Spoleto, a popular chain of Italian restaurants in Brazil, Mexico and Costa Rica, has chosen Central Florida for its first location as it expands into America. Spoleto began in 1999, when restaurateurs Eduardo Ourivio and Mário Chady developed the concept in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Brazil is home to the largest population of Italians outside of Italy – more than 25 million people. America’s first Spoleto is set for the UCF campus and a second location is planned for Winter Park.
Spoleto combines the speed of fast casual service with the sophistication and gourmet-quality food of your favorite Italian restaurant. Guests play Chef and choose from pasta, flatbreads, salads and soups while interacting with culinary experts to experiment with a variety of fresh, organic when possible ingredients – including 30 toppings – to create their own recipe to their taste and preference. It all takes place in a modern setting designed to create the perfect experience for food, fun and friends.
Spoleto puts a premium on fresh, local and sustainable ingredients when possible, as well as using healthy cooking techniques. Welcome to the neighborhood friends!
