Parkview Tasting Event on 21 August, 2026
Italian Cooking, Simply Done
At the heart of Parkview’s Italian concept is a simple philosophy: “Cooking is the art of transforming simplicity into delight.” The menu showcases authentic Italian flavors through carefully selected seasonal ingredients and precise execution, allowing the natural character of each ingredient to shine. Contemporary techniques and thoughtful combinations add a modern touch while staying true to the essence of traditional Italian cooking.
Executive Chef Fabio Vitale
Leading this culinary direction is Executive Chef Fabio Vitale, whose career spans Italy, France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Qatar and Vietnam. Hailing from Naples, Italy, Chef Fabio developed his passion for cooking in his family kitchen, where food was deeply connected to tradition and the use of fresh, natural ingredients. His international career includes working alongside Michelin-starred Chef Alain Dutournier in France and with renowned luxury hospitality brands across multiple countries. He also served as Executive Sous Chef at La Posta Vecchia Hotel, a Relais & Châteaux property in Italy, where he and his team earned the property’s first Michelin star.
At Parkview, Chef Fabio draws on this international experience while remaining grounded in the fundamentals of Italian cuisine: quality ingredients, balance, and simplicity.
A Taste of Italy, Paired with Italian Wines
At the tasting event, guests experienced a six-course menu that embodied Chef Fabio’s philosophy, including Bluefin Tuna Tartare, Raviolo alla Carbonara, and the special side-table service Cannolo alla Siciliana. The launch tasting featured a selection of Chef Fabio's signature creations paired with Italian wines, offering guests an immersive introduction to the new menu.
Exclusive tasting menu featuring Chef Fabio’s signature dishes and Italian wine pairings
Beyond the tasting menu, Parkview’s Italian offering features signature dishes including Carpaccio di Manzo, Risotto alla Barbabietola, Merluzzo Nero “Acqua Pazza”, spicy Piccantissima Pizza, and classic dessert Double Chocolate Millefeuille with Salted Rum Gelato.
Regional Tradition, Local Provenance
While deeply rooted in Italian culinary traditions, Parkview’s menu is also shaped by New World Saigon’s Partners in Provenance—the hotel’s commitment to quality ingredients and responsible practices.
Organic fruits and vegetables are sourced from trusted farms in Da Lat, while kale, coriander, and spring onions are harvested from the hotel's own hydroponic garden. The culinary team also uses cage-free eggs, supporting both ingredient quality and more responsible food practices.
This approach allows Parkview to stay true to the principles of Italian cooking while making the most of Vietnam’s fresh, seasonal produce.

The new Italian dining concept is available for both lunch and dinner through À La Carte and Set Menu offerings.
