CasaPaella | Our Chef

CasaPaella

Entertaining friends and family has never been easier. With a variety of takeout restaurants and menus, our lives have become simplified; however, catering has become expensive and menus are often limited. With our hectic schedules we have little time to spend in the kitchen, let alone plan a dinner. At CasaPaella you can relax, sit back, and still offer something new and innovative for the distinguished palate.

The paella is a complete meal! Add salad and bread and you've got yourself a gourmet dinner.

CasaPaella can prepare your next intimate dinner for fifteen or your party for 200. Each paella is made fresh and delivered hot. CasaPaella's presentation is unlike any you have ever seen.

Our Chef and Recipe

If you have been fortunate to stand in line at the local "Feria de Sevilla" in Washington DC and Maryland, you probably already tasted her delicious paella. Yes, her stand was the one with the long lines where patrons stood for hours just waiting for Rosita's arrival.

A native of Valencia, Spain, Rosita Porta Vilella watched her mother as she diligently prepared paella on Sunday afternoons to the delight of family and friends. Her father, who owned the local butcher shop, provided his wife with the freshest and best cuts of meats and seafood - a tradition we at CasaPaella bring to your table!

Rosita spent a lifetime perfecting the paella with her own secret recipe. Her family and friends have enjoyed this delicious dish for over half a century. Like her mother, she started with the traditional "paellera," hand picked her vegetables, visited the best butcher shops in town, and sought out the best seafood in the area. She shopped for each paella individually to ensure that only the day's ingredients were used - no frozen ingredients ever!
Rosita's motto: "When you compromise quality, you compromise taste!"
Hers is not just a paella, it is a masterpiece - a true work of art!

Today, you can experience the same unique recipe, the same hand picked ingredients, and the same individualized attention by our experienced chefs - personally trained by Rosita.
And, you can enjoy it at a convenient location - your home or business. We will deliver it hot and ready to eat - right to your table!
