Step into Italy’s Amalfi Coast for a unique dining experience, with dishes like Buongiorno Toast and Aglio & Olio Benedict

Step into Italy’s Amalfi Coast to experience a unique dining experience that combines the charm of La Dolce Vita Italiana and the beauty of Singapore.

Following the incredible success of Fortuna Italian Trattoria, which proudly earned its spot as Number 28 in Asia’s Top 50 Best Pizza, Fortuna Terrazza brings the same passion for authenticity, quality, and hospitality to its Tanjong Pagar outlet.

As an avid fan of Italian food, I embarked on a journey to taste Fortuna Terrazza’s extensive menu. The sunny, alfresco charm already made the restaurant high on my list before I even entered. 

My colleague and I were warmly greeted by the staff in Italian. Honestly, we struggled to make sense of what the signore was saying but his bubbly salute was telling enough.

We were ushered to a table nearest to the entrance — no complaints because it almost felt like I was sitting under the gazebo, but in the aircon. Phew, it was a warm day.

It was difficult to choose between their menu’s offerings as a die-hard lover of Italian cuisine. We eventually settled for the Buongiorno Toast (S$26), Aglio & Olio Benedict (S$24), and Pork Cotoletta Parmigiana (S$34).

The Buongiorno Toast is a thick cut maple glazed bacon dish with folded eggs, provolone cheese, truffle mayonnaise, served on a sourdough slice.

I knew this dish would probably taste good just by its name. I was right, this dish was a hit for both my colleague and I. The consensus was the taste of the pork — it was not too salty, yet well-sweetened, and not too hard despite being so thick. Pair it with the omelette, and sourdough slice. It made me feel like I was really brought into the Amalfi Coast. 

The second dish we ordered was the Aglio & Olio Benedict, a delectable plate of Aglio Olio potato rosti, two poached eggs, wilted greens, hollandaise sauce, and chives.

Both my colleague and I thought we were ordering a plate of pasta at the thought of Aglio Olio. We were surprised to see none of that when the dish was served, with the restaurant’s chef personally coming over to drizzle whipped hollandaise sauce atop the eggs. How aesthetic. I liked this dish a lot too for the lightness and fluffiness of the hollandaise sauce. It paired extremely well with the crisp of the rosti, hitting that sweet spot between crunch and moistness.

The last main we ordered was the Pork Cotoletta Parmigiana, constructed with Grissini crumbled pork, tomato sauce, fior di latte, arugula salad, shaved parmigiano and basil oil. I found the pork slightly too tough but if you pair it with the stretchy mozzarella, it will taste slightly like pizza.

It was a warm day, so we naturally reached for something refreshing to cool off. The In-House Fresh Lemonade (S$6) hit the spot with its bright, zesty flavour. For something richer, we tried the Nutelloso (S$14) — a decadent blend of coffee crema, milk, Nutella, and whipped cream. The Pistacchio 2.0 (S$14) was another indulgent pick, featuring coffee crema layered with milk, pistachio cream, and a crunchy crumble topping.

I came for the vibes but stayed for the food. Sadly, we were too full to continue with desserts, which is still something I think about up till today. 

I’ll definitely be back again to try other options on their menu and to have a taste of their pastries. Will I see you there?
