Five-star Italian cuisine in the heart of Los Angeles. Baguette - A fresh bread is perfect, grilled till is has a nice crunch. Tomatoes - I used heirloom tomatoes for this recipe but feel free to use any tomatoes you'd like. Garlic - Use as much or little as you like. Onion - Today I used red onion as I find it has the best flavor raw.
