n.a.

Currito is a fast-casual restaurant concept serving freshly prepared grain bowls, wraps, and salads, along with smoothies, milkshakes, and sides. The menu is built around bold, globally inspired flavor combinations, with chef-created marinades and sauces used across its offerings, for both dine-in and takeout.

Currito was founded in 2005 by brothers Joe and John Lanni in Cincinnati, Ohio. After building experience with restaurant groups in Boston and Chicago, the founders launched Currito around a customizable, made-to-order format and refined it into a repeatable operating system. Franchising is offered through Airport and College Services, LLC, which supports restaurants operating under the Currito name and standards.
