Spoleto (Portuguese pronunciation: [spoˈletu]) is a Brazilian restaurant chain that develops the concept of fast food to Italian cuisine. The restaurant's name is a tribute to the town of Spoleto, Italy.

The company was established in 1999 in Rio de Janeiro by Eduardo Ourivio and Mário Chady. In 2001, the company adopted the franchise system.

Currently, the chain has over 200 restaurants located throughout Brazil, eight in Mexico and three in Spain.[1]

History

Spoleto's history begins in 1992 with the partnership of friends Eduardo and Mario Chady Ourívio for the opening of Guilhermina Café in Leblon. With the success of the first cafeteria they opened other cafeterias, which paved the way for other projects: a restaurant, a catering business and a gastronomic center with six stores.[2]

Through the knowledge learned in the projects, Mario and Eduardo realized the opportunity to serve the people who eat out every day, so they created the concept of Spoleto, where the customer can choose the ingredients of the meal.[2]
