Paola was born in Argentina, the only daughter of a middle-class family. Her paternal and maternal grandparents are both from Italy. Her father, the Italian Roberto Carosella, was a photographer and racing driver, while her mother, Irma Polverari, built a successful career as a lawyer.[1]
She was introduced to the kitchen by her grandmothers, who planted and harvested the foods to be prepared; after finishing the equivalent to high school in the country, she began working in restaurants in Buenos Aires. Paola currently works at MasterChef Brazil as a juror alongside Brazilian Henrique Fogaça and French chef Érick Jacquin.
On November 7, 2016, Paola released her first book which is a mix of autobiography and a collection of recipes, called "Todas as sextas" (Every Friday).
She has a daughter named Francesca (born 2011), from a previous relationship.
