This wonderful, simple, and delicious salad from Tuscany works especially well with day-old, or even grilled bread. Although it’s traditionally made with Italian bread, I prefer it with a crusty French baguette or a loaf of stale rosemary bread. Use fresh herbs if possible and ripe juicy tomatoes. If ripe tomatoes are unavailable, use canned Italian tomatoes, drained, or cherry tomatoes, halved. Ingredients and amounts can vary greatly, so use your imagination.

I’m hoping this is similar to the St. Louis at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. Maybe substitute and increase basil for the parsley.
“Rich and satisfying, this main course from L’Osteria del Forno in San Francisco is similar to cannelloni. At the restaurant, they serve the crepes in individual gratin dishes. "
