Appearances include The Secret Life of..., After Hours with Daniel Boulud, Top Chef, ABC's Nightline, FOX News, New York 1, The Martha Stewart Show, Iron Chef America, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, The Best Thing Ever, and FOX 5's Good Day Café.

2000

He was behind celebrated New York restaurants such as Beppe and Maremma in the 2000s.

These days, Chef Casella acts as Chief of the Department of Nourishment Arts at the Center for Discovery nestled in the Catskills and as Dean of Italian Studies at the International Culinary Center.

He operates his own salumi company, Casella's Salumi, where he makes prosciutto from heritage breed pigs, true to the classic Italian recipes and flavors of his childhood in Tuscany.

He has written several books, including True Tuscan, The Fundamental Techniques of Italian Cooking, and Feeding the Heart.

Casella learned the trade at Vipore, the trattoria owned by his parents, Rosa and Pietro, outside of Lucca, Italy.

At age 14, Casella enrolled in the Culinary Institute Ferdinando Martini, in Montecatini, Italy, against his parents' wishes.

After graduating, he worked in his parents' trattoria to transform Vipore from a local favorite to a regional and international destination.

He began developing herbal cuisine, including a garden with over 40 aromatic herbs, and updating traditional Italian recipes.

Casella's lamb meatballs held the Number One spot in New York Magazine's Best Meatballs in New York City.

Maremma closed within three years due to poor location.

He also launched Casella's Salumi, which distributes products nationally.

Growing up in Tuscany, one of Casella's jobs was helping make the country-cured meats his family restaurant was famous for, and when he got older, he would help the norcini, the old-school butchers who traveled from farmer to farmer each winter, prepare the prosciutti.
