The vibe? Absolutely electric! From the lively bottomless Italian feasts, to cozy and chic dates set in an interior adorned with mirrors and a stunning mural by Claudia Miranda (don’t miss her ‘Paint and Sip” sessions on Sundays evenings!), Fortuna is a feast for the senses.

The menu is a love letter to Italian cuisine: think homemade pasta like lamb ragù and Provolone torched at your table, and the irresistible maltagliati with truffle and mushrooms. And the leopard crust pizzas? Divine. Try the Diavola with spicy salami, mushrooms, and Burrata.

Start with in-house focaccia and classic salumi, then dive into the cucumber and ricotta mint salad or truffle fries. Save room for the dreamy tiramisu and the cannolo ricotta pistachio. Pair it all with inventive cocktails (we highly recommend asking for a Purple Love mocktail) or a bottomless Aperol Spritz.

Located in Darlinghurst (and soon Singapore!), Fortuna isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of Italian culture. Perfect for a hearty feast (bottomless pizza anyone?!), a fun karaoke night, or a chill evening with friends, Fortuna promises an experience full of love, laughter, and a dash of fortune.
