This April, Popinjays merges its contemporary elegance with the soulful, tradition-driven cooking of Guest Chef Paolo Vitaletti, together with Popinjays’ Chef de Cuisine, Paolo Tolleretti. This special collaboration unites the sleek rooftop energy of Hong Kong with the heartfelt essence of Rome.
Born and raised in the Eternal City, Chef Paolo Vitaletti was shaped by his upbringing as the son of a butcher and the cherished family recipes of his mother, Pia. A humble yet highly respected figure in Bangkok’s dining scene, Paolo co-founded Appia in 2013, a beloved Roman trattoria celebrated for rustic, heartfelt dishes praised by The New York Times for their genuine simplicity and depth. As the co-author of the acclaimed cookbook The Roads to Rome with Jarrett Wrisley — a tribute to Roman culinary traditions and artisan producers — Paolo brings a profound respect for heritage to the Popinjays kitchen.
