MayQueen,

Bruschetta is traditionally served warm, shortly after being roasted.
It is traditionally rubbed (sanded) with a garlic clove before the toppings are put on. As all of this is done right after it is grilled, it is served warm.

Crostini is served at room temperature and traditionally with different toppings than bruschetta. It is traditionally toasted in the oven, not on the grill.

Traditions aside, there are no food police at your house, are there?
