Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 9, 2012. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Public records show no inspections at Mio Bento since Aug 9, 2012, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around seven violations per visit versus roughly two violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
