Paolo Collavini Joins Tivano as Chef de Cuisine

Tivano, the Italian restaurant at The Temple House in Chengdu, China, has appointed Paolo Collavini as Chef de Cuisine.

An Italian native, Chef Paolo has over 30 years of experience working with renowned five-star resorts, luxury hotel groups and restaurants around the world.

Paolo Collavini cultivated his passion for authentic Italian cuisine while growing up in Cernobbio, a small village close to Lake Como and developed an appreciation for fine dining through his other great passion, travelling. Both of these passions have been fuelled by his international culinary career – he has lived in 14 different countries over the past 24 years.

Drawing from the traditional Southern, Central and Northern Italian dishes that influence his repertoire, Paolo has created a new menu for Tivano featuring traditional-style pizzas made in-house and home-made sauces. Among Paolo’s favorites on the new menu are the Risotto ai Frutti di Mare, Tagliata di Manzo and Gorgonzola e Pere Pizza.

“Tivano embodies my favourite restaurant style – simple and elegant,” said Chef Paolo. “My goal is to preserve the traditions of Italian cuisine, uphold the simple sophistication of Tivano, and at the same time continue to expand our offerings by bringing in more authentic flavours from Italy’s different regions.”
