Key risk: Basic bruschetta (grilled bread + tomato + oil) is one of Italy's safest dishes for most allergens. The only allergen is wheat from the bread. The risk is add-on toppings that restaurants layer onto bruschetta: mozzarella, ricotta, or cured fish like bottarga. Classic tomato bruschetta has neither.
