Cesare Casella

Teaches at La Scuola at Eataly Flatiron

Chef Cesare Casella is best known as the chef with the rosemary. He is rarely without a small bouquet springing from his jacket pocket, a signature that represents his dedication to fresh ingredients, his herb-inflected cuisine and his childhood in the Tuscan countryside where rosemary grew wild and his family ran a small trattoria, Vipore, outside of Lucca.

Chef Casella is a favorite with the media, appearing on hit shows such as “Iron Chef,” “Top Chef,” “Master Chef Australia,” “Best Thing I Ever Ate,” “No Reservations,” “Food Porn,” and “After Hours with Daniel Boulud.” He has been featured in prominent print publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, and Men’s Health; and his movements are tracked by bloggers and food websites such as Grubstreet, Eater and SeriousEats.

Most recently, Casella was the founder, creator and Executive Chef of Salumeria Rosi, the Italian-style small plates delicatessen in New York City, which opened in 2008. Salumeria Rosi received a notable “Dining Brief” by the New York Times’ Frank Bruni and was honored with the title of “Best Meatballs” and “Critic’s Choice” by New York Magazine. Following the success of Salumeria Rosi, Chef Casella opened his traditional modern Italian restaurant, Ristorante Rosi in September 2012 on New York’s Madison Avenue. In 2007, Casella was the recipient of Food Arts magazine’s “Silver Spoon Award,” and in 2005, Forbes awarded his restaurant Maremma with three stars and New York Magazine called it one of the Top 5 “Best New Restaurants.” His first solo New York restaurant, Beppe, opened in New York in 2001 following several years as Executive Chef of Pino Luongo’s Coco Pazzo.
