Medium Risk

Going back to 2010, Bonivino's has 27 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Jun 17, 2024. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

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

“Insects, rodents, & animals not present” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 16 times across the record.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
