Score
Old Lwiw Restaurant has been inspected 20 times since 2010. Old Lwiw Restaurant was last inspected on Jun 20, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around seven violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “proper cooling methods used” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
