Low Risk

Bella! Bacino's has been inspected 15 times since 2010. On Mar 19, 2018, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The most recent inspection at Bella! Bacino's is from Mar 19, 2018, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited nine times.

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
