CHEF Paul funk

A Wisconsin native, Executive Chef Paul Funk's culinary journey began early, inspired by his grandmother and his love of cooking simple
dishes as a child. His career truly took off when he moved to Colorado, training as a culinary apprentice at Keystone Resort, where he spent three years mastering a variety of cooking styles. His passion for farm-to-table dining and fine-dining experiences has been a consistent thread throughout his career. After a stint in France and Italy, where he deepened his
understanding of Mediterranean cuisine and simple, quality ingredients, he returned to the U.S. and built his reputation at notable restaurants and hotels in Milwaukee.

At Tre Rivali, Chef brings bold, diverse flavors from across the Mediterranean, with a focus on Turkish, Syrian, and Moroccan cuisines, expanding beyond the traditional Italian base. His vision introduces a large-format legacy dish for special occasions and continues evolving the menu with fresh, new takes on Mediterranean fare and New American brunch dishes. Chef's
commitment to guest experience and hospitality is key, ensuring that every visit to Tre Rivali feels special and memorable for both locals and travelers alike.

Chef describes Milwaukee as “the just-right city” with everything from culture to sports, while still maintaining a small-town feel. He is proud to be part of Milwaukee's collaborative chef community, working with local purveyors and farms to highlight the best of the region’s organic bounty. Balancing his role as a father of two young boys and husband, family is central to his
life. In his downtime, he enjoys woodworking and is a devoted fan of The Grateful Dead, passions that influence his creative and thoughtful approach to cooking.
