigerate and serve later, none-the-less you will have a fresh delicious appetiser. Buon Appetito!

The philosophy of Casa Bini is consistent with the best Italian cuisine, traditional but not nostalgic, refined without ostentation, easygoing but much more than your usual trattoria. Excellent.
