Nocella’s Haddonfield a Father-and-Son Business in Year Eight
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Joseph Nocella, Jr. returns to his family eatery to work alongside his dad. Together, the pair are expanding their menu and building out the business that bears their name.
Owner Christos Prentzas says his family is touched by the outpouring of love they've received since the fire. They ask that well-wishers focus their efforts on employees who are temporarily out of work until the diner can be repaired.
Mario DeJesse hadn’t used his culinary degree professionally in years, until his girlfriend, Nancy Panzano, helped him believe it could fuel his next successful business venture. Now they're sharing his gourmet baked goods with customers at a new Haddon Avenue storefront.
