Costantino is a Italian first name (=Constantine, as ancient Roman emperor).
Costantini is a family name derived from Constantino, putting a -i instead of -o: it's typical way of patronymic names (IE names derived from father first name):
eg Dante Alighieri, because his father was named Alighiero

The other probably read crostini an appetizer in Italy. Try this site, most other will charge to look up the origin, and maybe this one also. Hope the link gets you started.
I'm sorry, I did not mean for the other answerer to go away, it was an honest mistake.
