Of Italian-American descent, Curatola was born in and grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, where his boyhood paper route allowed him to meet many performers. By 2007, he had moved to Saddle River, New Jersey. He sings and plays guitar, and occasionally performs with the band Chicago.

Before his acting career, Curatola worked as masonry contractor. At his wife's suggestion, he studied acting in the early 1990s and began getting occasional acting roles, including in the series Law & Order. Towards the end of the decade, he appeared in productions such as Gotti (1996), and Exiled (1998). He then landed a regular role in the drama series The Sopranos as New York mobster Johnny Sack. He played the role for all six seasons from 1999 to 2007 and was nominated for a SAG Award twice for it. Curatola's later credits include The Good Wife, Blue Bloods, The Blacklist, Person of Interest, Law & Order: SVU, and the 2012 film Killing Them Softly. He has also taught acting.

In 2007, Curatola appeared in a The Sopranos parody advertisement for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential exploratory committee, alongside Hillary and Bill Clinton. In 2009, Curatola was named to the Gaming, Sports, and Entertainment subcommittee transition team of then Governor-elect Chris Christie of New Jersey.
