Score
Across the available record, La Villa has 22 inspections on file, the first dated 2013. On Aug 27, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 11 times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
