Bruschetta | Kitchen on the Cliff with Giovanna Bellia LaMarca

- Today is September 29th: our daughter Nicoletta’s birthday! Here she is featured in this video making 3 different types of bruschetta. Bruschetta is an antipasto using grilled bread as the vehicle for delicious toppings which can vary as much as your creativity allows! Today, we topped our bruschette with fried eggplant, fire roasted roasted peppers, and olive salad.
These bruschette are perfect for a picnic lunch or an afternoon snack!
All of the toppings for the bruschette can be made ahead of time making it easy to put together a quick meal or snack!
Quantities and measurements for all the bruschette toppings much rely on your personal preference. Use our video as a guide and adjust as needed. Quanto basta!

Your daughter Nicoletta speaks excellent Italian. I'm impressed.
I have spoken to her exclusively in Italian all her life. But she attended a Montessori school from age 2 1/2 to be sure that her English was equally fluent.
I’m very proud to have passed my beautiful native language to my daughter! ❤️
@@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca Saluti dall'Italia!
I'm of Irish heritage, I love the richness of the Italian way of cooking.
Thank you and enjoy cooking and eating Irish and Italian food. My husband is half Irish! ☘️
That was fun to watch! So far, I had seen it in bits and pieces. It was great to see it all come together. Terrific video break for my birthday :)
Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Daughter, Nicoletta!
Tanti auguri. Really nice video, by the way

One day,I saw your video accidentally, now I have been watching your videos regularly. This is the beauty of internet or TH-cam that we came straight into your kitchen which was not thinkable 20 years ago. As usual every human think, eat feel in the same manner whether he is in Ukrain, in Afghanistan, in China, in Brazil, in turkey or in India. We all eat tomato, onion, brinjal, spinach, pepper salt, sugar etc etc.!it's always style of cooking that matters. Nobody eat rocks,we all eat the same thing but cook them in a little different ways according to our geographic availability of certain ingredients,custom and taste develop over the years. And today I saw your daughter, I feel,she is replica of her father! Isn't we feel the same way? Love to see your videos but it's your talking that interested me more than your cooking! People hardly talk these days just gazing mobile all the time but than with the same mobile we can see you and your life along with recipes... Thanks for sharing... Respectfully 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for having expressed your thoughts so beautifully! The world is one and we are all brothers and sisters. We must celebrate our differences and appreciate one another! 🌹
Old school Chef here, Kudos Mom and Daughter. Professional kitchens would be honored and wise to learn from you. Shining example of culinary excellence and traditions. Thank you!
Thank you, Dave. we have always learned from each other with pleasure!
Giovanna, thank you🌹 for your videos. You are a great cook and very innovative and your dishes look delicious.
We're learning so much from you.
@@bamlimas4924 It’s my greatest pleasure to share! Thank you for watching! 🌹
@@bamlimas4924 Thank you so much! 🌹
A new subscriber here... Giovanna, you are such a wonderful teacher!! I look forward to making all of these!!!
Thank You Didi, I appreciate your comment. Grazie!
I love to hear you too. Speak in Italian. It reminds me so much of my mom. She’s in heaven now.
What I love about your channel is that you are perfectly integrated in the American culture, but retained your culture and language. And then passed it all down one generation. I like this much better than other channels where the host only speaks a local dialect, their English is painful, and their kids say stuff like muzzadell.
My dear TH-cam Friend,
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I feel that out of respect for any language, one ought to speak and/or learn a language correctly and well. I also cringe at the fact that being illiterate in two languages is considered “charming” and pronouncing a foreign word incorrectly is acceptable!
I have spoken to my daughter exclusively in Italian since birth, and to be sure that her English was always as fluent as her Italian, we placed her in a Montessori pre-school when she was 2 1/2 and had the desired results. Passing my language to my daughter was very important, but never at the expense of her own native language!
Best Regards, Giovanna 🌹
It is wonderful to see generations working together in a family enterprise. It is not something that one sees much anymore. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, experience, stories and cooking skills with us. Your entire family is delightful,
Thank you so much, Jerry. We appreciate your kind words. 🌹
Your recipes are really inspiring, Madam. Simple, healthy and tasty food!
....and equally easy to prepare! Thank you Steve.
Giovanna you are a gem to youtube. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so much!🌹
Thank you so much for making me wake up to you guys. Beautiful food and beautiful smiles! How beautiful is Nicoletta!! I love your smile, I smiled right back at my TV 😂😂
We love and appreciate the precious interactions with our TH-cam Friends! Grazie!
Oh that looks wonderful! These earthy flavors are what summer bounty is all about. Your daughter looks like an excellent cook too! I'm glad to see you back Giovanna!
Thank you. Nicoletta is a wonderful cook!
Love your daughter’s Trinacria pendant and Vitti na Crozza in the background is so spot on.
What a great joy to watch you both cooking and serving your wonderful dishes to Pappa! Brings back such lovely memories of my Calabrian and Sicilian roots! And it is not even all about the food for me. Watching you cook is like watching a beautifully choreographed performance with such skill and precision .The little nuances like toasting the bread on the fire and chopping the garlic in your fingers just authenticates the whole legacy of Italian cooking skills. I just found you, and I will watch all your videos with great joy! Thank you to whomever films and edits. They do a great job!
Dearest Carmela,
Your name is dear to my heart because my maternal Grandmother was also named Carmela, and having had four Sons, each of them ( according to Sicilian custom) named their daughters Carmela!
Thank you for watching and for your beautiful words!
The filming and professional editing is done by our brilliant Granddaughter Francesca!
I love watching your videos Giovanna, it brings me back to my childhood watching my grandmother cooking my favorite Sicilian meals. The roasted peppers under oil ,the eggplant, the caponata, stuffed artichoke,the arancini, and I can't leave out the zeppole..sooo good. I love all your meals, great work!
Thank you Jim, you will bring back treasured memories of your Nonna, every time you cook a dish! Buon Appetito!
What a pleasure to watch! You remind me of my family’s way of cooking!! It was always a total pleasure to watch, help out, & learn directly from both my mom & especially my grandmother!! Their experience & cooking knowledge was pretty immense, so it was extraordinarily exciting to hear about the dishes they loved & prepared for our family & extended family get togethers! This show has that special feel & beauty!! Thank you!!
Our pleasure!
I love Italian food so much, for that reason I grow my own basil and parsley
Watching your husband I thought of my mother! She used to always say, "I not talkin' while the flava lasts" she had a Boston accent!! I miss my Mom..She taught me how to cook. She was Polish and my father was Italian. They met and married in Boston in '44 and moved back to Texas after two cold snowy winters! My dad didn't like shoveling snow! He was born in Waco, TX and was raised in Dallas where I was also born and raised. I live in the country now for almost 30 years here with my horses dogs and cats! My five kids were raised here on the Fivehands Farm and they've all gotten married and living their own lives! I made homemade ravioli last night until 12:30 AM, my comfort food! It was delicious today for lunch with my homemade sauce, a nice salad, and bruschetta!! 🍷 Ciao! I enjoyed your video very much! Your daughter seems so very nice!
Thank You so much, Annette. I enjoy hearing your stories and remembrances of years past in family harmony. Enjoy life at Five Hands (Cinquemani) Farms and keep making our delicious Soul Food!
@@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca I sure will girl!! I always enjoy being with you and your familia in your bright and lovely kitchen on the Cliff!
Everything looks so scrumptious delicious as usual you do it with great style and finesse and by the way your daughter is absolutely beautiful
Modestly speaking, I must say that I agree with you! Thank You.
Love the simplicity and real family atmosphere.
From what I can tell by watching your lovely videos, it seems that your "Kitchen on the Cliff" is somewhere in NJ on the Palisades, looking across into the Upper Riverside section of NYC or perhaps further north towards Yonkers, Hastings on Hudson or maybe even Tarrytown. I lived in Westchester County NY for about fifteen years and your lovely videos remind me of the incredible array of Italian/Sicilian food available in the area. These bruschetta are particularly appetizing and remind me of warm spring and summer afternoons when we would visit our favorite local Italian delis and bakeries and get all sorts of prepared cold marinated dishes, fresh mozzarella and different cheeses, fresh bread, pastries and cookies and a bottle of good wine and mineral water and go have a picnic somewhere beautiful near water with a great view. Your careful instructions and advice on preparing Italian food reminds me of visiting friends homes and enjoying their mother's or grandmother's or aunt's lovingly homemade Italian/Sicilian food. I miss your food and culture from the Tri State area and your videos are like a trip back in time to my wonderful memories. LOVE YOUR POSTS!
Dear Rusty,
I love your name, because it was the name of a beloved High School Friend, now gone 🌹
You are absolutely right, we are Palisade dwellers, we welcome you to our Kitchen on The Cliff and we thank you very much for watching!
The aromas in the kitchen when cooking these ingredients is very nostalgic. Beautiful simple food.
Nostalgia brings back treasured memories. Now try making some of these dishes for a double pleasure.
Cara signora Giovanna l'ho appena incontrata su TH-cam. Che bello sentire parlare perfetto italiano e inglese .Piano piano guarderò tutti i suoi videos. Anche la bella figliola è simpatica e una brava cuoca! Complimenti anche per la bellissima casa on the Cliff. Bravissime e grazie da Stefania da Sydney 🤗🌈
Grazie, Stefania, e le mando tanti saluti dagli Stati Uniti a Sydney.
It looks tooo delicious!!!! That crunch in the bread & the all the flavors in the olive salad🇮🇹 Spectacular❤️ Grazie to you & your wonderful family🇮🇹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇮🇹
Thank you Joanne, try making bruschette, your family will be delighted!
It’s like being at home with you. I love it❤
I grew my own produce for this summer just for your recipes and my own favorite Korean dishes. I can’t wait to use all the peppers, eggplants, herbs and tomatoes ! Thank you so much for sharing another great recipe to cherish and to share with my family and friends. Your channel is one of my very favorites.
Thank you for sharing your recipes, Giovanna. The bruschetta is a favourite at our house too. Take care.❤
It is for a first date yeah, its fine and fun to improvise , to be just oneself and to do things in a simple way to lough even . Good job guys 💪👏
Thank you so much!!! 🌹
I char a lot of vegetables making salsa. I put my vegetables in paper towels or clean kitchen towels, then into either a paper or plastic bag until cooled. then the skins comeoff with the toweling it's way easier than peeling itoff, which I've done before. Until next time much love.💖💖
Thank you for the tip. I just put them in a paper bag to steam through and cool.
Ciao. alla prossima volta!
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for the instructions. And it was lovely to meet your daughter. I'm sure she is a great cook too.
Oh Giovanna. You make me miss the good old days and I love you.❤️
Don’t miss them, recreate them instead ❤️!
That Crunch at 15:50 gave me the full-body-shivers
My oh My! I must check that out. Sorry!
I usually add a bit of good dense basalmic vinegar along with olive oil to mine. Yours look beautiful. Will be trying the eggplant.
Best Bruschetta ever.! We did really enjoy it.
The recipe looks simple and delicious. Will try it. Pappa and mamma are so adorable.
Thank you for a lovely video! I loved seeing the two of you cook together and then enjoy it with the three of you at the dinner table. It looks delicious!
It's our pleasure. Thank you Carolyn!
So delightful! The flavors seemed to jump off the screen. Such attention to the attractiveness of the dish was amazing. And I’ll loved the comment…not a date dish LOL❣
.Hello from Georgia. Ms. Giovanna, so glad I found you; I love your style and your lovely personality. A nice bonus is your sweet husband (professional test taster?), and today, your lovely daughter. I love bruschetta; I plan on making all three of these. Thank you for sharing; stay well. 🥰
How great is this ❣️3 generations of women cooking together...creating memories ❣️Grazie ❣️😘
Thank you very much! The family that cooks together stays together!!! ❤
Ahhh! Just found you today and this is about my 5th video!! I agree with you about the roasted peppers! We do them on the barbecue grill and blackened them, however! Thank you for the tip about the paper bag! I did not know that! I am so grateful for your videos! Your knowledge and tips are so valuable! ♥️ from Canada Bella! 💋
Welcome my friend!
Dear Giovanna, This was an especially wonderful video to watch with your lovely daughter Nicoletta who certainly mastered her culinary skills from you. It was heartwarming to see you, your husband and daughter at the table enjoying the tasty meal. It was the icing on the cake. Understandably, I am a well pleased subscriber!
Thank you so much! Making and sharing good food makes for beautiful harmony!❤️
Love the recipe. And the color of the nail polish of your daughter. So much summer. Thank you! ❤
It looks so tasty! Yumy Yumy! I can imagine what the magical smells are in your kitchen.💛💙
Thank you so much! 🌹
I enjoy learning from you! My kids and I have enjoyed many delicious meals because of you! Thanks for the meal ideas and inspiration!
Delighted to listen to the family while preparing this, can not wait for bruschetta dish; do it myself. YUM. Another addition to my Christmas holiday menu. Your complexions are clear and fresh. Quality ingredients.
❤❤❤😊
Thank you for the video and lesson! Made these tonight, had to make some concessions for the olive salad but it was still delicious (went with some baby artichoke hearts per the recommendation, forgot the sun dried tomatoes, but it balanced out and the herbs and olive oil really stole the show). It was a good way to trick my dad into eating something healthier too. 😉 He loves bruschetta, even though he still says it wrong (just about everyone where we live does 😅). We ate so much for an afternoon snack that we couldn’t be bothered to even think of dinner. Wishing you all great health.
Great ideas for Thanksgiving...brings back MANY memories of growing up 💕💕💕
They all look so delicious! 💛
Happy Birthday Nicoletta! 🎂
It happens that all of these Bruschette are Vegan as is so much of Sicilian cooking!
@@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca Yes, it's delightful!
Such a nice family! Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge with us, it's invaluable. Grazie tanto, Signora. Dovrò anche visitare la Sicilia un giorno forse.. e apprendere ancora molte cose sulla buona cucina. Anche il più grande rispetto per l'educazione bilinguale della vostra figlia. È una richezza di conoscere diverse lingue. Saluti di Belgio
I will totally be trying this recipe, the bruschettas look delicious 😁
If you try making Bruschetta you'll make it often!
Thank you for sharing your bruschetta recipe. I’m definitely gonna make these. I enjoy all your videos. You have a beautiful family. Cheers!
Thank you, Vittorio! Make bruschetta often and Buon Appetito!
This olive salad is used on the Famous Mustalaffa Sandwich in New Orleans. Devine. Italian is one of New Orleans " Many Flavors" of food !
Yes, you are right, Muffoletta is a GREAT Sandwich!
Sooooo glad I found your Channel. I can’t wait to make bruschetta ❤

Bruschetta is one of my favorite dishes. You guys did it exactly the way I like it. I bookmarked this vid for future reference. Another excellent and inspiring work! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 🥰
Burnt toast, that’s memories of my Sicilian pops.
We treasure those memories!
I loved this video! Your family is so lovely! Thank you for sharing and teaching us!
Everything about this video is perfect, the simplicity of, the easiness of, I love the kitchen and the home, family feeling to it, the volume of the soundtrack in the background, the mamma like tone of voice, the deliciousness of the recipe, the way she talks, the humbleness of it all, it´s about passing on to us their tradition and history, not one bit pretentious and snob, so, so good and it even brings you a sense of peace, absolutely awesome. Amo questa signora e la sua famiglia.
Grazie Mille 🙏
Thank you ladies... beautiful... enjoyed this much.... saludos desde Puerto Rico!!
Beautiful colours from Italy ❤
Looks delicious! Love all your videos!
Thank You, Jackie!
🌺yes this was so fun to watch! I am definitely going to try these yum! Thank you so very much!
what an awesome video! Thank you -- I plan to make this for date night!
Enjoyed this very much. Your daughter is beautiful 😊
Love your channel Giovannal! Had to smile when your daughter says 'it needs a touch more salt'. The Italian tilt of the head, 'ok' 😅.
I’m also smiling! 😍
Oh, it’s so wonderful to see you all!! The bruschette look incredible. I’m going to try them. I’m wondering how I can make the peppers since I don’t have a gas stove. Maybe broil them? Anyway, best wishes to you all!! 🥰 Marlene
Yes. I think that using the broiler is a good possibility, but more work to get them evenly charred. This is why I've always had a gas stove, because my family and I love roasted peppers! Let me know how they turn out!
Presentable and palatable
Beautiful family & looks delicious meal!!!
Thank you!
I can't wait to make the bruschetti. Your family seems very fun.
Bruschetta is fun and so is my family. Thank You!
Merhabalar efendim. Yine harikasınız, çok sevdiğim patlıcan ve değişik tatda, teşekkürler❤
I was so disappointed in the food we had in Italy. The bacon was served raw everywhere. I thought how sad I like American Italian food better. I’m afraid it was all tourist food. This looks phenomenal. I grill my tortilla the same way. My other favorite bruschetta is goat cheese with green tomato preserves that I made. Definitely trying these!
Your recipe looks delicious. I know I will love it. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Brilliant video. Simple ingredients quality food I love it
What a lovely family❤thank you for sharing your homemade recipes. Can't wait to try the olive salad. I can imagine the aroma.☺Molte grazi!
Thank you! Enjoy every bite!
Thank you, @@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca Belated Happy Birthday to Nicoletta! :)
Welcome back! I’ve missed your recipes
Thank You so much, Anna, and Grazie Tanto for your Welcome!
Just like my Dad, Romolo Pagano, used to make! 🥰
Love all your videos!
One of my favorite dish 💋
Im obsessed! ❤
That looked VERY delicious! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos and love seeing your beautiful daughter cooking with you in the kitchen!
I just love how you present your videos. Very personable and so authentic. Well done! Can't wait to make these.
Buonissime le tue bruschette,bellissimo vederti con Nicoletta,il problema è che fanno venire troppa acquolina in bocca!!un abbraccio e grazie sempre
Thank you to my Dear Cousin Licia in Ragusa! Grazie Mia Cara! 🌹
You are a ❤ wonderful Cook Thank You
delicious and so crunchy🌷
Love it!
Great! No stress and food made with love. I like it 👍🏻👋🏻🇬🇧
The olive salad is amazing. Made it for a get together tonight. I didn’t have dry cured olives and it wasn’t worth $6 in gas to go get some. I used kalamatas.
Yes, of course, l would have done the same!
