This summer, the Nasellos will be visiting Tony’s family in Sicily, and they look forward to coming back to the Lodge soon with an authentic Sicilian menu. This experience led to more great North Dakota adventures, including cooking for Banquet in a Field and at the Coteau des Prairies Lodge. In the summer of 2012, the Nasellos embarked on a legendary family experience called Lost on the Prairie, during which they spent every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day visiting a new place in North Dakota and blogging about it.

Today, Tony is the general manager of the Hotel Donaldson, and Sarah develops recipes and writes a weekly food column for The Forum. They welcomed their son, Giovanni, in 2004, and operated Sarello’s until 2015. After working together aboard luxury cruise ships throughout the 1990s, Tony and Sarah returned to Fargo, Sarah’s hometown, in 2000 to open their restaurant, Sarello’s, and start a family.
