Bvlgari's pizza restaurant serves hot summer slices

Following Seu's visit, resident pizza chef Simone Capitanio will continue serving the menu through October.

Italian remains one of the most popular international cuisines in China, with pizza, pasta and gelato attracting growing interest among younger consumers seeking authentic dining experiences. Chef collaborations and limited-time culinary programs have become increasingly common as restaurants and hotels introduce regional specialties and visiting chefs to local audiences.

In addition to Pizza Bar, the hotel is offering a selection of Italian gelato recipes developed by the hotel's Il Ristorante Chef de Cuisine Niko Romito. Flavors include chocolate, pistachio, hazelnut, raspberry, and lemon with basil, as well as sorbets inspired by southern Italian traditions.

Il Gazebo's garden space overlooking the Liangma River serves as the setting for the summer dining program, which combines Italian culinary traditions with seasonal outdoor dining.

As culinary exchanges between China and Italy continue to expand, initiatives such as Pizza Bar provide local diners with opportunities to experience regional Italian food culture and contemporary interpretations of traditional dishes.
