Now comes news that Joe Cerniglia was living a rather troubled life. He had been separated from his wife, who was the mother of his 3 children, and was having an affair with his Pastry chef at Campania Restaurant, in Fair Lawn New Jersey. Her name is Jessica Marotta.
The 27-year-old Jessica Marotta, who had been working for Cerniglia for the past 3 years, started off as a waitress at the restaurant, and moved up to pastry chef after about a year.
Marotta is also a co-owner of the Campania Restaurant that Joseph Cerniglia ran. According to her mother Anna, she is “devastated” by the suicide. Jessica isn’t talking to reporters, and would rather be left along while she mourns the death of Cerniglia.
