PAULA DILULLO, General Manager of THE BEACH ROSE CAFE

Leading Ladies 2023

Posted

Paula DiLullo’s path to becoming the general manager of THE BEACH ROSE CAFE has been anything but straightfor- ward. Born and raised in NYC, Paula’s first job (at 14) was an overnight shift at a din- er. From there, she never stopped; earning a degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston, working as a Marketing Director, an elopement and divorce, two stints in law school, and traveling the country are just a handful of her life experiences.

Paula moved back to RI in 2019, where she married her current husband and worked for a business litigation law firm. In- spiration struck her mother to open “a sea- side cafe offering simple food done right,” open all year featuring gluten-free fare and hipster-meets-grandma decor. Her mom wrote a note on the fridge reading simply, “Start a Family Business.” This manifested in less than a year when The Beach Rose Cafe opened last summer, following plen- ty of challenges and a soft-launch catering

event Paula was committed to coordinat- ing well into day three of being in labor with her son. “I do it because I love food, family, and hard work. I see small business- es as the pulsing life force of any communi- ty and I’m honored to participate.”
