Bread Tree

Dedicated to the art form of the bruschetta and the wonders of authentic Italian artisan foods

Bread Tree make bruschetta the way families in Italy have done for centuries, no short cuts and using bread made in a small bakery in Sicily.

Seasonings and toppings are all sourced in Calabria, such as pickled aubergines, sundried tomatoes, pesto Calabrese, sundried tomato paste and nduja.

Also on the menu are piadina, the delicious Italian flatbread sandwich. Go for the traditional parma ham or check out one of the veggie or vegan options, all served with sauces that come from southern Italy. And there are wheat-free options too – just ask Rebecca and Cristian and their team.
