The trifecta of a good, traditional Italian meal is good wine, good pasta and, of course, good bread. What's a good bowl of pasta without that slice of garlic bread to go with it?
Bruschetta would not be the antipasto we all know and love without the sliced baguette, toasted to perfection and rubbed with garlic for extra flavor. Many times, a platter of cold cuts, cheeses and bread with a good glass of wine could be considered a perfect meal in and of itself.
