What's Going On

Barilla has a new cook in its kitchen. Celebrity Chef David Rocco has signed on to become the pasta maker’s brand ambassador. David will take part in promotions, public relations initiatives, and social media for the brand. He will also develop pasta recipes to be shared with consumers. David’s first major campaign for Barilla will be for an initiative called “Share the Table,” to promote the importance of families eating together.
