Irvine, California is the home of Spoleto's first U.S. location outside of Florida, according to a press release.
The fast casual Italian concept began in Brazil and expanded outside the country less than two years ago.
"With more than 350 established locations in Brazil and four in Florida, the Spoleto team decided to bring our unique concept to California after rave reviews to give people an option they've never seen before," said U.S. Company President, John Velasquez, in the release. "We are poised for significant growth throughout the U.S., it's exciting to see the interest from investors and large franchise companies all over the country. Our goal is to grow our brand throughout Orlando while expanding nationally in key markets like southern California."
