Sun on your face. Sea breeze in your mind. Fortuna Terrazza brings the Amalfi dream to Craig Road, and it feels like a little escape.
From the team behind Fortuna Italian Trattoria, this new brunch terrace and café opened in 2025 just steps from its sister spot. It’s lighter. It’s easier. It’s where you drift in, exhale, and stay.
Think bright lemons, soft herbs, and the scent of olive oil. Flaky sfogliatelle with morning cappuccinos. Grilled prawns, citrus salads, and warm focaccia torn by hand. A crisp spritz at golden hour.
Here, the pace slows. The terrace glows. Laughter carries, music hums, and plates arrive that taste like a long holiday.
Fortuna Terrazza is your sunny side of the day. Walk in from morning to dusk. Stay for one bite and end up with three.
Come for the view of Craig Road and leave with a new favorite ritual. Steps from Fortuna, yet a world of its own.

Detailed Dish Reviews & Analysis
Folded Eggs alla Diavola – Rating: 4/5
Price: $26
Description: This dish represents an innovative fusion of breakfast and pizza traditions. The foundation is Fortuna’s fried pizzetta (a small pizza base), which provides a crispy, golden platform. The build includes:
- Ricotta spread as the base layer
- Wilted spinach for earthiness
- Tender folded eggs (similar to French-style scrambled eggs)
- Salamino Napoletano (spicy Neapolitan salami) strips
- Crispy shallots for textural contrast
- Fresh chilli threads for heat
Taste Profile: This dish successfully balances richness with brightness. The creamy ricotta and soft eggs are cut through by the spicy, savory salamino, while the spinach adds nutritional value and a subtle bitterness. The fried pizzetta base provides satisfying crunch and acts as an edible plate.
Strengths:
- Well-balanced flavors with appropriate heat level
- Excellent textural contrast between crispy base and creamy toppings
- Hearty and filling portion
- Creative presentation that elevates typical brunch fare
- Quality ingredients shine through
Why Not 5/5?: While exceptionally good, the dish stops just short of perfection, likely due to minor execution details or perhaps the richness becoming slightly overwhelming toward the end.
Caprese Panuozzi – Rating: 2/5
Description: This panuozzo attempts to reimagine the classic Caprese salad (tomato, mozzarella, basil) within Fortuna’s folded pizza dough.
Components:
- Fortuna’s signature pizza dough, folded
- Marinated ox heart tomatoes
- Mozzarella (or stracciatella-like cheese)
- Fresh basil
Critical Analysis:
What Went Wrong:
- Marinade Imbalance: The ox heart tomatoes, while naturally sweet and juicy, were over-marinated, resulting in excessive acidity that dominated the palate
- Cheese Consistency Issue: The mozzarella was unusually runny, to the point of being mistaken for stracciatella (a creamier, more liquid cheese). This created structural problems
- Sogginess: The tomato marinade and liquidy cheese soaked into the pizza dough, creating an unpleasantly soggy interior
- Lack of Binding: Without a proper binder or structural element, the filling didn’t adhere to the bread, making it difficult to eat as an assembled sandwich
- Conceptual Disconnect: The components didn’t harmonize; they remained separate elements rather than a cohesive dish
Potential Fixes:
- Reduce marinade acidity or drain tomatoes better before assembly
- Use a firmer mozzarella or create a barrier (like a pesto or oil-based spread) between wet ingredients and dough
- Consider adding a binding element like ricotta or a drier cheese
- Toast or bake the panuozzo after assembly to help meld components
Amalfi Ravioli – Rating: 2/5
Price: $29
Description: This pasta dish aims to capture the essence of the Amalfi Coast with citrus-forward flavors and premium seafood.
Components:
- House-made ravioli filled with crab and ricotta
- Limoncello sauce (cream-based with limoncello liqueur)
- Fresh basil
- Chilli oil
Detailed Analysis:
The Sauce – Outstanding: The limoncello sauce deserves special mention as the dish’s standout element. The balance of cream, citrus from the limoncello, aromatic basil, and gentle heat from chilli oil creates a sophisticated, restaurant-quality sauce that captures Amalfi Coast dining.
The Ravioli – Disappointing: Unfortunately, the pasta itself significantly undermines the experience:
- Dough Texture: The ravioli dough was tough and slightly dry, suggesting either over-working, insufficient hydration, or over-cooking
- Thick Rims: The sealed edges were excessively thick and doughy, creating an unpleasant, heavy mouthfeel that overshadowed the delicate filling
- Structural Issues: At least one ravioli arrived cracked, indicating either rolling too thin in spots, insufficient sealing, or handling problems
- Filling-to-Pasta Ratio: The thick dough meant too much pasta relative to the crab-ricotta filling
The Disconnect: The ravioli quality doesn’t match the sauce sophistication or the $29 price point. Fresh pasta should be tender, delicate, and barely there—allowing the filling and sauce to shine. Here, the pasta demands attention for the wrong reasons.
Recipe Recreation: Folded Eggs alla Diavola
Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Pizzetta Base:
- 400g pizza dough (use high-quality Italian pizza dough or make from scratch)
- Olive oil for frying
- Semolina flour for dusting
For the Ricotta Spread:
- 150g fresh ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 clove garlic, very finely minced (optional)
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
For the Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Additional Toppings:
- 100g fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 80g salamino Napoletano or spicy salami, sliced into strips
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ricotta Spread
- In a small bowl, combine ricotta, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic (if using), and lemon zest
- Mix until smooth and creamy
- Taste and adjust seasoning
- Refrigerate until ready to use
Step 2: Make the Fried Pizzetta
- Divide pizza dough into 2 portions (approximately 200g each)
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a round about 20-22cm in diameter and 3-4mm thick
- Heat 2-3cm of olive oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C (350°F)
- Carefully slide one dough round into the hot oil
- Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and puffy, turning once
- Remove and drain on paper towels
- Repeat with second dough round
- Keep warm in a low oven (80°C/175°F)
Step 3: Prepare the Crispy Shallots
- Thinly slice shallots into rings
- In a small pan, heat 3-4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat
- Add shallots and fry, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy (4-5 minutes)
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels
- Season lightly with salt
Step 4: Cook the Spinach
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat
- Add spinach and cook until just wilted (1-2 minutes)
- Season with salt and pepper
- Drain any excess liquid and set aside
Step 5: Prepare the Folded Eggs
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper
- Whisk gently until combined (don’t over-beat)
- Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat
- Pour in egg mixture
- Using a spatula, gently push eggs from edges to center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to edges
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny (soft scrambled texture), remove from heat
- Gently fold eggs over themselves 2-3 times to create layers
Step 6: Assemble the Dish
- Place warm pizzetta on serving plates
- Spread ricotta mixture evenly over each base
- Distribute wilted spinach over ricotta
- Gently place folded eggs on top
- Arrange salamino strips over and around eggs
- Top with crispy shallots
- Scatter fresh chilli slices
- Garnish with basil leaves
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
- Serve immediately
Cooking Tips
- The pizza dough should be at room temperature for easier rolling
- Oil temperature is crucial—too hot and the pizzetta will burn outside while remaining raw inside
- Don’t overcook the eggs; they should remain creamy
- Assemble quickly so all components are warm when serving
