When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. Onesti Pizzeria's record stops at Jan 18, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the recurring theme, flagged six times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
