Fortuna to collaborate with World No. 1 pizza chef Diego Vitagliano and Pizzeria Da Michele this month
Pizza lovers, clear your calendars this month. Italian restaurant Fortuna – freshly minted as Singapore's second-best pizzeria in the 50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific 2025 awards – is pulling out all the stops for its first birthday celebration. Expect not just one, but two pop-ups at the end of this month – both collaborations with some of the world's most legendary pizzerias.
First up, from May 28 to 30, Fortuna welcomes Diego Vitagliano, crowned Italy's Number One pizza chef and second in the world, to its humble digs in Duxton. For three nights only, Diego will take over the kitchen at Fortuna with two specially crafted menus each evening.
Ease into the night with a five-course early dining menu (5pm to 6.30pm, $60 per person), or go all in with a seven-course signature collaboration menu at 6.30pm or 8.30pm ($160 per couple).
Expect bold Southern Italian flavours, creative twists on classics, and showstoppers like the Mambo d'Oriente — a crispy pizza topped with red prawn tartare, escarole, and miso powder. There's also Spaghetto della Mezzanotte and the irresistible Ab-braciami with Angus carpaccio. Naturally, Italian wine pairings will be flowing at an additional $128 per couple.
Fast forward to May 31, and Fortuna is keeping the party rolling with a double birthday bash with none other than Pizzeria Da Michele – yes, that legendary Naples pizzeria that Julia Roberts dined at in Eat Pray Love. The brand opened its first Singapore outpost last year to winning success, and the two restaurants will be holding a late-night pizza party from 10pm till midnight.
That's two hours of free-flowing pizzas – chef's selection, of course – and a list of wines, beers, and sodas to wash it all down. These are all available for one night only at just $55 per person.
