What makes our Naples’ paella so special? Our paella is made from only the finest ingredients dating back to 16th Century Spain. During the preparation process, our chefs enthusiastically combine chicken and sausage with imported saffron and Bomba rice in large shallow pans, creating a unique, gentle flavor, like nothing you’ve encountered before. For catered affairs, the meat can be substituted or combined with seafood, and vegan options are also available, so there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy!
