The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has signed on to partner with a popular restaurant in North Bergen, N.J. John Centrella, owner of Jersey Meatball Company, gushed about working with the mom of four despite her current troubles with the law.
"I think they're really good people. Teresa's more [like] my marking partner. Like Michael Jordan is to Nike, that is what Teresa is for me. She's my spokesperson. She markets her products and my menu."

Centrella isn't worried about the possibility that Giudice could be going to prison for 27 months while her husband Joe could get up to 46 months after the couple pleaded guilty to fraud charges on March 4. In fact, he insisted he's not looking to get any money from him.
"I own the business, I'm not worried about anything from them because I'm not expecting anything from them. We're not business partners. I don't get involved in their financial stuff. Money wise, I don't talk to them about things."
Still, Centrella could not avoid the fact that several businesses are steering clear of the reality TV couple. But he hasn't let used that to form his opinion about them.
"They've been good and they didn't do no bad to me. Joe has already got his hands dirty, showing my cooks how to make the meatballs and sauce. There is nothing better than learning from the person who wrote the cookbook!"
Teresa and Joe are scheduled to be sentenced on July 8.
