Low Risk

Paola's Vinum has been inspected six times since 2012. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 27, 2015. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Paola's Vinum's record stops at Mar 27, 2015, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Paola's Vinum on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
