Score
Maggiano's Little Italy appears in inspection records 31 times, starting in 2010. On Jun 2, 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 produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near six violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “insects, rodents, & animals not present”, which has been cited 11 times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Maggiano's Little Italy on the weaker side. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
